slack-microbots

Slack-microbots allows you to split one Slackbot into many little and simple 'microbots'. This is ideal for a team that uses several bots, but doesn't want to setup/code the infrastructure for each. If you user Heroku and setup automatic deploys via Github, you could even code a new bot entirely in the browser and deploy it!

* Handles all authentication and communication with Slack. Just provide it with a Bot Token
* Has a useful logbot which acts like console.log but prints messages to a #diagnostics channel on your team
* Each microbot has an incredibly simple structure, and the framework provides easy-to-parse, processed information about messages and your team
* Provides a syncronous and scoped Redis storage solution for each microbot
* Provides useful message parsing utilities for microbots
* Slash command support

``javascript
const Storage = require('slack-microbots/storage');
const console = require('slack-microbots/logbot');
const utils = require('slack-microbots/utils');

module.exports = {
name : 'fancybot',
icon : ':tophat:',
channel : '*',
handle : function(msg, info, Slack){
if(info.user == 'scott'){
Slack.react('thumbsup');
}
if(utils.messageHas(msg, ['fancybot', 'fancypants'])){
Slack.reply('You rang? :tophat:');
}
}
}
`

In your server.js, add this following bit of code

`javascript
//Boot up helperbot
require('helperbot')({
expressApp : app,
diagnosticsWebhook : DIAGNOSTICS_WEBHOOK,
local : !IS_PRODUCTION,
debug : true,

cmdList : ['path/tocmd.js'],
botList : ['path/to/bot.js],

botInfo : {
icon : ':tophat:',
name : 'higgins',
token : SLACK_BOT_TOKEN
}
});
`

Design your micro-bots in the following way

`javascript

module.exports = {
listenFor : ['message'],
response : function(msg, info, HelperBot){
if(info.user == 'john'){
HelperBot.reply('Hello John!');
HelperBot.react('joy');
}
}
}
`

Logbot is a logging bot that messages to your #diagnostics channel on your slack. Use it just like you would use console`.
