# Stacy, the Slack PM

### How to run on a brand-new Mac

```sh

#1 Open Terminal

#2 Install Homebrew

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

#3 Install git & node

brew install git node

#4 clone this repo and enter the directory

cd ~/

git clone git://github.com/gswalden/stacy.git

cd ~/stacy

#5 Install node dependencies

npm install

#6 Set environment variable SLACK_TOKEN with a Slack Bot token generated at 

#  https://makerbot.slack.com/services/new/bot (replace makerbot with your Slack group), 

#  and start Stacy

SLACK_TOKEN=xoxo-abc12345679 npm start

```

### How I run Stacy 

Instead of step `#6` above, copy the token and create a new file:

```json

{

  "script": "index.js",

  "ext": "js",

  "env": {

    "BOTMASTER": "gregbot",

    "SLACK_TOKEN": "xoxo-abc12345679"

  }

}

```

Save as `nodemon.json` in the repo's root. The `BOTMASTER` field is optional and should be your Slack username.

Now, return to Terminal and simply type `gulp` to boot up the server. An added bonus of this method: any changes to any `.js` files will be detected and automatically restart the script with your new code.

### Deploying to Heroku

A `Procfile` already exists, all you need to do is set `SLACK_TOKEN` as an environment variable in Heroku's config, then deploy.

### To Do

* Restructure to be used as an npm module
