A Node.JS library to connect to Twitch stream chats and grab some of that sweet, freely available data.
TwitchLive is a Node.JS library designed to connect to Twitch livestreams and receive realtime chat events. This is particularly useful for use cases where Twitch's official API is too permissions-restrictive
Warning:
This is a reverse-engineering project. Unless you are capable of maintaining it, do not use this in production systems. I do fix issues as they arise, but on my own time.

- Install the module via npm from the Coming Soon repository
npm i twitchlive
- Create your first chat connection
import {TwitchLiveClient, LiveEvent} from "twitchlive";
const client = new TwitchLiveClient(
"cheese.whiz"
);
client.on(LiveEvent.CONNECTED, (e: undefined) => {
console.log('Connected!')
});
export enum LiveEvent {
CONNECTED = "connected",
DISCONNECTED = "disconnected",
ERROR = "error",
FETCH_COMMENTS = "fetch_comments",
COMMENT = "comment",
EMOJI = "emoji"
}
