## Configuration

```yaml
---

# This must be the config version you've used below. Current version
# is version 2 so probably keep it at 2 until the bot tells you to
# upgrade.
config_version: 2

# List of strings: Either Twitch user-ids or nicknames (best to stick
# with IDs as they can't change while nicknames can be changed every
# 60 days). Those users are able to use the config editor web-interface.
bot_editors: []

# joined and therefore cannot be actioned on.
channels:

    message: 'Automated message'  # String, message to send
    use_action: true              # Bool, optional, send message as action (`/me <message>`)

    # Even though all of these are optional, at least one MUST be specified for the entry to be valid
    cron: '*/10 * * * *'  # String, optional, cron syntax when to send the message
    message_interval: 3   # Integer, optional, how many non-bot-messages must be sent in between

      attributes:

    # which means other channels are not affected.
    channel_cooldown: 1s # Duration value: 1s / 1m / 1h

    # Add a cooldown to the rule per user (not to trigger counters twice, ...)

## Templating

There are certain variables available in the strings with templating enabled:

- `channel` - Channel the message was sent to, only available for regular messages not events
- `msg` - The message object, used in functions, should not be sent to chat
- `permitTimeout` - Value of `permit_timeout` in seconds
- `username` - The username of the message author

Additionally there are some functions available in the templates:

- `arg <idx>` - Takes the message sent to the channel, splits by space and returns the Nth element
- `botHasBadge <badge>` - Checks whether bot has the given badge in the current channel
- `channelCounter <counter name>` - Wraps the counter name into a channel specific counter name including the channel name
- `concat <delimiter> <...parts>` - Join the given string parts with delimiter
- `counterValue <counter name>` - Returns the current value of the counter which identifier was supplied
- `displayName <username> [fallback]` - Returns the display name the specified user set for themselves
- `fixUsername <username>` - Ensures the username no longer contains the `@` or `#` prefix
- `formatDuration <duration> <hours> <minutes> <seconds>` - Returns a formated duration. Pass empty strings to leave out the part: `{{ formatDuration .dur "hours" "minutes" "" }}` yields `N hours, M minutes`
- `followDate <from> <to>` - Looks up when `from` followed `to`
- `group <idx> [fallback]` - Gets matching group specified by index from `match_message` regular expression, when `fallback` is defined, it is used when group has an empty match
- `recentGame <username> [fallback]` - Returns the last played game name of the specified user (see shoutout example) or the `fallback` if the game could not be fetched. If no fallback was supplied the message will fail and not be sent.
- `streamUptime <username>` - Returns the duration the stream is online (causes an error if no current stream is found)
- `tag <tagname>` - Takes the message sent to the channel, returns the value of the tag specified
- `toLower <string>` - Converts the given string to lower-case
- `toUpper <string>` - Converts the given string to upper-case
- `variable <name> [default]` - Returns the variable value or default in case it is empty

For some events special variables are made available:
- `title` - Available in `title_update` - The new stream title
- `category` - Available in `category_update` - The new stream category

## Command executions

Your command will get a JSON object passed through `stdin` you can parse to gain details about the message. It is expected to yield an array of actions on `stdout` and exit with status `0`. If it does not the action will be marked failed. In case you need to output debug output you can use `stderr` which is directly piped to the bots `stderr`.

This is an example input you might get on `stdin`:

```json
{
  "badges": {
    "glhf-pledge": 1,
    "moderator": 1
  },
  "channel": "#tezrian",
  "message": "!test",
  "tags": {
    "badge-info": "",
    "badges": "moderator/1,glhf-pledge/1",
    "client-nonce": "6801c82a341f728dbbaad87ef30eae49",
    "color": "#A72920",
    "display-name": "Luziferus",
    "emotes": "",
    "flags": "",
    "id": "dca06466-3741-4b22-8339-4cb5b07a02cc",
    "mod": "1",
    "room-id": "485884564",
    "subscriber": "0",
    "tmi-sent-ts": "1610313040489",
    "turbo": "0",
    "user-id": "69699328",
    "user-type": "mod"
  },
  "username": "luziferus"
}
```

The example was dumped using this action:

```yaml
  - actions:
    - command: [/usr/bin/bash, -c, "jq . >&2"]
    match_channels: ['#tezrian']
    match_message: '^!test'
```
