Extending

Adding new replies and commands to botman is straightforward

There are 3 types of commands that you can register with botman, each requires as parameters a capture RegExp to match against a sent or received message, and a callback that's executed when the capture is executed.

• hear(capture, callback)

  Triggered when you attempt to send a message that matches the capture regex

• comply(capture, callback)

  Same as hear, except requires that botman be called before matching the message text.

• reply(capture, callback)

  Triggered when you receive a message that matches the capture reges

// contain your excitement
robot.comply(/hi+/i, function(msg){
    msg.send("hi");
});

The callback when botman matches a registered command receives as an argument a Message object with the following properties:

• match

  Array result of the regex match on message (useful for capturing arguments for your commands)

• target

  Chatbox textarea HTMLElement from the conversation that triggered the callback.

And functions:

• body()

  Body of the original message that triggered the conversation

• send(messageBody)

  Immediately send a message

• replace(messageBody)

  Replace all text in the chatbox textarea (useful for messages you want to evaluate or to trigger Facebook's link sharing parsing before sending)
