defmodule Butler do
  @moduledoc ~S"""
  Butler is a life betterment robot.

  He is split into two main groups:

    * `Butler.Adapter` - adapters allow butler to communicate with other
      protocols and communications platforms.

    * `Butler.Plugin` - plugins are what empower butler. They provide an api
      to respond to specific commands and perform actions and replies.

  ## Adapters

  `Butler.Adapter` is a generic behaviour that allows Butler to support
  multiple chat platforms. There are two officialy supported adapters:

  * `Butler.Adapters.Console` - used for local development.
  * `Butler.Adapters.Slack` - for the slack chat platform.

  You can read more about developing adapters in `Butler.Adapter`.

  ## Plugins

  `Butler.Plugin` provides an api for developers to add functionality to
  Butler. Plugins listen to events emitted by Butler and can choose to respond
  or not. Here is an example plugin:

    defmodule TestCount do
      use Butler.Plugin

      def respond("test count", tests) do
        count = Enum.count(tests)
        {:reply, "The count is #{count}", tests}
      end

      def hear("test", tests) do
        {:noreply, ["test"|tests]}
      end
    end
