meteor add poetic:chatterbox
First initialize your chatbot with the Chatterbox constructor, passing a name as the only parameter.
Chatbot = new Chatterbox('Bot');
Then call listen on your new Chatbot.
Chatbot.listen(Posts, {listenTo: 'body', listenFor: /testing/, chatAs: 'author'}, (userId, post) => {
// userId and post are the same objects passed from the collection hooks package
})
Your Chatbot will now listen to the body property on every new post that is created. When the post's body passes a regex test against your listenFor argument the callback will be run.
If you'd like your Chatbot to get in on the conversation simply call chat.
Chatbot.chat(Posts, {chatAs: 'author',
message: {
// properties of your Posts collection go here
}
})
Make sure that, whether you chat or listen, always chatAs the same property, or your bot will start talking to itself. The above example will yield a post by the Chatbot that has the name Bot attached to the author property.
