Otto

otto is a imessage OSX chat handler. It runs in applescript with a golang parser.

imessage chat syntax:
otto COMMAND ARGS
(otto) (say) (that's cool!)

features:

• modular commands
• customizeable settings
• settings backup (if your settings file gets corrupted)

bugs:

• There is only 1 chat room stored, so data from other chats can show up
• Double messages - otto replies twice. This happens when you have unread messages in 1 chat, and otto is called in another.

set it up:

• clone this repo and give a star.
• change the ottohandler and settings.json location 2x inside of otto.applescript
• move otto.applescript to ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.iChat
• select otto.applescript as your imessage handler.

adding a function:

1. create your function inside library.go. Make sure it is one of these types:

• func(string, string) string calls a function with message and from as arguments
• func(string) string calls a function with message as the argument
• func() string calls a function that returns a string
• string returns a message

2. add your function and it's keyword to ottomap inside library.go
3. if your function takes arguments, make sure it handles edge cases including:

• no arguments called
• space is first character of argument
• incorrect arguments
