UnrealIRCd RPC for Node.js

This allows a Node.js bot like irc-framework to control UnrealIRCd via the JSON-RPC interface.

Installation

1. Install: npm i unrealircd-rpc-node
2. Code a little by integrating it with IRC-framework or another library.

Manual installation

1. Download https://github.com/Madriix/unrealircd-rpc-node.git
2. Rename the folder unrealircd-rpc-node-main to unrealircd-rpc-node
3. Add unrealircd-rpc-node to the same folder as your node bot
4. Install ws: npm install ws
5. Code a little by integrating it with IRC-framework or another library.

Bot setup (with IRC-framework)

UnrealIRCd 6.0.6 or later is needed and you need to enable JSON-RPC in it. After doing that, be sure to rehash the IRCd.

Usage

Here is an example with IRC-framework

const { UnrealIRCdRpc, unrealircdRpc } = require('unrealircd-rpc-node');

// Set the correct address and port for your UnrealIRCd RPC.
UnrealIRCdRpc.address = "wss://ApiUser:api-user-password@127.0.0.1:8600/";

// ...

bot.on('message', async function (event) {
    console.log('<' + event.nick + '>', event.message);
    console.log(event);

    if (!/^#/.test(event.target) && /^!test_unrealircd_rpc_1$/.test(event.message)) {

        await unrealircdRpc.serverBanAdd(
            "~account:test",
            "gline",
            "60",
            "Abuse"
        );

    }

    if (!/^#/.test(event.target) && /^!test_unrealircd_rpc_2$/.test(event.message)) {

        const bans = await unrealircdRpc.serverBanGetAll();
        for (const ban of bans) {
            bot.raw(`PRIVMSG ${event.nick} :There's a ${ban.type} on ${ban.name}`);
        }

    }

    if (!/^#/.test(event.target) && /^!test_unrealircd_rpc_3$/.test(event.message)) {

        await unrealircdRpc.sendPrivmsg("TestNick", "Test message");

    }

    if (!/^#/.test(event.target) && /^!test_unrealircd_rpc_4$/.test(event.message)) {

        await unrealircdRpc.sendNumeric(
            "Nick",
            318,
            "End of /WHOIS list."
        );

    }

    if (!/^#/.test(event.target) && /^!test_unrealircd_rpc_5$/.test(event.message)) {

        const securitygroups = await unrealircdRpc.listSecurityGroups();
        for (const group of securitygroups) {
            bot.raw(`PRIVMSG ${event.nick} :Security-Group : ${group.name}`);
        }

    }

    if (!/^#/.test(event.target) && /^!test_unrealircd_rpc_6$/.test(event.message)) {

        const group = await unrealircdRpc.getSecurityGroup(
            "unknown-users"
        );

        if (group) {
            bot.raw(`PRIVMSG ${event.nick} Security-Group ${group.name}`);
            for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(group)) {
                bot.raw(`PRIVMSG ${event.nick} :${key} = ${value}`);
            }
        }

    }

});

Just go to the bot's private account and type "!test_unrealircd_rpc_1", it will answer you and add a gline to ~account:test.

When testing the command "!test_unrealircd_rpc_2", you will see the list of bans.

By testing "!test_unrealircd_rpc_3", you will receive a message from the IRC server if you replace the nick TestNick with your own nick.

You can also test "!test_unrealircd_rpc_4" and others.

If the example does not work, then make sure you have configured your UnrealIRCd correctly, with the same API username and password you use here, with an allowed IP, and changing the wss://127.0.0.1:8600/ too if needed.

I was inspired by the code unrealircd-rpc-php by copying. I use it on an irc-framework bot, it works well for ServerBan (add/del/list) and Message (send_privmsg, send_notice, send_numeric).

With unrealircdRpc, you can use the following commands:

Server bans (KLINE / GLINE / etc.)

Add a server ban

await unrealircdRpc.serverBanAdd(
  "~account:test",
  "gline",
  3600, // or "3600"

Notes

• All methods return the raw UnrealIRCd RPC response
• Errors are propagated as-is
• Optional parameters follow the official UnrealIRCd API
• Not all commands have been tested by me, except for a few
• If you update it or find something that works, please let me know
