Twitch-Chat sample
Using the Twitch sample bundle
The Twitch-chat example bundle in samples/twitch-chat demonstrates the ability to get access to a twitch chat and printing all messages of it. Here is a guide to how to get it working.
Prerequisites
- Working NodeCG & nodecg-io installation
- a Twitch oAuth-Key
Note: If you don't have such a key yet, you can generate it on https://twitchapps.com/tmi/. Just log into your Twitch account and copy the token.
Configure the Twitch sample bundle
-
Start nodecg with nodecg-io installed. The Twitch-chat bundle is currently part of it so it should also be loaded.
-
Go to the
nodecg-iotab in the nodecg dashboard. -
Login using your password. If this is your first run, then enter the password with which you want to encrypt your configurations and credentials.
-
Create a new twitch-chat service instance using the left upper menu.
-
Enter credentials for twitch.
The created instance should be automatically selected, if not select it in the upper left menu. Enter your Twitch oauth Key in monaco (the text-editor on the right) in this format:
{ "oauthKey": "oauth:abcdef...." }After entering it, click save.
Note: If you don't see monaco on the right, try reloading the page.
-
Set the created twitch-chat service instance to the service dependency of the Twitch-chat bundle.
Select the Twitch-chat bundle and the twitch-chat service in the left bottom menu and then select the service instance that should be used by the Twitch-chat bundle (in this case the name of the previously created twitch-chat instance).
-
Check the nodecg logs
You should see an error or a success message and all twitch messages that are written in the twitch channel that is hardcoded in
samples/twitch-chat/extension/index.ts.
