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 🙏

Readme

slack-microbots

Slack-microbots allows you to split one Slackbot into many little and simple 'microbots'. This is ideal for a team that uses several bots, but doesn't want to setup/code the infrastructure for each. If you user Heroku and setup automatic deploys via Github, you could even code a new bot entirely in the browser and deploy it!

features

  • Handles all authentication and communication with Slack. Just provide it with a Bot Token
  • Has a useful logbot which acts like console.log but prints messages to a #diagnostics channel on your team
  • Each microbot has an incredibly simple structure, and the framework provides easy-to-parse, processed information about messages and your team
  • Provides a syncronous and scoped Redis storage solution for each microbot
  • Provides useful message parsing utilities for microbots
  • Slash command support

sample bot

const Storage = require('slack-microbots/storage');
const console = require('slack-microbots/logbot');
const utils = require('slack-microbots/utils');

module.exports = {
	name : 'fancybot',
	icon : ':tophat:',
	channel : '*',
	handle : function(msg, info, Slack){
		if(info.user == 'scott'){
			Slack.react('thumbsup');
		}
		if(utils.messageHas(msg, ['fancybot', 'fancypants'])){
			Slack.reply('You rang? :tophat:');
		}
	}
}

usage

In your server.js, add this following bit of code

//Boot up helperbot
require('helperbot')({
	expressApp : app,
	diagnosticsWebhook : DIAGNOSTICS_WEBHOOK,
	local : !IS_PRODUCTION,
	debug : true,

	cmdList : ['path/tocmd.js'],
	botList : ['path/to/bot.js],

	botInfo : {
		icon : ':tophat:',
		name : 'higgins',
		token : SLACK_BOT_TOKEN
	}
});

bot spec

Design your micro-bots in the following way


module.exports = {
	listenFor : ['message'],
	response : function(msg, info, HelperBot){
		if(info.user == 'john'){
			HelperBot.reply('Hello John!');
			HelperBot.react('joy');
		}
	}
}

logbot

Logbot is a logging bot that messages to your #diagnostics channel on your slack. Use it just like you would use console.
