Hubot
=====
This is our version of GitHub's Campfire bot, hubot.
Created from hubot -c with one custom script so far.
This version is designed to be deployed on heroku.
Playing with Hubot
==================
You'll need to install the necessary dependencies for hubot. All of
those dependencies are provided by [npm](http://npmjs.org).
# installs
% brew install node
% curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
% npm install
# To run in shell mode
% bin/hubot
# To run in irc mode
% bin/hubot -a irc
You'll see some startup output about where your scripts come from.

{ id: '1', name: 'Shell' }

Then you can interact with Hubot by typing `hubot help`.
hubot help
animate me - The same thing as `image me`, except adds a few
convert me to - Convert expression to given units.
help - Displays all of the help commands that Hubot knows about.
...
Take a look at the scripts in the `./scripts` folder for examples.
Delete any scripts you think are silly. Add whatever functionality you
want hubot to have.
hubot-scripts
=============
There will inevitably be functionality that everyone will want. Instead
of adding it to hubot itself, you can submit pull requests to
[hubot-scripts](https://github.com/github/hubot-scripts). To enable
scripts from the hubot-scripts package, add the script name with extension as a
double quoted string to the hubot-scripts.json file in this repo.
Deployment
==========
% heroku create --stack cedar
% git push heroku master
% heroku ps:scale app=1
% heroku addons:add redistogo:nano
If you run into any problems, checkout heroku's [docs](http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/node-js).
You'll need to edit the `Procfile` to say what the bot's name is.
Hubot also needs three environmental variables set to run and to keep him
running on heroku.
Campfire Variables
------------------
Create a separate user for your bot and get their token from the web UI.
% heroku config:add HUBOT_CAMPFIRE_TOKEN="..."
Get the numeric ids of the rooms you want the bot to join, comma
delimited. If you want the bot to connect to `https://mysubdomain.campfirenow.com/room/42`
and `https://mysubdomain.campfirenow.com/room/1024` then you'd add it like this:
% heroku config:add HUBOT_CAMPFIRE_ROOMS="42,1024"
Add the subdomain hubot should connect to. If you web URL looks like
`http://mysubdomain.campfirenow.com` then you'd add it like this:
% heroku config:add HUBOT_CAMPFIRE_ACCOUNT="mysubdomain"
IRC Variables
------------------
% heroku config:add HUBOT_IRC_SERVER="irc.freenode.net"
% heroku config:add HUBOT_IRC_ROOMS="#github,#node.js"
% heroku config:add HUBOT_IRC_NICK="MICCHECK1212"
Twilio Variables
------------------
You must have a Twilio account with credit and a number that can send and
receive SMS messages.
% heroku config:add HUBOT_SMS_FROM="+14156662671"
% heroku config:add HUBOT_SMS_SID="AC5d10e5624da757326d12f8d31c08c20b"
% heroku config:add HUBOT_SMS_TOKEN="4ada63e18146a204e468fb6289030231"
After getting Hubot up and running, update the "SMS Request URL" for your
Twilio number to point to your Hubot instance.
Restart the bot
---------------
You may want to get comfortable with `heroku logs` and `heroku restart`
if you're having issues.
