Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Build Status

beepboop-botkit - Run a multi-team botkit bot on Beep Boop.

beepboop-botkit allows bot developers to run a Botkit based bot on the Beep Boop HQ bot hosting platform and support multiple teams.

Supporting multiple teams from a single bot process is made simpler as beepboop-botkit handles "spawning" as new teams add your bot.

Install

npm install --save beepboop-botkit

Use

var Botkit = require('botkit')
var BeepBoop = require('beepboop-botkit')

var controller = Botkit.slackbot()
var beepboop = BeepBoop.start(controller)

// listen for botkit controller events
controller.on('bot_channel_join', function (bot, message) {
  bot.reply(message, 'I\'m here!')
})

// Optionally you may want to listen to beepboop events
beepboop.on('add_resource', function (msg) {
  console.log('received request to add bot to team')
})

see examples/simple.js for an example.

Module: beepboop-botkit

Module has exported function start

BeepBoop.start([options Object])

  • options.debug Boolean - Logs debug output if true
  • Returns an EventEmitter2 instance. For more information on the events exposed, please see the underlying beepboop module's documentation, as it is what is returned here.

Accessing botkit workers

Since there can be multiple botkit workers spawned (1 for each team), these are exposed via a workers property on the returned beepboop instance after calling start(). The workers property is an object hash where the key is a unique resource id identifying the worker, and the value is the botkit worker as returned from botkit's spawn() function. :

var Botkit = require('botkit')
var BeepBoop = require('beepboop-botkit')

var controller = Botkit.slackbot()
var beepboop = BeepBoop.start(controller)

// after teams have been added
beepboop.on('add_resource', function (message) {
  Object.keys(beepboop.workers).forEach(function (id) {
    // this is an instance of a botkit worker
    var bot = beepboop.workers[id]
  })
})

Additional Events

botkit.rtm.started - (bot, resource, meta)

  • bot - Botkit bot instance
  • resource - Beep Boop resource from an add_resource message
  • meta - additional metadata about event
  • meta.isNew - Boolean - true if this is a brand new team that was just added (only true once)

After a new Slack RTM connection has been established, useful if you want to message a user right away, or after they added the bot to their team.

var beepboop = BeepBoop.start(controller)

// Send the user who added the bot to their team a welcome message the first time it's connected
beepboop.on('botkit.rtm.started', function (bot, resource, meta) {
  var slackUserId = resource.SlackUserID

  if (meta.isNew && slackUserId) {
    bot.api.im.open({ user: slackUserId }, function (err, response) {
      if (err) {
        return console.log(err)
      }
      var dmChannel = response.channel.id
      bot.say({channel: dmChannel, text: 'Thanks for adding me to your team!'})
      bot.say({channel: dmChannel, text: 'Just /invite me to a channel!'})
    })
  }
})
