This is a chat bot built on the Hubot framework that demonstrates how to use the Robot.react method introduced in hubot-slack v4.2.0 and the ReactionMessage type introduced in hubot-slack v4.1.0.

All of the example code is in scripts/handle-reaction.coffee.

Running the bot

1. Clone this repo:

   $ git clone https://github.com/mbland/hubot-slack-reaction-example
   $ cd hubot-slack-reaction-example
   $ npm install

2. You must have administrator access for your Slack domain. Alternatively, you can create your own personal slack domain for testing.

3. Create a new Slack bot user for your team. Name it anything you like, such as reaction-example-bot. Take note of the API token, which should start with xoxb-.

4. Invite the bot to a channel by @-mentioning it in the channel, e.g. @reaction-example-bot.

5. Run the bot:

   $ HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=<bot-test-token> ./bin/hubot --adapter slack

   you should see output like:

   [Sun Oct 09 2016 12:22:12 GMT-0400 (EDT)] INFO Logged in as reaction-example-bot of mbland
   [Sun Oct 09 2016 12:22:12 GMT-0400 (EDT)] INFO Slack client now connected
   [Sun Oct 09 2016 12:22:12 GMT-0400 (EDT)] INFO Listening for reaction_added, reaction_removed events

6. Post a message in your Slack domain and add an emoji reaction to it.

Now you should see something like:
