Extending Gord via the scripting interface
Gord has a very basic scripting interface that exposes predefined events and offers some globally callable functions.
Scripts can simply be dumped into the subfolder scripts of the gord
configuration folder. Every file ending on .js will be parsed as a
cordless script. Whether the file is in a subdirectory or not, doesn't
matter at all.
Scripts are running synchronized. There can't be two calls to one script at the same time, since scripts can contain global state. A script only gets called on a specific event if it actually contains the given callback for that event.
A simple example can be found here: Kaomoji
If a function is marked with UNSTABLE API, that means the return values or even parameters might change at a later point in time.
The init callback is a special callback that will only be called once
and then be removed from the scripting engine. Therefore you can't ever
manually call this method, as it will result in an undefined method
error. The method takes no parameters and doesn't return anything.
It can be used in order to set up the global state of your script. This
is useful, as it will avoid having to always write lazy initialization
code or even keep repeating certain things every time a callback has
been executed.
Gets called as soon as the cordless user submits a message for sending and allows for manipulating the message to be sent.

Return value
The return value is going to be a string that is the content of the message that the user sent to the channel.
