RoosterBot.Meta provides essential features for RoosterBot. The reason these are not built into RoosterBot is twofold:

• RoosterBot is intended not to have any features exposed to the user, only to facilitate components using its services.
• Certain provisions should be optional, as explained below.

This component provides:

• A file-based implementation of UserConfigService and ChannelConfigService. These can be disabled in the config file for this component, if you want to use another implementation.
• A module for bot managers and channel staff members to change the ChannelConfig for a channel, and a module for users to change their preferred language.
• A command that shows a list of all commands by module.
• An info command which shows the installed components and a link to the source code repository.
• An uptime command.
• A module that allows a bot manager to manually send or delete commands via the bot, shut it down, and restart it.
