account="api.mt"
channel="api"
```

## Modmakers
API: Overwrite these function in your chat mod, if you want to handle messages yourself
Don't forget to add an optional dependency to yl_matterbridge
Overwrite this function to receive something from the bridge
```
function yl_matterbridge.receive_from_bridge(user_name, message_text)
core.chat_send_all("<" .. user_name .. "@irc> " .. message_text)
end
```
Overwrite this function instead if you want to use other fields coming from the bridge.
```
function yl_matterbridge.receive_all_from_bridge(dataset)
if dataset.username and dataset.text and dataset.account then
local user_name = dataset.username
local message_text = dataset.text
local account_name = dataset.account
yl_matterbridge.receive_from_bridge(user_name, message_text, account_name)
else
core.log(
"error",
"[MOD] yl_matterbridge: receive/http.fetch failed. No dataset in returned data = " .. dump(dataset)
)
end
end
```
Call this function to send something to the bridge
```
function yl_matterbridge.send_to_bridge(user_name, message_text)
send(user_name, message_text)
end
```
Set this function to yl_matterbridge.chat_message = function() end if you call yl_matterbridge.send_to_bridge yourself
```
function yl_matterbridge.chat_message(user_name, message_text)
send_to_bridge(user_name, message_text)
end
```
