Note: This app is still very much WIP and some poorly abstracted and hardcoded functions and values still exist.
Known Issues: Token refresh race condition. (Workaround: Comment root process exit, run the app, let it refresh, and then restart.)
A Twitch bot application that runs an Apollo Server based GraphQL server and connects to and listens for Twitch Chat and PubSub events.
Development of this app requires Node 14 and a basic knowledge of Apollo Server GraphQL best practices and a working knowledge of the Twitch & OBS Studio Websocket APIs. To start the app in dev mode, run:
npm start
| ENV Var | Description |
|---|---|
OBS_ADDRESS |
OBS Websocket address. Usually localhost:4444. |
OBS_PASSWORD |
You OBS Websocket password, if any. |
OBS_SOURCE_BACKGROUND |
The name of the source you're changing filters on for the background color service. |
TWITCH_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID |
Your Twitch application client id, registered on the Twitch Dev Console. |
TWITCH_APPLICATION_CLIENT_SECRET |
Your Twitch application client secret, found on the Twitch Dev Console. |
TWITCH_CHAT_CHANNEL |
The Twitch channel you want to connect your bot to. |
Until I implement a database solution, Twitch API tokens are stored in a JSON file per Twitch Auth Providers in the app root, botTokens.json and channelTokens.json. Please follow the Twitch OAuth Authorization Code Flow to authorize both your main channel and your bot channel and get access tokens and refresh tokens for each with the scopes you want. Add them into their respective JSON files in the below format, and the app should take care automatically refreshing the tokens while the app is running.
{
"accessToken": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123",
"refreshToken": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz01234567890abcdefghijklm"
}
