Tacobot is a slackbot inspired by Heytaco.

It lets you reward the people you share your slack with thanks to tacos.

• Invite @tacobot in a public channel and make sure you are in this channel
• Just ping any coworker with @ and add as many 🌮as you want* in the message ! Tacobot will then take your tacos from your daily stash and give them to the coworker you just mentionned. So a message looks like this: Thanks @heytaco for creating this concept! :taco: :taco:. And @heyTaco taco counter will be incremented of 2 more tacos.
  • *Well... up to 5 per day !

You can send a direct message to @tacobot and ask for help, he will be glad to answer you

You can send a direct message to @tacobot and ask for score or ranking. Then he will display the names of the 5 most tacoed people in the slack. You can also ask Tacobot directly in a public channel, but be careful... It will ping 5 people !

You can send a direct message to @tacobot and ask for how many tacos to give you have left.

Tacobot is not a published slack app. So you need to configure it manually (and by that I mean to code just a bit) and deploy it to your server (or run it in your machine).

First of all, to make it work, you need to create a file called config.js. It looks like this:

const debug = process.env.NODE_ENV === "development";
const clientId = "**********.**********";
const clientSecret = "********************************";
const scopes = ["bot"];
const clientSigningSecret = "********************************";
const clientVerificationToken = "**********************";

const token = "****-************-*************-**********************";

const controller = {
  debug,
  clientId,
  clientSecret,
  scopes,
  clientVerificationToken,
  clientSigningSecret
};

module.exports = {
  controller,
  token
};

First you need to install dependencies:

yarn install

Then you can just run

yarn start

The project will be lunched with nodemon and reload on every changes.

For the moment, tests are not up to date and are legacy of quick developing. PRs are welcome.

Tacobot was supposed to be a POC and then happened to work quite alright. So the database is actually a .json file. It will be generated the first time you lunch the project.

Tacobot is powered by Botkit 🚀
