enter responder macro
ryanwinchester opened this issue · comments
hubot has enter
and leave
methods that can be very helpful.
well, at least the enter
one is.
any plans on adding enter
responder macro?
I've thought about these, but I've never really had a practical use-case for them. If you could outline what you'd expect from such macros and how they would be used, I could see if I can work that into the plans for 2.0.
one example would be, when someone enters, the bot could greet them. there are some use-cases where we'd want to greet and give some instruction, or rules, or links to resources, etc
@ryanwinchester is this usually a one-off action? Would you actually want to define more than one of these type of responders?
I'm curious if this would make more sense for a callback in the robot module instead?
def handle_join(%Hedwig.Join{room: room, user: user}, state) do
# ...
end
def handle_leave(%Hedwig.Leave{room: room, user: user}, state) do
# ...
end
And what about catchAll
listener in Hubot?
module.exports = (robot) ->
robot.catchAll (msg) ->
msg.send "I don't know how to react to: #{msg.message.text}."
