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 🙏

hubot-messenger-bot-adapter

A Hubot adapter for Facebook Messenger Platform (Bots) with zero external dependencies.

The most simple, and elegant Facebook Messenger Platform adapter for Hubot.

This is built for the latest Facebook Messenger Platform (Beta) with bots announced at F8 2016 (Code to Connect). It leverages on the platform's Send / Receive API. It is tested, and ready-to-use. This repository is NOT affiliated with Facebook.

This adapter currently supports:

  • [x] Token validation
  • [x] Basic sending / receiving
  • [x] Resolving user IDs to their full names
  • [x] Tracking user ID, message ID, recipient ID (page)
  • [x] Auto-truncating long messages

320 characters limit

At the time of writing, the Send API only allows up to 320 characters. We strongly recommend using a plugin like hubot-longtext to gracefully handle long messages.

See src/messenger.coffee for full documentation.

Getting Started

Refer to Getting Started - Messenger Platform, and Complete Guide - Messenger Platform for more information.

The callback URL is http://your-bot-address:8080/webhook/.

You can test your bot locally using ngrok. Run ./ngrok http 8080, and it should return a HTTPS forwarding URL (be sure to append /webhook/ to it).

The adapter requires your verification token, and access token to function. You can set them via environment variables. Refer to Configuration for more information.

Installation via NPM

npm install --save hubot-messenger-bot-adapter

Now, run Hubot with the messenger-bot-adapter adapter:

DEBUG=hubot-messenger-bot-adapter ./bin/hubot -a messenger-bot-adapter

Configuration

Variable | Default | Description --- | --- | --- MESSENGER_VERIFY_TOKEN | N/A | Your bot's verification token. You can obtain one when you create a web hook to receive events for a specific page.
