Input-box for messages

Chat and IRC
1

Hello developers,

I’ve tried to make my own input-box for chat-messages and a button to send the messages to a spefic channel. I’ve tried to embed it into my homepage for almost a week nos but I’m not able to make it work.
I have created a button and an input-field but I really don’t now how I can use the onclick-event of the button in that way, that it sends the text from the textfield to the chatroom.
I’ve kinda read the API but I’m really not that deep into js to completly understand it.
Is anyone out there who could provide me a working example so I can get in my head how it works? It would be great!

Are you using the chat embed? That should include everything you need.

Kinda. Problem is that I wanted to change the color of the embeded chat but thats not possible in that way.
So I build myself a frame where I display the messages of the stream but it doesnt have an input-box.

Sending a message to chat will require that a user be logged in, that you’re connected to IRC, and that you can send the message to the IRC server. You could use the community-created TMI.js library to help with some of this. :slight_smile:
