Ruby Slack Bot

This is my Ruby Capstone project from the Microverse curriculum.

For this project, I built a bot in Ruby that connects to the Slack API and The Movie Database API to give recommendations of movies and shows to watch.

Built With

• Ruby
• slack-ruby-bot
• celluloid-io
• dotenv

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

Prerequisites

You will need to:

• Create a Slack workspace here
• Have a Slack API Token. You can get one by creating an app here
• Have a TMDB API Key. First, register here if you don't already have an account, then follow these instructions

To complete the setup, you should have installed:

• Ruby
• Bundler

Install

• Download or clone the project

• Then to install all the dependencies run

  bundle install

Usage

To start using the bot, you'll need to create a file named .env in the root folder and paste the following inside

export SLACK_API_TOKEN=<your token>

TMDB_API_KEY=<your key>

Once you have done that you can run it by typing

bundle exec ruby bin/main.rb

After the bot is running, you can invite it to your channel
