girc -- 💣 girc is a flexible IRC library for Go 👌

🔗 Table of Contents

Features

  • Focuses on simplicity, yet tries to still be flexible.
  • Only requires standard library packages
  • Event based triggering/responses (example, and CTCP too!)
  • Documentation is mostly complete.
  • Support for a good portion of the IRCv3 spec.
    • SASL Auth (currently only PLAIN and EXTERNAL is support by default, however you can simply implement SASLMech yourself to support additional mechanisms.)
    • Message tags (things like account-tag on by default)
    • account-notify, away-notify, chghost, extended-join, etc -- all handled seemlessly (cap.go for more info).
  • Channel and user tracking. Easily find what users are in a channel, if a user is away, or if they are authenticated (if the server supports it!)
  • Client state/capability tracking. Easy methods to access capability data (LookupChannel, LookupUser, GetServerOption (ISUPPORT), etc.)
  • Built-in support for things you would commonly have to implement yourself.

Installing

$ go get -u github.com/lrstanley/girc
