This follows loosely from bug#73580 and bug#68265.

It's well known that a favorite pastime of ERC users is griping about
its lack of an easily exploitable API for analyzing and manipulating
message content. The current landscape is indeed regrettably sparse,
with avenues either too rough and tumble, like at the protocol handling
level, or too zoomed out and refined, like at the user options level.
The traditional go-to solution (one certainly not known for its stellar
UX) lies somewhere in between. Often called the "message insertion"
phase (by me), this somewhat nebulous and often feared limbo period
between message receipt and display is home to the infamous
`erc-insert-modify-hook' and friends, where a good many modules,
including `match', do their dirty work.

Anyone familiar with the aforementioned bug#68265 will know that it's
very much about offering access before initial formatting takes place,
meaning just prior to insertion. Another TBD bug to be opened eventually
will explore the flip side: an easier way to examine and influence a
message's fate during insertion (e.g., determining which insertion hooks
run and how their arguments and return values take shape). As mentioned,
this current bug is meant to address modification immediately after
insertion, while a message's content and format are less violently in
flux but still being finalized in the narrowed buffer.

Here's the proposed documentation:


  File: erc.info, Node: Match API, Next: Options, Prev: Module Loading,
  Up: Advanced Usage

  5.6 Match API
  =============

  This section describes the low-level ‘match’ API introduced in ERC 5.7.
  For basic, options-oriented usage, please see the doc strings for option
  ‘erc-pal-highlight-type’ and friends in the ‘erc-match’ group.
  Unfortunately, those options often prove insufficient for more granular
  filtering and highlighting needs, and advanced users eventually outgrow
  them.  However, under the hood, those options all use the same
  foundational ‘erc-match’ API, which centers around a ‘cl-defstruct’
  “type” of the same name:

   -- Struct: erc-match predicate spkr-beg spkr-end body-beg sender nick
            command handler

       This is a ‘cl-struct’ type that contains some handy facts about the
       message being processed.  That message's formatted body occupies
       the narrowed buffer when ERC creates and provides access to each
       ‘erc-match’ instance.  To use this interface, you add a
       “constructor”-like function to the list ‘erc-match-types’:

        -- User Option: erc-match-types

            A hook-like list of functions, where each accepts the
            parameters named above as an ‘&rest’-style plist and returns a
            new ‘erc-match’ instance.  A function can also be a
            traditional ‘cl-defstruct’-provided constructor belonging to a
            “subtype” you've defined.

       The only slot you definitely need to specify is ‘predicate’.  Both
       it and ‘handler’ are functions that take a single argument: the
       instance itself.  As its name implies, ‘predicate’ must return
       non-‘nil’ if ‘handler’, whose return value ERC ignores, should run.

       A few slots, like ‘spkr-beg’, ‘spkr-end’, and ‘nick’, may surprise
       you.  The first two are ‘nil’ for non-chat messages, like those
       displayed for ‘JOIN’ events.  The ‘nick’ slot can likewise be ‘nil’
       if the sender of the message is a domain-style host name, such as
       ‘irc.example.org’, which it often is for informational messages,
       like ‘*** #chan was created on 2023-12-26 00:36:42’.

       To locate the start of the just-inserted message, use ‘body-beg’, a
       marker indicating the beginning of the message proper.  Don't
       forget: all inserted messages include a trailing newline.  If you
       want to extract just the message body's text, use the function
       ‘erc-match-get-message-body’:

        -- Function: erc-match-get-message-body match

            Takes an ‘erc-match’ instance and returns a string containing
            the message body, sans trailing newline and any leading
            speaker or decorative component, such as ‘erc-notice-prefix’.

