Introduction

irc-xdcc is a node-irc module promises based extension providing xdcc handlers.

It's basically a recode of Indysama node-xdcc / DaVarga node-axdcc.

Options

irc-xdcc provide a promise wrapper for the irc module. It extends the available options with the following:

{
    progressInterval: 1 // [Number(int)] Interval (in seconds) for the progress update event (xdcc-progress) -- Default: 1
  , destPath: '/path/to/destination' // [String] The destination path for downloads -- Default: module lib path + /downloads -> path.join(__dirname, 'downloads')
  , resume: true // [Boolean] Allow download to be resumed -- Default: true
  , acceptUnpooled: false // [Boolean] Accept unrequested DCC download (accept a DCC download that doesn't match any DCC instance found in _xdccPool array -- Default: false
  , closeConnectionOnDisconnect: true // [Boolean] Defines if active sockets should be closed if the IRC client get disconnected or killed -- Default: true
  , method: 'say' // [String] Defines the method to trigger xdcc bots, either 'say' or 'ctcp' (you can also use 'msg' which is equivalent to 'say') -- Default: 'say'
  , sendCommand: 'XDCC SEND' // [String] the command sent to the bot to initiate the xdcc transfert -- Default: 'XDCC SEND'
  , cancelCommand: 'XDCC CANCEL' // [String] the command sent to the bot to cancel the xdcc transfert -- Default: 'XDCC CANCEL'
  , removeCommand: 'XDCC REMOVE' // [String] the command sent to the bot to cancel a queued transfert -- Default: 'XDCC REMOVE'
  , joinTopicChans: true // [Boolean] automatically rejoin channels mentioned in the topic -- Default: true
  , queuedParser:  /queue for pack #?(\d+) \("(\.+)"\) in position/ // [RegExp] regexp to parse queue notices/messages -- Default:  /queue for pack #?(\d+) \("(\.+)"\) in position/
  , sendParser: /sending( you)?( queued)? pack #?(\d+) \("(.+)"\)/i // [RegExp] regexp to parse send notices/messages -- Default:  /sending( you)?( queued)? pack #?(\d+) \("(.+)"\)/i
}

Constructor

Instead of using the new irc.Client() method as a construtor, the irc-xdcc module provides a promise wrapper:

ircXdcc(server, nick, options).then(function(instance) {});

Sample:

// load irc-xdcc module
var ircXdcc = require('irc-xdcc')
// set options object
  , ircOptions = {
        userName: 'ircClient'
      , realName: 'irc Client'
      , port: 6697
      , autoRejoin: true
      , autoConnect: true
      , channels: [ '#xdcc', '#xdcc-chat' ]
      , secure: true
      , selfSigned: true
      , certExpired: true
      , stripColors: true
      , encoding: 'UTF-8'
      // xdcc specific options
      , progressInterval: 5
      , destPath: './dls'
      , resume: false
      , acceptUnpooled: true
      , closeConnectionOnDisconnect: false
    }
// used to store bot instance
  , botInstance
  ;
  
// construct instance using promise
ircXdcc('irc.myserver.com', 'myBotNick', ircOptions)
    .then(function(instance) {
      botInstance = instance;
      botInstance.addListener('registered', function() { console.log('bot connected'); });
    })
    .catch(console.error.bind(console));

Methods

irc-xdcc module extends irc.Client methods with a set of promises:

xdcc(packInfo)

Add a xdccInstance to the pool and starts xdcc transfer for the provided pack infos ( { botNick: 'xdccBot', packId: 1 } ) where botNick is the xdcc server bot nick and packId, the required pack id.

botInstance.xdcc({ botNick: 'xdccBot', packId: '1'})
    .then(function(xdccInstance) {})
    .catch(function(err) {
        if(err.code) {
            console.error('Error ' + err.code + ': ' +  err.message);
        }
        else {
            console.error(err);
        }
    });

cancelXdcc(xdccInstance)

Cancel DCC transfer using xdccInstance.

botInstance.cancelXdcc(xdccInstance)
    .then(function() {})
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
    });

cancelPackInfo(packInfo)

Cancel DCC transfer instances matching packInfo ({ botNick: 'xdccBot', packId: 1 }).

botInstance.cancelPackInfo({ botNick: 'xdccBot', packId: '1'})
    .then(function() {})
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
    });

cancelPoolId(poolId)

Cancel DCC transfer for the specified poolId (xdccInstance.xdccPoolId).

botInstance.cancelPoolId(2)
    .then(function() {})
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
    });

getXdccPool()

Returns xdccPool array (where xdccInstances are stored).

botInstance.getXdccPool()
    .then(function(xdccPool) {})
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
    });

removeXdcc(xdccInstance)

Cancel xdcc transfer and remove xdccInstance from pool.

botInstance.removeXdcc(xdccInstance)
    .then(function() {})
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
    });

removePoolId(poolId)

Cancel xdcc transfer and remove xdccInstance from pool using its pool id.

botInstance.removePoolId(1)
    .then(function() {})
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
    });
