Before all, you need to config the API options from Twitch and Giphy.

Create a environment variables file (.env) indentical to file example and modify the informations according to the values below:

• TWITCH_USERNAME, your username or your bot's
• TWITCH_TOKEN, you can get from https://twitchapps.com/tmi/
• TWITCH_CHAT_CHANNEL, normally is the same as your username
• GIPHY_RATING, accept only the values 'y' | 'g' | 'pg' | 'pg-13' | 'r'
• GIPHY_TOKEN, you can get from https://developers.giphy.com/

With this config, when the chatbot be implemented on a service like aws, netlify or other plataform, it will be only necessary to define this values on the plataform.

To customize the exhibition, go to file client/index.html and search for:

• It's not necessary to provide all the options, because they all have a default value

<script>
  window.addEventListener("load", () => {
    const options = {
      duration_default: 4, // Optional: value in seconds (default value is 4)
      duration_sub: 8, // Optional: value in seconds to subs (default value is 8)
      max_queue: 10, // Optional: quantidade máxima de gifs na fila (default value is 10)
      separator: ":", // Optional: separator between the user and the message (default value is :)
    };
    const twitch_giphy = new TwitchGiphy(options);
  });
</script>
