Directory Structure

Using the common directory structure for hubot script packages it will be easy to manage and allow others to easily contribute to your package.

script

This directory is home to a couple of development scripts; bootstrap and test they're used to bootstrap the development environment and run tests respectively.

src

This directory is home to the actual hubot scripts in the package. Your index.coffee entry point will load the scripts from this directory.

test

This directory is home to any tests you write for your scripts. This example package uses Mocha, Chai and Sinon to manage writing tests.

Advantages of Building a Package

Some of the advantages of building an npm package for your hubot script(s) are:

• You don't need to rely on when hubot-scripts package is released.
• You can specify dependencies in the package.json rather than have users manually specify them
• You can easily add tests using your favourite frameworks and libraries
