Add imgflip meme generation to your Lita bot!

## Installation

Add lita-imgflip-memes to your Lita instance's Gemfile:

``` ruby

gem "lita-imgflip-memes"

```

## Configuration

The 'lita way' to do this is to open up your `lita_config.rb` and set up file-based configuration:

```rb

config.handlers.imgflip_memes.api_user = 'myusername'

config.handlers.imgflip_memes.api_password = 'mypassword'

```

I have set up this gem to deafult to the following environment variables if the config entries aren't set in `lita_config.rb`:

```rb

  ENV['IMGFLIP_API_USER']

  ENV['IMGFLIP_API_PASSWORD']

```

### Adding new memes to your local Lita bot

On a suggestion from [@joshwlewis](https://github.com/joshwlewis) I've added a way to put new memes in your Lita bot without having to monkey patch this gem.  Add them to your `lita_config.rb` with the `add_meme` method:

```rb

Lita::Handlers::ImgflipMemes.add_meme(

  template_id: 61546,

  pattern: /(brace yoursel[^\s]+) (.*)/i,

  help: 'brace yourselves, ')

```

Note that the `pattern` needs to be a regex and it needs to capture two strings.  If you don't have two pairs of parens in your regex you're gonna have a bad time.

## Usage
