Always matcher
Configuring opsdroid
The always
matcher parses every message as it is always running. So it need not be configured explicitly.
The always
matcher is a special case which simply always matches a skill to every single message that passes through opsdroid.
When a message is parsed all skills are ranked by the parsers in order of how confident they are that the message is a match, and then the highest ranking skill is executed. The always
matcher is useful if you are wanting to do something like keep track of the last time someone spoke, so you need the skill to execute on every message and you will never directly respond to a message.
Example
from opsdroid.skill import Skill
from opsdroid.matchers import match_always
class TrackingSkill(Skill):
@match_always
async def keep_track(self, message):
# Put message.user into a database along with a timestamp
