Retrieve the status of a Train with a Slack command

TrainStatus Slack Command

The Trenitalia integration for Slack gives you and your teams the ability to retrieve the status of a Train by its own number.

Installing the Trenitalia integration for Slack

Before the configure the application on Slack you need to deploy the application on a remote server. This library comes out with a serverless configuration. This means you are able to deploy on AWS and automatically create an API Gateway endpoint to paste on Slack configuration.

Deploy the application with Serverless

You need to configure your AWS credentials with a profile and your personal credentials. Find out more info at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/setup-aws-cli.html. Now you can deploy the application on AWS.

serverless deploy --aws-profile <your-aws-profile> --region <your-aws-region>

The CLI will output the endpoint of your API gateway.

### Run the application on local environment

You can try locally the application with the following command:

npm run debug

The file event.json contains an example of Slack request body. Here you can customize the number of the train.