  Although module authors may want to subclass this struct, everyday users
  can just instantiate it directly (it's “concrete”).  This is especially
  handy for one-off tasks or simple customizations in your ‘init.el’.  To
  do this, define a function that invokes its constructor:

       (require 'erc-match)

       (defvar my-mentions 0)

       (defun my-match (&rest plist)
         (apply #'erc-match
                :predicate (lambda (_) (search-forward "my-project" nil t))
                :handler (lambda (_) (cl-incf my-mentions))
                plist))

       (setopt erc-match-types (add-to-list 'erc-match-types #'my-match)
               erc-prompt (lambda () (format "%d!" my-mentions)))

  Here, the user could just as well shove the incrementer into the
  ‘predicate’ body, since ‘handler’ is set to ‘ignore’ by default
  (however, some frown at the notion of a predicate exhibiting side
  effects).  Likewise, the user could also choose to concentrate only on
  chat content by filtering out non-‘PRIVMSG’ messages via the slot
  ‘command’.

     For a detailed example showing how to use this API for more involved
  matching that doesn't involve highlighting, see the ‘notifications’
  module, which lives in ‘erc-desktop-notifications.el’.  Ignore the parts
  that involve adapting the global setup (and teardown) business to a
  buffer-local context.  Since your module is declared ‘local’, as per the
  modern convention, you won't be needing such code, so feel free to use
  utility functions like ‘erc-match-add-local-type’ directly in your
  module's definition.

  5.6.1 Highlighting
  ------------------

  Third-party modules likely want to manage and apply faces themselves.
  However, in a pinch you can just piggyback atop the highlighting
  functionality already provided by ‘match’ to support its many high-level
  options.

       (require 'erc-match)

       (defvar my-keywords
         `((foonet ("#chan" ,(rx bow (or "foo" "bar" "baz") eow)))))

       (defface my-face
         '((t (:inherit font-lock-constant-face :weight bold)))
         "My face.")

       (defun my-match (&rest plist)
         (apply #'erc-match-opt-keyword
                :data (and-let* ((chans (alist-get (erc-network) my-keywords))
                                 ((cdr (assoc (erc-target) chans)))))
                :face 'my-face
                plist))

       (setopt erc-match-types (add-to-list 'erc-match-types #'my-match))

  Here, the user leverages a handy subtype of ‘erc-match’, called
  ‘erc-match-opt-keyword’, which actually descends directly from another,
  intermediate ‘erc-match’ type:

   -- Struct: erc-match-traditional category face data part

       Use this type or one of its descendants (see below) if you want
       ‘erc-text-matched-hook’ to run alongside (after) the ‘handler’
       slot's default highlighter, ‘erc-match-highlight’, on every match
       for which the ‘category’ slot's value is non-‘nil’ (it becomes the
       argument provided for the hook's MATCH-TYPE parameter).

       Much more important, however, is ‘part’.  This slot determines what
       portion of the message is being highlighted or otherwise operated
       on.  It can be any symbol, but the ones with predefined methods are
       ‘nick’, ‘message’, ‘all’, ‘keyword’, ‘nick-or-keyword’, and
       ‘nick-or-mention’.

       The default handler, ‘erc-match-highlight’, does its work by
       deferring to a purpose-built “method” meant to handle ‘part’-based
       highlighting:

        -- Method on erc-match-traditional: erc-match-highlight-by-part
                 instance part

            You can override this method by “specializing” on any
            subclassed ‘erc-match-traditional’ type and/or non-reserved
            PART, such as one known only to your ‘init.el’ or (informally)
            associated with your package by its library “namespace”.

  You likely won't be needing these, but for the sake of completeness,
  other options-based types similar to ‘erc-match-opt-keyword’ include
  ‘erc-match-opt-current-nick’, ‘erc-match-opt-fool’, ‘erc-match-opt-pal’,
  and ‘erc-match-opt-dangerous-host’.  (If you're familiar with this
  module's user options, you'll notice some parallels here.)

     And, finally, here's a more elaborate, module-like example demoing
  highlighting based on the ‘erc-match-traditional’ type:

       ;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

       (require 'erc-match)
       (require 'erc-button)

       (defvar my-keywords
         `((foonet ("#chan" ,(rx bow (or "foo" "bar" "baz") eow)))))

       (defface my-keyword '((t (:underline (:color "tomato" :style wave))))
         "My face.")

