Installation

First clone the repo and run the following commands:

# The Slack API
$ go get -u github.com/nlopes/slack

# The YAML package
$ go get -u gopkg.in/yaml.v2

Now you can build the bot by running the command: $ go build
This will create a file called slackbots which can be run from the command line. Be sure to check out the Environment variables section.

Usage

First add the bot to your workspace, afterwards invite the bot to the relevant channels. The bot reacts to three commands:

!create product [name]
!set cost [cost] [name]
!get prices [name]

The first command creates a product with the given name. The name may contain spaces.
The second command sets the price of a given product to the cost in ører.
The third command makes the bot send a message to the channel with the prices for the product.

Environment variables

• KANTINE_DB - must be set for bot to work
• SLACK_API_TOKEN - must be set for Slack to work
• GO_ENV - should be set to 'production' in production mode to disable logging
