Zero dependencies library for creating anything using the IRC protocol - bots, clients, you name it. It includes a variety of utilities, such as a nick list class that manages mode prefixes for you, NickServ authentication checker and message formatting (colors!).

## Getting started
There is an example usage documented in [src/examples/connection-test.ts](https://gitlab.icynet.eu/IcyNetwork/irclib/-/blob/master/src/examples/connection-test.ts), but basically you have two ways to create an IRC client connection:
1. Use the `IRCBot` class. This just takes connection options and it uses `IRCSocketConnector` (so it will not work in the browser!)
The connection options are documented in detail [here](https://lunasqu.ee/irclib/interfaces/IIRCOptions.html), but the most important are:
-`host` - Server host.
-`nick` - Your nickname.
-`port` - Server port, defaults to 6667.
-`ssl` - Use secure connection.
-`channels` - String-list of channels to join on connect.
### Connectors
This module provides two connectors: `IRCSocketConnector` for Node.js usage (`net` and `tls`) and `IRCWebSocketConnector` for browser usage (WebSockets). You can always write your own if you need something different.
**These are not included in the main module!** You need to import them from `@icynet/irclib/lib/connector/[..]`. This is to prevent browser bundlers from including `net` and `tls`!
