Codychat — Addons

Addons inherit CodyChat’s early‑2010s look – plain tables, no mobile‑optimized modals. The file sharing icon is tiny on phones.

Because CodyChat handles user data, rogue addons can destroy your reputation. Follow these rules:

1. Auto-Moderation Addon

class AutoModAddon 
    constructor() 
        this.bannedWords = [];
        this.spamThreshold = 5;
        this.userMessages = new Map();
filterMessage(message, user, chatRoom) 

2. Economy System Addon

class EconomyAddon 
    constructor() 
        this.balances = new Map();
registerCommands(commandsAddon) 
    commandsAddon.registerCommand(
        name: 'balance',
        handler: (user) =>  0;
            commandsAddon.sendMessage(`💰 $user.name has $$balance`);
);
commandsAddon.registerCommand(
        name: 'daily',
        handler: (user) => 
            const reward = 100;
            const current = this.balances.get(user.id) ,
        cooldown: 86400 // 24 hours
    );

Stock CodyChat tells users "We are offline." This addon changes that. When no operators are active, it captures the user's name, email, and question, saves it to a CSV file, and sends an email alert to the support team.

You manually upload files via FTP and edit PHP arrays to enable/disable addons. No WordPress‑style “click to install”. codychat addons

A psychological trigger. This addon shows the user "Operator is typing..." and adds a blue checkmark when the message is read. This reduces user frustration and repeat questions.

Installing CodyChat addons varies by developer, but 90% follow the "Drop-in" method. Here is the standard workflow:
