HipChat Code Snippets

Technology Stack

• Express 4
• Redis
• Babel
• Rollup

How it Works

When in a chatroom that has the integration installed, users can select the Post Code Snippet action. When the user chooses to Post Snippet, the following happens:

1. The code is used to create a private GitHub Gist
2. A notification in the chatroom is sent, notifying users of the new snippet
3. Users can click on the notification, which will open a modal with the contents of the private Gist
