Our bot will login to an XMPP server, join an MUC chat room +and "lurk" indefinitely, responding with a generic message to anyone +that mentions its nickname. It will also greet members as they join the +chat room. + +.. _`multi-user chat`: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html + +Joining The Room +---------------- + +As usual, our code will be based on the pattern explained in :ref:`echobot`. +To start, we create an ``MUCBot`` class based on +:class:`ClientXMPP ` and which accepts +parameters for the JID of the MUC room to join, and the nick that the +bot will use inside the chat room. We also register an +:term:`event handler` for the :term:`session_start` event. + + +.. code-block:: python + + import sleekxmpp + + class MUCBot(sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP): + + def __init__(self, jid, password, room, nick): + sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP.__init__(self, jid, password) + + self.room = room + self.nick = nick + + self.add_event_handler("session_start", self.start) + +After initialization, we also need to register the MUC (XEP-0045) plugin +so that we can make use of the group chat plugin's methods and events. + +.. code-block:: python + + xmpp.register_plugin('xep_0045') + +Finally, we can make our bot join the chat room once an XMPP session +has been established: + +.. code-block:: python + + def start(self, event): + self.get_roster() + self.send_presence() + self.plugin['xep_0045'].joinMUC(self.room, + self.nick, + wait=True) + +Note that as in :ref:`echobot`, we need to include send an initial presence and request +the roster. Next, we want to join the group chat, so we call the +``joinMUC`` method of the MUC plugin. + +.. note:: + + The :attr:`plugin ` attribute is + dictionary that maps to instances of plugins that we have previously + registered, by their names. + + +Adding Functionality +-------------------- + +Currently, our bot just sits dormantly inside the chat room, but we +would like it to respond to two distinct events by issuing a generic +message in each case to the chat room. In particular, when a member +mention's the bot's nickname inside the chat room, and when a member +joins the chat room. + +Responding to Mentions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Whenever a user mentions our bot's nickname in chat, our bot will +respond with a generic message resembling *"I heard that, user."* We do +this by examining all of the messages sent inside the chat, and looking +for the ones which contain the nickname string. + +First, we register an event handler for the :term:`groupchat_message` +event inside the bot's ``__init__`` function. + +.. note:: + + We do not register a handler for the :term:`message` event in this + bot, but if we did, the group chat message would have been sent to + both handlers. + +.. code-block:: python + + def __init__(self, jid, password, room, nick): + sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP.__init__(self, jid, password) + + self.room = room + self.nick = nick + + self.add_event_handler("session_start", self.start) + self.add_event_handler("groupchat_message", self.muc_message) + +Then, we can send our generic message whenever the bot's nickname gets +mentioned. + +.. warning:: + + Always check that a message is not from yourself, + otherwise you will create an infinite loop responding + to your own messages. + +.. code-block:: python + + def muc_message(self, msg): + if msg['mucnick'] != self.nick and self.nick in msg['body']: + self.send_message(mto=msg['from'].bare, + mbody="I heard that, %s." % msg['mucnick'], + mtype='groupchat') + + +Greeting Members +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Now we want to greet member whenever they join the group chat. To +do this we will use the dynamic ``muc::room@server::got_online`` [1]_ +event so it's a good idea to register an event handler for it. + +.. note:: + + The groupchat_presence event is triggered whenever a + presence stanza is received from any chat room, including + any presences you send yourself. To limit event handling + to a single room, use the events ``muc::room@server::presence``, + ``muc::room@server::got_online``, or ``muc::room@server::got_offline``. + +.. code-block:: python + + def __init__(self, jid, password, room, nick): + sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP.__init__(self, jid, password) + + self.room = room + self.nick = nick + + self.add_event_handler("session_start", self.start) + self.add_event_handler("groupchat_message", self.muc_message) + self.add_event_handler("muc::%s::got_online" % self.room, + self.muc_online) + +Now all that's left to do is to greet them: + +.. code-block:: python + + def muc_online(self, presence): + if presence['muc']['nick'] != self.nick: + self.send_message(mto=presence['from'].bare, + mbody="Hello, %s %s" % (presence['muc']['role'], + presence['muc']['nick']), + mtype='groupchat') + +.. [1] this is similar to the :term:`got_online` event and is sent by + the xep_0045 plugin whenever a member joins the referenced + MUC chat room. + + +Final Product +------------- + +.. compound:: + + The final step is to create a small runner script for initialising our ``MUCBot`` class and adding some + basic configuration options. By following the basic boilerplate pattern in :ref:`echobot`, we arrive + at the code below. To experiment with this example, you can use: + + .. code-block:: sh + + python muc.py -d -j jid@example.com -r room@muc.example.net -n lurkbot + + which will prompt for the password, log in, and join the group chat. To test, open + your regular IM client and join the same group chat that you sent the bot to. You + will see ``lurkbot`` as one of the members in the group chat, and that it greeted + you upon entry. Send a message with the string "lurkbot" inside the body text, and you + will also see that it responds with our pre-programmed customized message. + +.. include:: ../../examples/muc.py + :literal: diff --git a/examples/muc.py b/examples/muc.py index 8fe2eb49..7b93da16 100755 --- a/examples/muc.py +++ b/examples/muc.py @@ -76,8 +76,8 @@ class MUCBot(sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP): event does not provide any additional data.
