GérardBot!

Hey! This is a very simple Slack bot based on the excellent slackbots library allowing you to easily add your own services.

---

Installation

1. Download and install the latest Node.js version
2. Clone the repository git clone git@github.com:Karhal/gerardbot.git
3. Enter the repository cd ~/gerardbot
4. Install: npm install

Configuration

You'll need a Slack token (https://my.slack.com/services/new/bot) and a bot name. Please check the config.example.js file.

Create a module

The real advantage of Gérardbot is that you can easily create your own modules which will be plugged to you original bot. Let's create a simple HelloWorld module as an example :

lib/modules/helloworld/helloworld.js

var util = require('util');
var config = require('./config.js');
var Module = require('./../../../bin/module.js');

var Helloworld = function Constructor(bot) {
    this.bot = bot;
    this.data = null;
    this.keyWords = config.keywords;
};
util.inherits(Helloworld, Module);

Helloworld.prototype.getAnswer = function() {
      this.bot.postMessage(this.data.channel, 'Hello world!', this.bot.params);
};

---

lib/modules/helloworld/config.js

var config = {};   
config.keywords = ['hello', 'bonjour'];   
module.exports = config;

That's it !

Usage

1. Run your application : node bin/bot.js
2. Connect to your slack
3. Invite your bot in the channel you want: /invite @yourbot
4. Say @yourbot hello !
5. Enjoy

Imgur Module example

lib/modules/imgur/config.js

var config = {};

config.keywords = ['montre moi des', 'sors nous une photo de'];
config.imgurAuth = 'Client-ID xxxxxxxxxxx';

config.subs = {
    'chiens': 'dogs',
    'chat': 'cats',
    'paresseux': 'sloths',
}

module.exports = config;

Restaurant Module example

lib/modules/restaurant/config.js

var config = {};

config.myplace = '50.654809,3.071461';
config.googlemaps_api_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
config.radius = 1000;
config.keywords = ['on mange ou', 'on mange où'];
module.exports = config;
