Creating a plugin

Every functionality needs to be handled by a command e.g. /help which belongs to a plugin e.g. Help plugin. In other words, a plugin can have one or more commands.

Add a new plugin / command

Add the new command to src/Botonomous/CommandContainer.php and also add the plugin file to src/Botonomous/plugin. For every command plugin name, action (which is a function with the same name in the plugin) and description need to be specified. e.g.

protected static $commands = [
    'ping' => [
        'plugin'      => 'Ping',
        'action'      => 'index',  
        'description' => 'Use as a health check',
    ]
];

Please note if action is not specified, index is considered as the default action. Finally, for each action add a function with the same name to the plugin file:

/**
 * Class Ping.
 */
class Ping extends AbstractPlugin
{
    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return 'pong';
    }
}
