Making a tutorial / howto regarding adapters

[ghost]

As asked on Twitter, I'm opening this issue. This will also help me clarify what I mean by "a tutorial".

Although the API is quite small, perhaps the authors of the official adapters could write a document about the preferred architecture of an adapter and the best practices (OTP applications, helpful 3rd-party libraries, etc).
ping @scrogson :)

@ghost have you got anywhere with this?
I was trying to find some kind of documentation about adapters so we can write our own and maybe contribute to the "adapters ecosystem" of Hedwig.

But so far no luck ;(

This is definitely on my radar. But it may be something I will tackle for 2.0 as the Adapter API may change in the future.

At the moment, you could have a look at the Slack and XMPP adapters as examples.

The current adapter behaviour is very small but I agree it isn't documented properly.

@scrogson Thanks for the quick response!
I'll keep an eye for it then!!

And again thank you for the good work on Hedwig!

I'm in the process of writing an adapter for Hedwig. Should we use the Wiki for now to document the process? I can add notes as I go.

@sntran feel free to create a wiki page.

Debugging https://github.com/fire/hedwig_discord 's inability to reply to messages and was wondering if the logic for replying to responses is described anywhere?
