Hobot(an abbreviation of Homunculus Bot)

A bot framework working on Erlang VM(BEAM). Plugins for Hobot are just :gen_server so you can meke a plugin with any language working on Erlang VM (e.g. Erlang, Elixir, LFE, Alpaca).

You can see an adapter sample and a handler sample.

Usage

% git clone https://github.com/niku/hobot
% cd hobot
% mix deps.get
% iex -S mix
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]

Interactive Elixir (1.6.1) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)> bot_name = "EchoBot"
iex(2)> adapter_conf = %{module: Hobot.Plugin.Adapter.Shell, args: [Process.group_leader()]}
iex(3)> handlers_conf = [%{module: Hobot.Plugin.Handler.Echo, args: [["on_message"]]}]
iex(4)> {:ok, echo_bot} = Hobot.create(bot_name, adapter_conf, handlers_conf)
iex(5)> context = Hobot.context(echo_bot)
iex(6)> adapter_pid = Hobot.pid(context.adapter)
iex(7)> Hobot.Plugin.Adapter.Shell.gets("> ", adapter_pid)
> hello
"hello"
> hi
"hi"
> quit
nil
iex(8)>

Also, a sample application which works is eloido.