       (defun my-get-keyword ()
         (and-let* ((chans (alist-get (erc-network) my-keywords))
                    ((cdr (assoc (erc-target) chans))))))

       (cl-defstruct (my-match (:include erc-match-opt-keyword
                                         (part 'keyword)
                                         (data (my-get-keyword))
                                         (face 'my-keyword))
                               (:constructor my-match)))

       (setopt erc-match-types (add-to-list 'erc-match-types #'my-match))

       (cl-defmethod erc-match-highlight-by-part ((instance my-match)
                                                  (_ (eql keyword)))
         "Highlight keywords by merging instead of clobbering."
         (dolist (pat (my-match-data instance))
           (goto-char (my-match-body-beg instance))
           (while (re-search-forward pat nil t)
             (erc-button-add-face (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)
                                  (my-match-face instance)))))

  (Note that in the method body, you _could_ technically skip to the
  beginning of the last match for the first go around because the match
  data from the ‘predicate’ is still fresh.)


Some canned Q&As:

1. ERC is already famously bogged down by ill-conceived contracts, why
   add another?

   This isn't just some new feature. It's a revamping and refactoring of
   the `match' library that exposes much needed foundational seams to
   users while encapsulating some compat-related business and other
   unruly minutiae, such as text-property twiddling. It also includes a
   partial refactoring of the `notifications' module (housed in
   erc-desktop-notifications.el) that makes heavy use of this new API
   and thus serves as a reference implementation for certain flavors of
   non-highlight-centric matching.

   But TBF, the "extensibility focused" bit from this bug's subject line
   is somewhat of a stretch. In reality, such extensibility is merely a
   knock-on effect of bending over backward to prioritize compatibility.
   But that doesn't mean it can't also help tamp down on contracts
   proliferation in ERC. For those unfamiliar, users often rightly call
   for some existing option to be expanded or spun off into a variant
   more attuned to a specific context: e.g., option erc-foo needs to be
   network/channel/nickname aware. One way to push back on such demands
   is to point to a not-too-painful existing workaround.

2. Why not combine the predicate and handler slots of match objects?

   We certainly could (and very well still might), in which case this
   would end up looking more like a traditional hook arrangement. The
   original idea was to promote code reuse and separation of concerns by
   enforcing a bit of structure. However, it's certainly true that hook
   members could just as easily perform the predicate and handler logic
   themselves.
   
3. Why the separate message-body getter instead of a dedicated slot?

   To retain that state in match objects would mean having to update it
   between handler runs because users are invited to modify the text.
   (This will be mentioned in a code comment.)

4. Why not EIEIO?

   While such a move might help "consumers" of the API to some degree,
   the expanded feature set won't really have the same impact on
   implementation and upkeep of the library. And though ERC does
   currently pull in dependencies that in turn require EIEIO, that may
   not always be so.

(Note that while the attached patches target ERC 5.7, they don't include
changes to bump the version, etc.)

For anyone interested in this bug, feedback of any form is always
welcome.

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [5.7] Use speaker/prefix-end marker in ERC insertion
 hooks

* lisp/erc/erc-fill.el (erc-fill-wrap): Use `erc--offset-marker' instead
of heuristics for finding the beginning of the message proper.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc--send-action-display): Use
`erc--ensure-offset-prop'.
(erc--ensure-offset-prop): New function.  Only works for
`erc--message-speaker-catalog' entries, which all (currently) end in
"%m".  If any were to gain a "footer" component after their "%m", this
would need to be modified, possibly to require an extra `catalog-key'
parameter that could then be queried at runtime for a symbol property
specifying the footer length as a negative offset.
(erc--add-msg-prop): New function.
(erc--offset-marker): New variable.
(erc--with-offset-marker): New macro.
(erc-insert-line): Run insertion hooks in `erc--with-offset-marker'.
(erc--determine-speaker-message-format-args)
(erc--format-speaker-input-message)
(erc-ctcp-query-ACTION): Use `erc--ensure-offset-prop'.  In the latter,
don't set statusmsg "%s" to the target name.
(erc-make-notice): Set `erc--offset' msg prop to the length of the
`erc--notice-prefix', which includes a trailing space.  Don't do the
same for the fallback case of `erc-display-message-highlight' because
some format specs contain leading characters that are basically analogs
of `erc-notice-prefix'.  Examining each prematurely to formulate a guess
that may never be used is wasteful, and just going with 0 would
sometimes be wrong or destructive, such as on subsequent passes for
"compound" `erc-display-message' type parameters specified by
`erc-display-error-notice', etc.
(erc-display-msg): Run send hooks in `erc--with-offset-marker'.

