Check if channel is in emote only chat?

Hey,

Is it possible to check if a channel is in emote only mode?

Thanks!

There's an emoteonly event that you can use:

client.on('emoteonly', (channel, enabled) => {
	console.log(`[${channel}] Emote-only mode ${enabled ? 'enabled' : 'disabled'}`);
});

The roomstate event will tell you all of the room states and update with changes over time. Twitch Docs. Here's how you could track it:

const roomstate = new Map();
client.on('roomstate', (channel, state) => {
	if(roomstate.has(channel)) {
		const rs = roomstate.get(channel);
		Object.assign(rs, state);
	}
	else {
		roomstate.set(channel, state);
	}
});
client.on('part', (channel, username, self) => {
	if(self) {
		roomstate.delete(channel);
	}
});

Then later just check the map to know if it's in emote-only mode, or any of the other state types.

const channel = '#alca';
if(roomstate.has(channel)) {
	const rs = roomstate.get(channel);
	// "In #alca emote-only is disabled"
	console.log(`In ${channel} emote-only is ${rs['emote-only'] ? 'enabled' : 'disabled'}`);
}

Thanks but is it possible to check in a if?

Example:
if(emote only chat enabled){ do something }

Thanks

Sure, just put the building blocks I've given you together with what you already know.

const channel = '#alca';
const isEmoteOnly = roomstate.has(channel) && roomstate.get(channel)['emote-only'];
if(isEmoteOnly) {
	console.log('The channel is in emote-only mode');
}
else {
	console.log('The channel is NOT in emote-only mode');
}

Works perfectly. Thank you!
