A reddit bot that responds to comments with mastery information

mastery-bot

A reddit bot (/u/mastery_bot) which responds to username mentions with information about a summoner's mastery points.

All data is fetched from https://www.masterypoints.com.

How does it work

When a user mentions the bot's username (/u/mastery_bot or u/mastery_bot) the bot automatically receives a PM.

Every X amount of seconds the bot checks for new unread messages using the snoowrap library.

Next we parse the comment's contents and look for a pattern we recognize. The most common command is /u/mastery_bot summoner name / server.

A response is generated and stored in a SQLITE database with status sent set to 0

During all this we check the database for rows with status == 0. Once we find one we attempt to respond to the original comment using the generated response.

Possible commands

• Summoner profile:
  • Format: /u/mastery_bot <summoner_name> / <server>
• Champion highscores:
  • Format: /u/mastery_bot @champion <champion name> / <server>
  • You can enter a normal server or use any to receive a highscore across all servers

Installation

1. Clone or download this repo
2. Install the required libraries npm install
3. Create a config file at src/config/config by copying the template
4. Edit the new config file and enter your reddit account information and reddit application credentials.
5. Run the server using npm start

Command line options

• -g or --gui will show a basic table with statistics about the server. By default the server will display a endless stream of console logs

Tests

Right now only some very basic tests have been added. I'll be adding more in the feature to test the database, API calls and fetch/response objects.

Run the tests using npm test

Issues

• Setting the user limit to more than 1 will cause the bot to respond to reply multiple times to the same comment. This should be solved by combining multiple user templates into 1 comment.
• The main isReady() function should be re-written to use promisses
