experiment with building a command interface into Hubot

Hubot Commands

This is a prototype for the Hubot commands proposal.

module.exports = robot => {
  const cli = require('hubot-commands')(robot)

  cli.command('cowsay <words...>', (res, words) => {
    res.send(require('cowsay').say(words.join(' ')))
  })
  .description('make the cow say words')
  .alias('c')
}

TODO:

• explicit args
  • required: deploy <branch>
  • optional: deploy <branch> [environment]
  • Variadic: deploy <branch> [hosts...]
  • coercion & regex for advanced syntax
  • default values
• subcommands: deploy list
• alias
• automated help
• listener metadata
