botkit-storage-postgres

Postgres storage module for Botkit

Install

Install with npm

npm install botkit-storage-pg --save

Usage

If you're using botkit starter pack, you can do it in the bot.js file by adding config to it

For Heroku user with Uri:

if (isCustomStorage) {
  let dboptions = {
    connectionString: "Uri"
  };
  var storage = require('botkit-storage-pg')(dboptions);
  bot_options.storage = storage;
} else {
  console.log("Without a db, the bot will require reauthen when the server is restart");
  bot_options.json_file_store = __dirname + '/.data/db/'; // store user data in a simple JSON format
}

For user with normal option:

if (isCustomStorage) {
  let dboptions = {
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'botkit',
    password: 'botkit',
    database: 'botkit',
    port: 'port'
  };
  var storage = require('botkit-storage-pg')(dboptions);
  bot_options.storage = storage;
} else {
  console.log("Without a db, the bot will require reauthen when the server is restart");
  bot_options.json_file_store = __dirname + '/.data/db/'; // store user data in a simple JSON format
}

If you're implementing botkit from scratch

For Uri:

var botkit_storage_pg = require('botkit-storage-pg');
var Botkit = require('botkit');

var controller = Botkit.slackbot({
  storage: botkit_storage_pg({
     connectionString: "Uri"
  })
});

For normal option:

var botkit_storage_pg = require('botkit-storage-pg');
var Botkit = require('botkit');

var controller = Botkit.slackbot({
  storage: botkit_storage_pg({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'botkit',
    password: 'botkit',
    database: 'botkit',
    port: 'port'
  })
});
