💬 Twitch chat in your terminal

twitch-chat-cli

Read Twitch chat on your terminal

Installation

$ npm install -g twitch-chat-cli

Usage

First generate an OAuth token to connect to the Twitch IRC.

Add your OAuth token:

$ tc add <username> <token>

Connect to a channel to start reading chat:

$ tc connect <channel-name>

Emotes

This feature currently only works in iTerm, which has support for displaying pictures.

To see Twitch emotes as pictures, you will need to have the API server running, which allows the CLI to query for global and channel specific emotes. You will need to have Docker installed to run the server.

You will need to have Git LFS installed.

First clone this repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/dongy7/twitch-chat-cli.git

Start the Docker containers from the api directory:

$ cd api
$ docker-compose up

The server should now be running at http://localhost:3000/.

Fetching channel emoticon metadata hanging

Hi there, first off thanks for building this it's a brilliant idea!

Running into an issue at the moment when fetching channel emoticon metadata.

I've used docker-compose up -d to run the API server on port 3000 and it seems to be fine, this is what I get from docker-compose ps:

     Name                   Command               State           Ports
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
api_app_1        docker-entrypoint.sh npm start   Up      0.0.0.0:3000->3000/tcp
api_postgres_1   docker-entrypoint.sh postgres    Up      0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp

Once I use tc connect theycallmemac_ however I get the following response:

✔ Checking for emoticon api.
⠏ Fetching channel emoticon metadata.

It just seems to hang forever while it attempts to fetch the emoticon metadata. If I stop the container, it works fine again.

Any ideas why this may be happening?
