Hooks

Hooks are DEPRECATED - please see plugins

Hooks allow extension of bot functionality by adding modular packages which contain class methods. These methods are called on common chat events:

• init, called when the hook is first loaded (one-time per run)
• on_chat_message
• on_membership_change
• on_rename

A fully-functional chat logger is provided as part of the repo, and can be found in hangoutsbot/hooks/chatlogger/writer.php. The chat logger logs each chat the bot is operating in inside separate text files.

Note that hooks can use config.json as a configuration source as well. In the case of the example chat logger, the following configuration is necessary:

...,
"hooks": [
{
  "module": "hooks.chatlogger.writer.logger",
  "config":
  {
    "storage_path": "<location to store chat log files>"
  }
}
],
...
