# Welcome FaceBook Chat Bot
## Development Technologies
At the moment of developing this project, I used the following versions of
Elixir and Erlang.
```elixir
iex> mix hex.info
Hex: 1.0.1
Elixir: 1.13.0
OTP: 24.0.4
Built with: Elixir 1.13.0 and OTP 22.3
```
## Export System variables
The following variables are required to be exported
```sh
FACEBOOK_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN =
FACEBOOK_WEBHOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN =
```
# Running Application
#### mix release digi_coin
```
mix deps.get
mix release digi_coin
```
I added the releases path to `./releases`
So, we are provided with following commands.
```
Release created at releases!
# To start your system
releases/bin/digi_coin start
Once the release is running:
# To connect to it remotely
releases/bin/digi_coin remote
# To stop it gracefully (you may also send SIGINT/SIGTERM)
releases/bin/digi_coin stop
To list all commands:
releases/bin/digi_coin
```
#### iex -S mix
Running Interactively
# Receiving Updates as Webhooks
## Expose a local web server to the internet
The `ngrok` will allow local webserver running to internet. So, we can use our local webserver url as webhook url at `blocknative`.
run the following command
```shell
ngrok http 4000
```
You will see the following output.
```
Session Status online
Version 2.3.40
Region United States (us)
Web Interface http://127.0.0.1:4040
Forwarding http://14fc-136-185-52-176.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:4000
Forwarding https://14fc-136-185-52-176.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:4000
Connections ttl opn rt1 rt5 p50 p90
```
The urls may look different as `ngrok` assigns random hexadecimal names to the HTTP tunnels it opens.
Here the url is `http://14fc-136-185-52-176.ngrok.io` which will act our webhook base.
Make sure you add `http://14fc-136-185-52-176.ngrok.io/blocknative/webhook` as webhook url for `facebook`.
## Project Challenges
- Framing of Templates and Organizing the modules
- Message Handler for identifying type of web hook events
- Using docker to releases with Elixir.
