Example usage

There will be more extensive examples soon. For now, here is a simple IRC echo bot in CoffeeScript.

Client = require 'squelch-client'

client = new Client
	server: "irc.esper.net"
	nick: "TestBot"
	autoConnect: false
	channels: ["#kellyirc"]

client.connect()
.then ({nick}) ->
	client.on 'msg', ({from, to, msg}) ->
		if to is "#kellyirc"
			client.msg to, "ECHO: #{msg}"

Debugging

By default, squelch-client does not output anything to the console. If you wish to see debug output, run node with the DEBUG environment variable set to squelch-client:*. To only output errors, use squelch-client:error.

$ DEBUG=squelch-client:* node main.js
