[Feature Request] Plugin to receive, and forward events.

[aetheryx]

to confirm, a fork of Eris' API for Powercord is in the works, and it will be undetectable and API-compliant

[katlyn]

for notifications (not all messages) this can be used (thanks aeth)

const { getModule } = require('powercord/webpack');
const mdl = getModule(['makeTextChatNotification']);
mdl.makeTextChatNotification = (_makeTextChatNotification => (...args) => {
  console.log('gord code goes here');
  return _makeTextChatNotification(...args);
})(mdl.makeTextChatNotification);

For Gateway messages you can just get them by doing powercord.on('webSocketMessage:gateway.discord.gg', console.log)
tho it's raw stuff so it needs to be decoded, and there is probably a way to inject somewhere to get them already decoded (or you'll have to decode them by yourself). I think aeth said something about a """""bot client"""" that would just be decoding that and re-mapping a client lib like Eris to use Discord internal functions

For other events it's mostly patching the right method, and you're good (see comment above)

[cyyynthia]

So the issue 69 will be closed when the fork of Eris is live I guess

@Bowser65 haha sex number

Since it is possible to listen for gateway events through
require('powercord/webpack').getModule([ 'dispatch', '_isDispatching' ], false).subscribe('EVENT_NAME', handler), can we close this issue?

[cyyynthia]

I'll consider we can safely close this, as you can easily subscribe to events within plugins through Discord's internals and if the point is to have a plugin forwarding events to an external source this'd belong to the plugins suggestion repo
