Slack bot in Swift with Vapor framework

Slackbot 🤖

Slackbot utilizes Swift with Vapor framework to build an swift executable that allows you to customize response of your slackbot by simply setting bot token and adding a few lines of Swift codes.

Feel free to open any issue or pull request.

Environment

• Swift: 3.0
• Vapor: 0.14

It is recommended to use swiftenv to manage the Swift version.

Get started

Clone

$ git clone https://github.com/popodidi/Slackbot

Generate .xcodeproj (optional but recommended)

$ swift package generate-xcodeproj
$ open Slackbot.xcodeproj

Set bot token

Create a bot to get token if you don't have one. Set it up in /Sources/Config.swift

import Foundation

struct Slack {
    struct Config {
    	// set your bot token here
        static let BotToken = "----Your Bot Token----"
        static let SimpleLatest = true
        static let NoUnreads = true
    }
}

Install openssl (for macOS)

$ brew install openssl
$ brew link openssl -f

Run

Terminal

$ swift build
$ .build/debug/Slackbot

Xcode

Choose Slackbot scheme and press Run button

Customize response

Check out /Sources/MyResponseHandler and follow the instructions written in comments to override the functions.

For example, if you want to respond to a specific message, "how are you?".

override func response(toMessage text: String) -> String?{
	if text == "how are you?"{
		return "I'm good"
	}else{
		// return nil for no response
		return nil
	}
}
