hubot-rpc-gen

Generate Chatops RPC compatible servers for Hubot and more! Compatible with Express v4.

Installation

``
npm install [--save] hubot-rpc-gen
`

Usage

Assuming you already have an express server:

`javascript
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
`

you can add a CRPC endpoint easily! For example, to mount the endpoint at /_chatops with the namespace 'mynamespace':

`javascript
const crpc = require('hubot-rpc-gen')
const endpoint = crpc.endpoint(app, 'mynamespace', '/_chatops')
`

You can then add methods using the method method:

`javascript
endpoint.method('name', {
help: 'An optional help message',
regex: 'command regex (?.+)',
params: ['option']
}, ({user, method, params, room_id}, respond) => {
respond(User ${user} asked for method ${method} with option ${params.option} in ${room_id})
})
`

If you want to provide more advanced options, like title and color in the response, pass them as a second option to respond:

`javascript
rpc.method('github-lookup', {
help: 'github me - link to a GitHub user',
regex: 'github me (?.+)',
params: ['query', 'color']
}, ({user, method, params, room_id}, respond) => {
respond(https://github.com/${params.query},, {
title: params.query,
title_link: https://github.com/${params.query},
image_url: https://github.com/${params.query}.png,
color: '0000ff'
})
})
