Wechaty Plugin Contrib Package for the Community

Image Credit: What is Plugin

Introduction

When you find yourself writing repetitive code, it’s time to extract it into a plugin.

Wechaty has a great support for using Plugins by calling Wechaty.use(WechatyPlugin()). A Wechaty Plugin is a JavaScript function that returns a function which accepts a Wechaty instance.

The first Wechaty Plugin system was design by our core team developer @gcaufy from issue #1939(Wechaty Plugin Support with Kick out Example) to PR #1946(feat: added wechaty plugin).

This package is for publishing the Wechaty Plugins that are very common used by the core developer team.

Requirements

1. Wechaty v0.40 or above versions

Connect rooms together, it supports three modes:

1. 1:N - OneToManyRoomConnector can broadcast the messages in one room to others.
2. M:1 - ManyToOneRoomConnector can summary messages from rooms into one room.
3. M:M - ManyToManyRoomConnector will broadcast every message between rooms.

   1. many: use string[] as list of room ids to broadcast to
