lita-onewheel-xkcd

A Lita handler to display XKCD comics in your chat handler of choice.

Installation

Get a postgres instance running, give this guy access to write to the two tables in scripts/schema.rb. Add lita-onewheel-xkcd to your Lita instance's Gemfile: :: gem "lita-onewheel-xkcd"

Configuration

Unless you're running the defaults, you'll want to specify your database connection values like so: :: Lita.configure do config.handlers.onewheel_xkcd.db_host = 'localhost' config.handlers.onewheel_xkcd.db_name = 'lita_xkcd' config.handlers.onewheel_xkcd.db_user = 'root' config.handlers.onewheel_xkcd.db_pass = '' config.handlers.onewheel_xkcd.db_port = 5432 config.handlers.onewheel-xkcd.alt_delay = 15 # Optional; 9 is the default. end

Usage

All commands return the comic, and then display the alt text alt_delay seconds later.
