# node-flint (v4)
### Bot SDK for Node JS
## News
**03/01/2020 Please consider the Webex Node Bot Framework:**
* This framework is no longer being actively maintained by the original author. Developers who are familiar with flint may consider trying the [webex-node-bot-framework](https://github.com/webex/webex-bot-node-framework). While not 100% directly compatible with flint, this framework is inspired by flint and should be extremely familiar to developers who already use flint. For more information see the [migration from flint guide](https://github.com/webex/webex-bot-node-framework/blob/master/docs/migrate-from-node-flint.md)
**10/25/19 Support for Adaptive Cards:**
* Cisco recently introduced support for [Adaptive Cards](https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/guides/cards/) in the Webex Teams. Bots can send cards, using the new `attachment` attribute of the message object. Cards are useful as an alternative to text messages and files in order to display or collect complex bits of information. Cards can be sent by passing an object to the bot.say() method that includes a valid attachment. To process user input to cards, apps must implement a `flint.on('attachmentaction', ..)` function. For more details see the [adaptive-card-example](./docs/adaptive-card-example.md)
**6/21/19 Deploying behind a firewall:**
* Cisco has recently introduced support in the Webex Javascript SDK which allows applications to register to receive the message, membership, and room events via a socket instead of via wehbhoks. This allows applications to be deployed behind firewalls and removes the requirement that webex bots and integrations must expose a public IP address to receive events. To take advantage of this in your flint applications simply remove the `webhookUrl` field from the configuration object passed to the flint constructor. If this field is not set, flint will register to listen for these events instead of creating webhooks.
**6/21/18 IMPORTANT:*** On August 31st, 2018 all bots with the sparkbot.io domain name will be
renamed with a webex.bot domain. Today in flint, the code compares the bot's
email with the trigger email to filter out messages from itself. If this code
is running on August 31st the bot will start responding to its own messages.
Please update to Flint v4.7.x as soon as possible to avoid interruption.**3/19/18 IMPORTANT:**
* Note that Flint v4 is still using the node-sparky library version 3.x.
However the repo for node-sparky is now on version 4 which has some major
differences. This misalignment between Flint and Sparky version
will be fixed with the release of Flint v5. In the
short term if you are accessing the spark object directly from Flint via
`flint.spark` be sure to use the documentation for [node-sparky 3.x](https://github.com/flint-bot/sparky/tree/v3).**See [CHANGELOG.md](/CHANGELOG.md) for details on changes to versions of Flint.**

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();
app.use(bodyParser.json());// flint options

token: 'Tm90aGluZyB0byBzZWUgaGVyZS4uLiBNb3ZlIGFsb25nLi4u',
port: 80
};// init flint
var flint = new Flint(config);
flint.start();// say hello
flint.hears('/hello', function(bot, trigger) {
bot.say('Hello %s!', trigger.personDisplayName);
});// define express path for incoming webhooks
// This is not necessary if webhookUrl is not set in the config
app.post('/flint', webhook(flint));// start express server
// This is not necessary if webhookUrl is not set in the config
// unless the bot uses express for other reasons
var server = app.listen(config.port, function () {
flint.debug('Flint listening on port %s', config.port);
});// gracefully shutdown (ctrl-c)
process.on('SIGINT', function() {
flint.debug('stoppping...');
server.close(); // remove if not using webhooks and express
flint.stop().then(function() {
process.exit();
});
});
```[**Restify Example**](https://github.com/nmarus/flint/blob/master/docs/example2.md)
## OverviewMost of Flint's functionality is based around the flint.hears function. This
defines the phrase or pattern the bot is listening for and what actions to take
when that phrase or pattern is matched. The flint.hears function gets a callback
than includes two objects. The bot object, and the trigger object.Flint generates a bot object instance of the Bot class for each room the Spark
account Flint is running under. The bot object instance tracks the specifics
about the room it is running in and is passed to the "hears" command callback
when a phrase is heard.Flint also generates a trigger object based on the person and room that the
flint.hears function was triggered.A simple example of a flint.hears() function setup:
```js
flint.hears(phrase, function(bot, trigger) {
bot.
.then(function(returnedValue) {
// do something with returned value
})
.catch(function(err) {
// handle errors
});
});
```* `phrase` : This can be either a string or a regex pattern.
If a string, the string is matched against the first word in the room message.
message.
If a regex pattern is used, it is matched against the entire message text.
* `bot` : The bot object that is used to execute commands when the `phrase` is
triggered.
* `bot.` : The Bot method to execute.
* `then` : Node JS Promise keyword that invokes additional logic once the
previous command is executed.
* `catch` : handle errors that happen at either the original command or in any
of the chained 'then' functions.
* `trigger` : The object that describes the details around what triggered the
`phrase`.
* `commands` : The commands that are ran when the `phrase` is heard.## Authentication
The token used to authenticate Flint to the Spark (now Webex) API is passed as part of the
options used when instantiating the Flint class. To change or update the
token, use the Flint#setSparkToken() method.**Example:**
```js
var newToken = 'Tm90aGluZyB0byBzZWUgaGVyZS4uLiBNb3ZlIGFsb25nLi4u';flint.setSparkToken(newToken)
.then(function(token) {
console.log('token updated to: ' + token);
});
```## Storage
The storage system used in flint is a simple key/value store and resolves around
these 3 methods:* `bot.store(key, value)` - Store a value to a bot instance where 'key' is a
string and 'value' is a boolean, number, string, array, or object. *This does
not not support functions or any non serializable data.* Returns the a promise
with the value.
* `bot.recall(key)` - Recall a value by 'key' from a bot instance. Returns a
resolved promise with the value or a rejected promise if not found.
* `bot.forget([key])` - Forget (remove) value(s) from a bot instance where 'key'
is an optional property that when defined, removes the specific key, and when
undefined, removes all keys. Returns a resolved promise if deleted or not found.When a bot despawns (removed from room), the key/value store for that bot
instance will automatically be removed from the store. Flint currently has an
in-memory store and a Redis based store. By default, the in-memory store is
used. Other backend stores are possible by replicating any one of the built-in
storage modules and passing it to the `flint.storeageDriver()` method. *See
docs for store, recall, forget for more details.***Example:**
```js
var redisDriver = require('node-flint/storage/redis');
flint.storageDriver(redisDriver('redis://localhost'));
```## Bot Accounts
**When using "Bot Accounts" the major differences are:**
* Webhooks for message:created only trigger when the Bot is mentioned by name
* Unable to read messages in rooms using the Spark (now Webex) API**Differences with trigger.args using Flint with a "Bot Account":**
The trigger.args array is a shortcut in processing the trigger.text string. It
consists of an array of the words that are in the trigger.message string split
by one or more spaces. Punctation is included if there is no space between the
symbol and the word. With bot accounts, this behaves a bit differently.* If defining a `flint.hears()` using a string (not regex), `trigger.args` is a
filtered array of words from the message that begins *after* the first match of
bot mention.* If defining a flint.hears() using regex, the trigger.args array is the entire
message.# Flint Reference
