🟪joinChannel

The joinChannel method allows the bot to join a specific IRC channel.

Syntax

bot.joinChannel(channel, password);

Parameters

• channel (string, required) – The IRC channel the bot should join (e.g., #channelname).

• password(string, optional) – Password to join a protected channel

Example Usage

While you can call joinChannel directly, it is recommended to do so after receiving the connected event to ensure the bot is properly connected before joining channels.

bot.on('connected', () => {

    // Join the channel after the bot is connected.
    bot.joinChannel('#YOUR-CHANNEL', 'PASSWORD');

});

Notes

• Ensure the channel name starts with #.

• The bot should be connected before attempting to join a channel.

• If the channel is password-protected, you need to set your "password" parameter.
