My Groupme Bot

A simple GroupMe bot building and hosting module.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm i my-groupme-bot --save

Usage

Dad Bot

The bot, inspired by dads everywhere, takes any declarations about yourself very literally.

Example:

User: I'm feeling great today
Bot: Hi feeling great today, I'm dad!

Code:

const bot = require('my-groupme-bot')

bot.config('YOUR_BOT_ID')
  .pattern(
    /(i'?m|i\s+am)\s+[^.?!]*[.?!]?/gi,
    (message, matches) => bot.send(matches.map(match =>
      `Hi ${match.trim().replace(/^(i'?m|i\s+am)\s+/gi, '')}, I'm dad!`
    ).join('\n'))
  ).listen(process.env.PORT)

Ted and Robin Bot

The bot, inpired by How I Met Your Mother, salutes any army, navy, etc. officer mentioned in a chat!

Example:

User: Well yeah, that's the general idea
Bot: *salutes* general idea

Code:

const bot = require('my-groupme-bot')

bot.config('YOUR_BOT_ID')
  .pattern(new RegExp(`(${[
    'general',
    'private',
    'corporal',
    'lieutenant',
    'major',
    'captain',
    'admiral',
    'colonel',
    'kernel',
    'sergeant',
    'specialist',
    'marine',
    'officer'
  ].join('|')})[^.]*\\.?`, 'gi'),
    (message, matches) => bot.send(matches.map(match => `*salutes* ${match.trim()}`).join('\n'))
  ).listen(process.env.PORT)
