It's a simple Rack app that handle POST requests and launch dice with different sides.
## Install
- Create a new bot on Telegram writing to **@BotFather** the command `/newbot` and choose a name and a nick; it will return the access token for the bot, put it in `API_TOKEN` env variable of `.env` file (for local development)
- Setup your bot project on Heroku:
- Create a new Ruby project
- Set the API_TOKEN with: `heroku config:set API_TOKEN=bot_token`
- Clone this repo and commit the changes
- Check the logs with: `heroku logs -t`
- Set the webhook URL for the bot (replacing `API_TOKEN` and `HEROKU_PROJECT`):
```sh
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 'https://api.telegram.org/botAPI_TOKEN/setWebhook' --data '{"url":"https://HEROKU_PROJECT.herokuapp.com/"}'
```
## Usage
- Write to your bot a command (ex. `.D4`)
- A POST request should be received (check the Heroku logs)
- The result should be shown in the bot channel