+
+@node Match API
+@section Match API
+@cindex low-level match
+
+This section describes the low-level @samp{match} @acronym{API}
+introduced in ERC 5.7.  For basic, options-oriented usage, please see
+the doc strings for option @code{erc-pal-highlight-type} and friends in
+the @code{erc-match} group.  Unfortunately, those options often prove
+insufficient for more granular filtering and highlighting needs, and
+advanced users eventually outgrow them.  However, under the hood, those
+options all use the same foundational @code{erc-match} API, which
+centers around a @code{cl-defstruct} @dfn{type} of the same name:
+
+@deftp {Struct} erc-match @
+  predicate spkr-beg spkr-end body-beg sender nick command handler
+
+  This is a @code{cl-struct} type that contains some handy facts about
+  the message being processed.  That message's formatted body occupies
+  the narrowed buffer when ERC creates and provides access to each
+  @code{erc-match} instance.  To use this interface, you add a
+  @dfn{constructor}-like function to the list @code{erc-match-types}:
+
+  @defopt erc-match-types
+
+  A hook-like list of functions, where each accepts the parameters named
+  above as an @samp{&rest}-style plist and returns a new
+  @code{erc-match} instance.  A function can also be a traditional
+  @code{cl-defstruct}-provided constructor belonging to a @dfn{subtype}
+  you've defined.
+
+  @end defopt
+
+  The only slot you definitely need to specify is @samp{predicate}.
+  Both it and @samp{handler} are functions that take a single argument:
+  the instance itself.  As its name implies, @samp{predicate} must
+  return non-@code{nil} if @samp{handler}, whose return value ERC
+  ignores, should run.
+
+  A few slots, like @samp{spkr-beg}, @samp{spkr-end}, and @samp{nick},
+  may surprise you.  The first two are @code{nil} for non-chat messages,
+  like those displayed for @samp{JOIN} events.  The @samp{nick} slot can
+  likewise be @code{nil} if the sender of the message is a domain-style
+  host name, such as @samp{irc.example.org}, which it often is for
+  informational messages, like @samp{*** #chan was created on 2023-12-26
+  00:36:42}.
+
+  To locate the start of the just-inserted message, use @samp{body-beg},
+  a marker indicating the beginning of the message proper.  Don't
+  forget: all inserted messages include a trailing newline.  If you want
+  to extract just the message body's text, use the function
+  @code{erc-match-get-message-body}:
+
+  @defun erc-match-get-message-body match
+
+  Takes an @code{erc-match} instance and returns a string containing the
+  message body, sans trailing newline and any leading speaker or
+  decorative component, such as @code{erc-notice-prefix}.
+
+  @end defun
+
+@end deftp
+
+@noindent
+Although module authors may want to subclass this struct, everyday users
+can just instantiate it directly (it's @dfn{concrete}).  This is
+especially handy for one-off tasks or simple customizations in your
+@file{init.el}.  To do this, define a function that invokes its
+constructor:
+
+@lisp
+(require 'erc-match)
+
+(defvar my-mentions 0)
+
+(defun my-match (&rest plist)
+  (apply #'erc-match
+         :predicate (lambda (_) (search-forward "my-project" nil t))
+         :handler (lambda (_) (cl-incf my-mentions))
+         plist))
+
+(setopt erc-match-types (add-to-list 'erc-match-types #'my-match)
+        erc-prompt (lambda () (format "%d!" my-mentions)))
+@end lisp
+
+@noindent
+Here, the user could just as well shove the incrementer into the
+@samp{predicate} body, since @samp{handler} is set to @code{ignore} by
+default (however, some frown at the notion of a predicate exhibiting
+side effects).  Likewise, the user could also choose to concentrate only
