work in progress

template for building slack bot using slackApi

• mysql DB for bot support (add/get/remove) teams, channels and users
• Dockerfile for dev and prod environments
• using ES modules compiled to CommonJS using babel
• using localtunnel for testing bot on local environments
• vscode configuration for debugging local/container

Installation

fill all fields in the .env file. Install the dependencies and devDependencies and start the server.

$ cd slack-bot-template
$ yarn
$ yarn lt
$ yarn watch

install and deploy in a Docker container.

By default, the Docker will expose port 8080, so change this within the docker-compose if necessary. When ready, simply use the Dockerfile to build the image.

yarn docker

basic architecture diagram:

Todos

• DB tables migration and functions
• auth users and workspace
• fix docker files
• localtunnel to restart when crashing
