## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
### Customize commands.sh only
|
|
|
|
To ease Updates never change ```bashbot.sh```, instead individual commands should go to ```commands.sh``` . Insert your Bot commands in the ```case ... esac``` block:
|
|
```bash
|
|
case "$MESSAGE" in
|
|
'/echo') # my first own command, echo MESSAGE
|
|
send_normal_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "${MESSAGE}"
|
|
;;
|
|
|
|
################################################
|
|
# DEFAULT commands start here, do not edit below this!
|
|
'/info')
|
|
bashbot_info "${CHAT[ID]}"
|
|
;;
|
|
esac
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Seperate logic from commands
|
|
|
|
If a command need more than 2-3 lines of code, you should use a function to seperate logic from command. Place your functions in a seperate file, e.g. ```mycommands.inc.sh``` and source it from bashbot.sh. Example:
|
|
```bash
|
|
source "mycommands.inc.sh"
|
|
|
|
case "$MESSAGE" in
|
|
'/process') # logic for /process is done in process_message
|
|
result="$(process_message "$MESSAGE")"
|
|
send_normal_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "$result"
|
|
;;
|
|
|
|
################################################
|
|
# DEFAULT commands start here, do not edit below this!
|
|
'/info')
|
|
bashbot_info "${CHAT[ID]}"
|
|
;;
|
|
'/start')
|
|
send_action "${CHAT[ID]}" "typing"
|
|
bashbot_help "${CHAT[ID]}"
|
|
;;
|
|
esac
|
|
```
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
# file: mycommands.inc.sh
|
|
|
|
process_message() {
|
|
local ARGS="${1#/* }" # remove command
|
|
local TEXT OUTPUT=""
|
|
|
|
# process every word in MESSAGE, avoid globbing
|
|
set -f
|
|
for WORD in $ARGS
|
|
do
|
|
set +f
|
|
# process links
|
|
if [[ "$WORD" == "https://"* ]]; then
|
|
REPORT="$(dosomething_with_link "$WORD")"
|
|
# no link, add as text
|
|
else
|
|
TEXT="$(echo "${TEXT} $WORD")"
|
|
continue
|
|
fi
|
|
# compose result
|
|
OUTPUT="* ${REPORT} ${WORD} ${TEXT}"
|
|
TEXT=""
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
# return result, reset globbing in case we had no ARGS
|
|
set +f
|
|
echo "${OUTPUT}${TEXT}"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Test your Bot with shellcheck
|
|
Shellcheck is a static linter for shell scripts providing excellent tips and hints for shell coding pittfalls. You can [use it online](https://www.shellcheck.net/) or [install it on your system](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck#installing).
|
|
All bashbot scripts are linted by shellcheck.
|
|
|
|
Shellcheck examples:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ shellcheck -x mybotcommands.inc.sh
|
|
|
|
Line 17:
|
|
TEXT="$(echo "${TEXT} $WORD")"
|
|
^-- SC2116: Useless echo? Instead of 'cmd $(echo foo)', just use 'cmd foo'.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
As you can see my ```mybotcommands.inc.sh``` contains an useless echo command in 'TEXT=' assigment and can be replaced by ```TEXT="${TEXT}${WORD}"```
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ shellcheck -x examples/notify
|
|
OK
|
|
$ shellcheck -x examples/question
|
|
OK
|
|
$ shellcheck -x commands.sh
|
|
OK
|
|
$ shellcheck -x bashbot.sh
|
|
|
|
In bashbot.sh line 123:
|
|
text="$(echo "$text" | sed 's/ mynewlinestartshere /\r\n/g')" # hack for linebreaks in startproc scripts
|
|
^-- SC2001: See if you can use ${variable//search/replace} instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In bashbot.sh line 490:
|
|
CONTACT[USER_ID]="$(sed -n -e '/\["result",'$PROCESS_NUMBER',"message","contact","user_id"\]/ s/.*\][ \t]"\(.*\)"$/\1/p' <"$TMP")"
|
|
^-- SC2034: CONTACT appears unused. Verify it or export it.
|
|
```
|
|
The example show two warnings in bashbots scripts. The first is a hint you may use shell substitions instead of sed, this is fixed and much faster as the "echo | sed" solution.
|
|
The second warning is about an unused variable, this is true because in our examples CONTACT is not used but assigned in case you want to use it :-)
