nnnslackbot - A slackbot for the neuralnexus slack team

A slackbot that uses the guildwars 2 API to provide some functionality to the neuralnexus slack team. Provides base ingredients, item nomenclature, some fun reply bots and more!

Installation

Check out nnnslackbot directly from Git.

git clone git@github.com/roj42/nnnslackbot.git

Then in the checkout directory, install nnnslackbot's dependencies

bash
npm install

Setup

nnnslackbot expects a slackbot token as an environment variable called 'token'. Slackbot tokens can be setup in the Custom Integrations section of your Slack Team's settings: https://YOUR_SLACK_TEAM_NAME.slack.com/apps/manage/custom-integrations

Documentation from Slack is here: https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations

Note that the bot's name will be whatever you call it in custom integrations. The bot will automatically connect but must be invited into channels aside from the default channel you set up in custom integrations.

Note! Lessdremoth uses some custom emoji. I may remove them if the bot gets at all popular. In the meantime, consider adding custom emoji with these names to your slack channel: hello, eyebulge, facepalm, gir, coollink, frasier, butt, gary_busey, fu, bustin

Usage

Say 'help' in a channel with nnnslackbot for a list of commands, and help 'command' for specific command help.

help deaths

nnnslackbot can save guild wars 2 access tokens to fetch account-specific data. Tell nnnslackbot 'access token help' for steps.

Run with Node

To launch slackbot from a command line you need node installed, and need to set your slackbot token as an environment variable.

bash
set token=YOUR_SLACKBOT_TOKEN

Then simply point node at main.js

(from nnnslackbot's directory)

bash
node ./main.js

Standard out will show (hopefully) helpful log messages whenever nnnslackbot is doing something. Save this output when submitting bugs.

Containerized Service

To launch nnnslackbot as a Docker containerized service, execute the following commands on your command line. We recommend nesting these steps under a subdirectory so nnnslackbot and its data can be isolated. Something as simple as this is sufficient:

mkdir lessy
cd lessy

Remember that this requires Docker, and it must be installed and started independently before running these commands.

git clone git@github.com/roj42/nnnslackbot.git
mkdir data
export SLACKTOKEN=<get the current active slack token from custom integrations>
export INSTALL_DIR=<absolute path to git clone location>
bash $INSTALL_DIR/nnnslackbot/launch.sh

Thanks for trying out nnnslackbot. Please email the author with questions or submit issues/feature requests/general insults as issues in git and they will be seen in short order.
