MondoBot for Slack

MONDO HACK III Building a mondo-slack integrating botkit, wit.ai, giphy and mondo-bank

Setup

npm install to install dependencies

cp .env.example .env and change the environment variables to your creds:

To run a test bot locally, you will need to:

• create a new slack app, set slack_clientId and slack_clientSecret in .env
• create a new mondo oauth client and set mondo_client_secret as an env variable and set the mondo client id right inside mondobot.js
• set botkit_port=some-port
• in the slack app, oAuth redirect should be 127.0.0.1:some-port, and it should auto-create a bot
• install redis and set local_redis=true (If you want to run this with a remote redis server, you need to set local_redis=false and define a REDIS_URL)
• run redis-server and then node mondobot.js
• hit localhost:some-port/login it should redirect you to slack, add it to the team you want
• will be redirected to a success page and redis is ready

Heroku

For this to run on Port 80 on Heroku you need to set PORT as an envornment variable within Heorku

Coding style

2 space tabs, tabs translated to spaces

We're using mondo-bank with callback syntax

To Fix

• transactions only works if you @ the bot
• Catch all errors
• webshot streaming back to slack - not saving the file
• have all the .hears("") added to wit.ai

Enhancements

• DONE: thinking emojis
• DONE: for any queries that are out of context, it send off your query to giphy
• DONE: multiple accounts (oAuth through Mondo 3-legged web auth stored in Redis)
• transactions should be able to set a date range
• transaction aggregation
• add a help menu (of the commands that can be done and how)
• visualise le data
• team spending
• team reimbursements
• DOING ML ALL DA THINGS, chrono to parse any dates
