generator-botkit

A Yeoman template for generating Botkit applications

Get Started

Install Yeoman and this template:

npm install -g yo generator-botkit

Create a new folder for your project:

mkdir mybot
cd mybot

From inside your project folder, generate the project:

yo botkit

The generator will walk you through the process of configuring and installing your Botkit application. For each platform, a different set of API credentials and options will be collected. Platform specific provisioning guides can be found in the Botkit docs site →

Once the generator has completed its work, you will be left with a fully operational bot ready to be connected to the messaging platform. To start the application, run npm start. Learn more about the anatomy of a Botkit application →

The entire process is shown below:
