beepboop-smallwins-slack - Run a multi-team smallwins-slack bot on Beep Boop.

beepboop-smallwins-slack allows bot developers to run a smallwins/slack 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-smallwins-slack handles creating new RTM connections as new teams add your bot.

Install

npm install --save beepboop-smallwins-slack

Use

var slack = require('slack')
var beepboop = require('beepboop-smallwins-slack')
var workers = beepboop.start(slack, {
  debug: true
})

workers.on('start', (bot) => {
  // on bot started register handlers
  bot.hello((message) => {
    // connection succeeded
    console.log('Got a message: ' + JSON.stringify(message))
  })
})

see examples/simple.js for an example.

Module: beepboop-smallwins-slack

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 slack workers

Since there can be multiple slack 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 bot token identifying the worker, and the value is the rtm client as returned from slack's listen() function.

var slack = require('slack')
var beepboop = require('beepboop-smallwins-slack')
var workers = beepboop.start(slack, {
  debug: true
})

// after teams have been added
workers.on('start', function (bot) {
  bot.hello(message=> {
    console.log(`Got a message: ${message}`)
  })
})
