Botkit bot

This is the demo for the NodeMN presentation.

To run this project first you need to create a bot user in slack.

https://[YOUR TEAM NAME].slack.com/services/new/bot

Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed in your computer.

Docker install

Docker Compose install

---

Clone the repository and run:

$ cd botkit-bot/

$ docker-compose build

$ docker-compose up -d

After these is done you should have a docker service running in the background.

You can verify that it's running by running:

$ docker-compose ps

And should output:

Name          Command     State    Ports
---------------------------------------------
botkitbot_web_1   sleep 9999   Exit 0

Connect to your service:

$ docker-compose run web /bin/bash

You should be able to get a shell with your code included.

You can run an ls to verify.

You are going to need a .env file at the root of the project that looks like this:

NODE_ENV=DEV  // this could be PROD too
SLACK_TOKEN_ID= [your slack bot token id]
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID= [Twilio account id]
TWILIO_API_KEY= [Twilio SMS api key]
TWILIO_API_SECRET= [Twilio SMS api secret]
FROM_NUMBER=[phone] // numbers registered with Twilio
TO_NUMBER=[phone]

These are environment variables propagated in your docker image.

Run the code:

$ npm install

$ npm start
