Plugin Development

This page needs to be written. For now it is simply a repository of snippets and todos.

Useful Topics that Need Content:

• settings
  • namespaced settings for each plugin
  • createDefaultSettings function
• callbacks
• commands
  • how commands are called by the users
  • command_ vs admin_
• automatic help documentation if commands provide a docstring
  • {nick} and {command_prefix} automatically replaced
  • do_not_notify_plugins anywhere in the docstring prevents the plugins from knowing the command has been handled (for example, to prevent it from being logged with sensitive data)
• send vs reply
• persistence
  • creating models and importing them
  • creating and querying data
