App::B...uggable(3pm)

💖 App::B...uggable — the manual page, but make it bestie 💖

okay so this is the App::B...uggable(3pm) page, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your manual, so you already know it's the community-made, handcrafted, artisanal kind of docs. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

App::Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable — bestie, it's the base class for bot applications. that's the whole vibe. it's the foundation, the blueprint, the main character skeleton that your bot gets built on top of. 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.30 — no cap, that's the number. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole thing in action, and yes we are copying it exactly, character for character, because details are sacred:

  my bot = App::Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable( modules => [ 'Karma' ] )
  $bot->run();

look at it go. iconic. 🌈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ — this module is basically intended as a base class for Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable frontends. it's not out here doing the whole job by itself, it's the supporting structure, the scaffolding, the bones of the operation. 🦴✨

and the way you configure it? its attributes can be set by command line options or a configuration file. that's it, that's the flex. two whole doors into the same room, pick whichever one sparks joy. 🚪🚪

---

👑 ATTRIBUTES 👑

okay so all of the attributes listed right after this are documented in the manpage of bot-basicbot-pluggable. that's the official source of truth, go read it. 📖

and here's the little transformation trick you need: just replace all dashes with underscores. that's the whole conversion. --some-thing becomes some_thing. periodt. 💅

here's the full list, every single one, not skipping a single name because we don't do that here:

• server
• nick
• charset
• password
• port
• list_modules
• list_stores
• loglevel
• logconfig
• configfile
• module

that's all eleven. count them. we did not lose one. 🫶

🔥 METHODS 🔥

🌟 run

so run is the method, and here's exactly how it behaves:

• if list_modules or list_stores are set to a true value, then the according list gets printed to stdout. that's it, it just shows you the list and you vibe with the information. 📋✨
• otherwise — and this is the "we're actually doing stuff" branch — the run method of the bot specified by the bot_class method is called. yes, run calling run. it's giving recursion-adjacent energy but it's just delegating to the bot class, don't overthink it. 🔁

lowkey important: that's an either/or. lists out, or the bot runs. not both. pick your lane bestie. 🛣️

and that's the whole page bestie!! 💖 written up against perl v5.40.0, dated 2024-08-24, and yeah the footer name is the same cute little truncated App::B...uggable(3pm) because the manpage header has a character limit and honestly? relatable. we've all been there. 🫶✨ go build a bot, ily, bye!! 🌸🦋💜
