#serverless-slackbot-scaffold
This project is a khaos template for building an AWS lambda service that acts as a slack slash commands processor. It uses the Serverless framework for easier deployment to AWS.
From the custom integrations page in slack, add a "Slash Commands" integration and retreive the slack verification token.
Install khaos
$ npm install -g khaos
Install the template to your local machine
$ khaos install localytics/serverless-slackbot-scaffold slackbot
Run the templating engine
$ khaos create slackbot <project-name>
You will be prompted to fill in metadata fields about the project. The names and descriptions of each field are below:
aws-profile: The AWS profile in$HOME/.aws/credentialsthat will be used for deployment.author: The name of the author of this slackbot. It is used inside of the two package.json files.slack-token: The token displayed on the custom integration page in slack.
Once every field has been filled in, a new directory will be created that will contain your templated slackbot. If you prefer to have different stages and regions configured for your slackbot than the default ones (dev and us-east-1) you can rebuild the _meta directory using sls project init once you've installed the serverless CLI.
Refer to the templated README file within the new project directory for configuration, deployment, and testing instructions.
For testing the template itself, run bin/test. Note for test speed, the dependencies are then cached for all subsequent runs in cache.
