irc-prefix-parser

Parse IRC message prefixes

Installation

npm install irc-prefix-parser

Usage

The parser takes a string and returns an object with:

• raw - original prefix
• isServer - boolean indicating whether or not the prefix is a server. If false, the prefix is a user.
• nick, user and host

var parse = require('irc-prefix-parser')

console.log(parse('foobar.freenode.net'))
/* {
 *   raw: 'foobar.freenode.net',
 *   isServer: true,
 *   nick: null
 *   user: null
 *   host: 'foobar.freenode.net'
 * }
 */

console.log(parse('jamie!weechat@127.0.0.1'))
/* {
 *   raw: 'jamie!weechat@127.0.0.1',
 *   isServer: false,
 *   nick: 'jamie',
 *   user: 'weechat',
 *   host: '127.0.0.1'
 * }
