This is a demo plugin for what squadbot **could** look like

config.json

{
    "name": "squadbot-demo",
    "commands": {
        "demo": "replies \"Yoooo\""
    },
    "protocols": [
        "*"
    ]
}

squadbot_demo.js

/*
 * Squadbot demo plugin, this piece of code is non functional and written to
 * illustrate how squadbot's api's will work.
 */

// SquadBot.require is the equilevant of require.js' require function, except we
// can also load squadbot specific modules by prefixing it with squadbot/
//
// Requiring files from the filesystem only works in the plugin's own folder
const logger = SquadBot.require('squadbot/logger');
const capabilities = SquadBot.require('squadbot/capabilities');

// NPM modules are prefixed with npm/ and will be automatically installed on initialization.
const request = SquadBot.require('npm/request');

// Node's standard library is written as normal
const util = SquadBot.require('util');


// simple event handling happens like this, just like node's event emitter.
SquadBot.on('loaded', (protocols, plugins) => {
    // we have async storage available capable of storing anything json
    Squadbot.Storage.storeAsync("key", "value");

    // as well as syncrhonous reading
    Squadbot.Storage.read("key");

    // we can store public data that can be accessed by other plugins
    Squadbot.Storage.storeAsync("anotherkey", 1, true);

    // that we and other plugins can read
    Squadbot.Storage.readGlobal("squadbot-demo/key");

    logger.log("Squadbot demo-plugin has been initialized!");
});

// There also is more complex handling available:
// This event will only be called when the protocol that is firing this event
// has the capabilities described in the given array
SquadBot.on('message', [ capabilities.textMessage, capabilities.imageMessage ], (message) => {
    // of course you can also test capabilities with an if statement
    if (message.protocol.isCapable(capabilities.mention)) {
        logger.log(util.inspect(message.mentions));
    }
});

// There is a specific handler for commands
// Capability checking is available here too
SquadBot.registerCommand("demo", (args, message) => {
    logger.log("yooo");
    message.reply("Yoooo");
});
