Garçon

What is it about ?

Garçon is a slack bot designed for recommending restaurants and order lunches for you from buy.am delivery service.

Capabilities

Garçon should be able to

• present available restaurants listed in buy.am
• fetch available dishes for a selected restaurant
• order selected dish/dishes
• send corresponding invocies to your teammates who placed orders

How to build Garçon

You need SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_APP_TOKEN and SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET tokens (they are confidential, most probably you should create your own app for Slack and generate them)

1. Create and add above mentioned tokens to .env file like so

SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=<YOUR_SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET>

SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=<YOUR_SLACK_BOT_TOKEN>

SLACK_APP_TOKEN=<YOUR_SLACK_APP_TOKEN>

1. Run npm install to install dependencies

2. And then run npm run start

That's it, Garçon is up and running, you can start chatting with him right away
