Thinking of ways to make defining trigger for command easier. If you want to have a trigger that is something like you usually see, e.g. a command prefixed with !, you can use /^!command\s/ as the RegExp. It will match to messages starting with !command (note the space).

However if you want to have the command to trigger when a certain word is present in the message the RegExp becomes a bit more complex. For example triggering command when word hello is matched requires something like /(^|\s+)hello(\s+|$)/. It is more complex because we need to check if the word "hello" is at the start of a message and if not then ensure that there is space before it. The sentence also has to end right after "hello" or have a space afterwards. Without checking the start/end of sentence and spaces around the word writing e.g. "hellopa" or "alehello" would trigger the command.

Couple ideas how to solve this

• Create helpers that will construct complex RegExp for specific types of triggers, e.g. "single word".
• Change the trigger to accept different types of triggers. E.g. string could be automatically converted to more complex RegExp to match a single word.

Currently using pino and pino-pretty for logging out messages. Is there need for them in published version? Should there be a debug config to turn them on/off?

Making pino optional or finding a way to remove it completely and allow user to plug-in whatever logger they want would be great.

Not sure what to do with logs yet.
