gobot

gobot is a bot framework that uses slack interactive message

Usage

Create gobot and Machine

In gobot, a series of interactions are called Machine. gobot can register multiple Machines. gobot can be created in the following way.

bot := gobot.NewGobot()

Machine can be created in the following way.

m := machine.NewMachine("machineName")

Machine consists of multiple State. State is a slack message itself, and transitions to the next State when an event is fired for State.

You can add State to Machine as follows

m.AddState("asking", func(s *machine.State) {
    s.InitialState()
    s.BuildAttachment(func(ev slack.InteractionCallback) {
        s.Text("Do you drink beer?")
        s.Button("accept", "yes", "yes")
        s.Button("decline", "no", "no")
    })
    s.Event("accept", "ordering", func(ev slack.InteractionCallback){})
    s.Event("decline", "canceling", func(ev slack.InteractionCallback){})
  })

Call s.InitialState () for the first State of Machine and s.EndState () for the last State.

You can define a Slack Attachment using DSL in s.BuildAttachment method. You can also define an Event for State in s.Event method. In the above example, when the yes button is pressed, the accept event fires and transitions to the ordering State.

Register Machine to gobot

You can register the created machine in gobot by the following method

bot.AddMachine(food.NewMachine())

Handle slack api

gobot provides a slack api handler. gobot uses the event api 'app_mention' to handle mentions.

You can register a handler in the following way to listen to slack api.

slackVerificationToken := "YOURE_SLACK_VERIFICATION_TOKEN"
SlackAccessToken := "YOURE_SLACK_ACCESS_TOKEN"
eventHandler := bot.NewEventApiHandler(slackVerificationToken, "what do you do?", SlackAccessToken)
http.Handle("/path/to/your_event_api", eventHandler)

interactiveHandler := bot.NewInteractiveApiHandler()
http.Handle("/path/to/your_interactive_messages_api", interactiveHandler)

http.ListenAndServe(":" + os.Getenv("PORT"), nil)
