Chat and IRC

You can use the tmi.js module to automatically handle parsing every message.

const tmi = require('tmi.js');

let client = new tmi.client({
            options: {
                    debug: true
                },
            connection: {
                    reconnect: true
                },
            identity: {
                    username: 'username',
                    password: 'oauth token'
                },
            channels: [ 'alca' ]
        });

client.on('connected', (addr, port) => {
    console.log(`Connected via ${addr}:${port}`);
});

client.on('clearchat', channel => {
    console.log('Chat cleared in', channel);
});

/* etc. -- https://docs.tmijs.org/v1.1.1/Events.html */

client.connect();

It makes developing for the Twitch Message Interface with Javascript much faster and more simple.
