Canary Lifecycle

You can override several methods to hook into command handler's lifecycle. These methods start with Exec*

  • ExecOnMessageAsync runs first right after any message was received
  • ExecInputTransformAsync runs after ExecOnMessageAsync and allows you to transform the message content before the bot looks for the matching command
  • ExecPreCommandAsync runs after a command was found but not executed, allowing you to potentially prevent command execution
  • ExecPostCommandAsync runs if the command was successfully executed
  • ExecOnNoCommandAsync runs instead of ExecPostCommandAsync if no command was found for a message

Besides that, canaries have 2 methods with which you can initialize and cleanup your canary

  • InitializeAsync Runs when the marmalade which contains this canary is being loaded
  • DisposeAsync Runs when the marmalade which contains this canary is being unloaded
