Epicbot

Epicbot is a slack bot written in Haskell. It allows you to search for cards from the Epic Card Game and display the results in your slack channel.

To search for a card, simply type some or all of its name. Epicbot will perform a full text search to find the correct card.

/epic <search term>

You can also generate an example random dark draft draw using the draft command.

/epic draft

Deploying

stack --docker build

This builds the epicbot-exe executable on the docker container referenced in stack.yaml. If you're deploying to an environment different than debian, feel free to change this image.

To find the location of the executable you build, run the following:

stack --docker exec -- which epicbot-exe

Now, run the executable.

EPICBOT_ONLINE=1 EPICBOT_SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=<your slack signing secret> /path/to/epicbot-exe

Once you have your bot running, you'll want to follow the guide for creating a slash command to use the bot. We recommend using /epic as your slash command.
