Running

After cloning this repository, you'll have to add a .env file to the root project directory with the following variables set:

FB_TOKEN=<facebook access token>
SOCIAL_HOOK=<slack webhook url>
RADIO_HOOK=<slack webhook url>
DO_SPACES_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key_id>
DO_SPACES_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<access_key>

You will also have to add a config.json file to the root project directory:

{
    "record": {
        "task": true,
        "now": false,
        "crontab": ["57 9 * * 2", "57 9 * * 5"]
    },
    "dailySocial": {
        "task": false,
        "now": false,
        "crontab": ["0 11 * * *"]
    },
    "weeklySocial": {
        "task": false,
        "now": false,
        "crontab": ["0 11 7 * 1"]
    }
}

The configuration file declares what features should run when the server starts. All features are implicitly disabled by default. You must explicitly enable them in the configuration file.

Create an output folder in the root project directory to hold recordings.

Finally, to be able to run the application, you'll have to install dependencies and transpile the source files:

1. npm install to install project dependencies
2. npm start to transpile the source files and start the application
