obby_client 0.2.0

The Obby IRCv3 client engine, over its C ABI.

obby_client

Dart bindings for the Obby IRCv3 client engine. It parses the protocol, drives the connection and holds the client model. It opens no socket and keeps no clock, so you hand it bytes and the time.

dart pub add obby_client

The engine is a native library reached through its C ABI, so your application ships libobby_ffi and points the client at it. Every release includes a build for Linux, macOS and Windows: https://github.com/obbyworld/obby-client/releases.

import 'package:obby_client/obby_client.dart';

final client = ObbyClient({'nick': 'mynick'}, libraryPath: 'libobby_ffi.so');
client.handleConnected();

socket.listen((data) {
  client.handleBytes(data);
  for (final event in client.pollEvents()) render(event);
  for (var bytes = client.pollTransmit(); bytes != null; bytes = client.pollTransmit()) {
    socket.add(bytes);
  }
});

client.join('#obby');
client.close();

Call close when finished. The engine holds native memory that Dart's collector knows nothing about. One client belongs to one isolate: the native handle is not synchronised, so give each isolate its own.
