iannuttall events
use events to wake yourself up from background scripts or external triggers.
emit an event
always include --chat-id <id> using the chat_id from your current session.
bun bob event --chat-id <id> "task_done" '{"result": "..."}' - signal success
bun bob event --chat-id <id> "task_failed" '{"error": "..."}' - signal failure
bun bob event --chat-id <id> "custom_event" '{"data": "..."}' - any custom event
in scripts
when writing scripts, hardcode the chat_id so it knows where to send the event.
const CHAT_ID = 123456; // from current session
try {
const result = await doSomething();
await $`bun bob event --chat-id ${CHAT_ID} "task_done" '{"result": "${result}"}'`;
} catch (err) {
await $`bun bob event --chat-id ${CHAT_ID} "task_failed" '{"error": "${err.message}"}'`;
}
