Getting Setup

Here are some basic notes to get this bot built, deployed and integrated into your HipChat room.
It will create a full API pipeline in AWS, with seperate test and stable endpoints, each with their own datastore in DynamoDB.

Prerequisites

• AWS account with access to IAM, API Gateway, Lambda and DynamoDB
• Node.js 6.10
• NPM
• Yarn
• Caludia JS - https://claudiajs.com/tutorials/installing.html
  Ensure you setup an AWS key and secret for Claudia to use

Build

• Navigate to the /api folder
• Run yarn --ignore-engines install
--ignore-engines is required as jstrueskill is incorrectly pinning to only support a specific node and npm version
• Now you can yarn build which will lint, test and compile your code

AWS Setup

• In /database run yarn install followed by yarn start:test and start.
  This will use the javascript AWS api to create the following tables in DynamoDB:
  • foosbot-test-installations
  • foosbot-test-match-history
  • foosbot-installations
  • foosbot-match-history
• In /api run yarn createaws.
  This will use Caludia JS to create a new AWS API Gateway pointing to a new Lambda function called foosbot-interactive.

AWS Deploy

• Use yarn deploy to package the NodeJS project and deploy it to your Lambda with the test-env.json environment parameters. This will be available at the /latest endpoint on your API Gateway, the full URL for which will be included in the log output from Claudia JS.
• Use yarn promote to take the latest version deployed to Lambda, apply the stable-env.json environment parameters and tag this deployment as stable, making it available via the /stable endpoint on your API Gateway.

Adding integration to a Room

When you yarn deploy or yarn promote Claudia JS will return the URL to access the latest or stable version of your FoosBot API. Copy this url and add /descriptor to the end. Now navigate to the HipChat room, select 'Integrations' on the menu option and follow steps below:

• Click 'Install new integration' (must be room admin)
• 'Build your own Integration'
• 'Install an integration from a descriptor URL'
• Paste in the URL for either the latest or stable endpoint with /descriptor on the end.

Happy Foosballing.
