This section is inspired by my friends at Spatie.

Installation

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/fwartner/twitch-chat-bot.git

Go to the project directory

  cd live-chat-bot

Install dependencies

  npm install

Start the server

  npm run start

Configuration

To get the chatbot working you'll need to obtain an oauth token for the user which is impersonated by the chatbot. I suggest using https://twitchapps.com/tmi.

NOTE: Only the part behind oauth: is needed for the configuration.

Create your local .env file by copying the .env.example:

cp .env.example .env

Fill out the required field:

• TWITCH_USERNAME: The username for the chatbot
• TWITCH_OAUTH: The key you just obtained from twitchapps.com
• TWITCH_CHANNEL: The channel on Twitch you want to interact with
• WEBSITE: Your website

Bad Word Filtering

The chatbot can also filter and automatically delete words or messages.

To add words that will be filtered by the bot simply edit the src/constants.js file:

...
export const BLOCKED_WORDS = [
    'hiphop', // Add more words here..
]
...
