Vapor SlackBot
You'll probably want to start w/ the slack documentation: https://api.slack.com/bot-users.
You can come say hello to this bot running on heroku in our slack as myrtle: http://slack.qutheory.io/
🦄 Deploy
⚠️ Note
Heroku won't automatically scale dynos for your bot. After the build is complete, you'll need to start the process.
🚦 Environment
| Xcode | Swift Version |
|---|---|
| 8 | DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2016-06-20-a |
Setup Xcode by running swift package generate-xcodeproj
🔑 Bot Token
Once you have setup your bot-token, create a folder named Config and place a file bot-config.json in it. The green check marks are because I sync w/ Dropbox, they can be ignored.
Your bot-config.json file should look like this (replace your token)
{
"token": "<#your token here#>"
}
🏃 Run
Once the environment is configured, as above, your bot should run in Xcode. Direct message your bot in slack w/ a hello prefix and there will be a hello response.
🛠 Manually Deploy
If you'd prefer to build to Heroku manually
Config Token
Add your secret token (or through Heroku WebSite):
heroku config:set BOT_TOKEN=<#your-token-here#>
Set Buildpack
heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/kylef/heroku-buildpack-swift
Procfile

Push To Heroku