+on chat content by filtering out non-@samp{PRIVMSG} messages via the
+slot @samp{command}.
+
+For a detailed example showing how to use this API for more involved
+matching that doesn't involve highlighting, see the @samp{notifications}
+module, which lives in @file{erc-desktop-notifications.el}.  Ignore the
+parts that involve adapting the global setup (and teardown) business to
+a buffer-local context.  Since your module is declared @code{local}, as
+per the modern convention, you won't be needing such code, so feel free
+to use utility functions like @code{erc-match-add-local-type} directly
+in your module's definition.
+
+@anchor{highlighting}
+@subsection Highlighting
+@cindex highlighting
+
+Third-party modules likely want to manage and apply faces themselves.
+However, in a pinch you can just piggyback atop the highlighting
+functionality already provided by @samp{match} to support its many
+high-level options.
+
+@lisp
+(require 'erc-match)
+
+(defvar my-keywords
+  `((foonet ("#chan" ,(rx bow (or "foo" "bar" "baz") eow)))))
+
+(defface my-face
+  '((t (:inherit font-lock-constant-face :weight bold)))
+  "My face.")
+
+(defun my-match (&rest plist)
+  (apply #'erc-match-opt-keyword
+         :data (and-let* ((chans (alist-get (erc-network) my-keywords))
+                          ((cdr (assoc (erc-target) chans)))))
+         :face 'my-face
+         plist))
+
+(setopt erc-match-types (add-to-list 'erc-match-types #'my-match))
+@end lisp
+
+@noindent
+Here, the user leverages a handy subtype of @code{erc-match}, called
+@code{erc-match-opt-keyword}, which actually descends directly from
+another, intermediate @code{erc-match} type:
+
+@deftp {Struct} erc-match-traditional category face data part
+
+Use this type or one of its descendants (see below) if you want
+@code{erc-text-matched-hook} to run alongside (after) the @samp{handler}
+slot's default highlighter, @code{erc-match-highlight}, on every match
+for which the @samp{category} slot's value is non-@code{nil} (it becomes
+the argument provided for the hook's @var{match-type} parameter).
+
+Much more important, however, is @samp{part}.  This slot determines what
+portion of the message is being highlighted or otherwise operated on.
+It can be any symbol, but the ones with predefined methods are
+@code{nick}, @code{message}, @code{all}, @code{keyword},
+@code{nick-or-keyword}, and @code{nick-or-mention}.
+
+The default handler, @code{erc-match-highlight}, does its work by
+deferring to a purpose-built @dfn{method} meant to handle
+@samp{part}-based highlighting:
+
+@defop {Method} erc-match-traditional erc-match-highlight-by-part @
+  instance part
+

+\f
+* Changes in ERC 5.7
+
+** An extensibility focused 'match' API.
+Users have often expressed frustration over ERC's lack of a simple API
+for matching, highlighting, and filtering based on a message's content
+and metadata, like the sender or associated IRC command.  While it's
+true that discussions have been ongoing for a more powerful message
+formatting and construction API that will hopefully one day offer access
+to the various parts of a message before they're assembled, users will
+be needing something practical and effective in the interim.  Enter the
+'erc-match-type' API, which is based on a simple hook-like handler
+system.  You subscribe by enrolling a function that takes a special
+'erc-match-type' object with useful fields to help with matching,
+filtering, and applying faces.  See Info node 'Match API' to find out
+more.
+
+** Opt out of desktop notifications from the active buffer.
+Option 'erc-notifications-focused-contexts' can help spare you from
+seeing desktop alerts for messages you're reading or those inserted
+while you're typing.
+
