# ✈️🔔 Flight deal alerts for Slack
Make automated posts like this to a Slack channel:
## Setup and usage
### With Docker (recommended)
From the top level of the repo, run:
```bash
touch lastChecked
cp .env.example .env
```
In the .env file, fill in the `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` environment variable ([get one here](https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks)). If desired, you may also change the city following [instructions below](#change-city). Then, run:
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
That's it!
### Without Docker
1. Install: `npm i`
2. Follow [instructions here](https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks) to get a Slack "app" and webhook URL.
2. Run the script (manually): `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL= FLIGHT_DEAL_CITY="New York City" node index.js`
You probably want to set up the script to run automatically using cron with a frequency of every hour or less.
## Change city
You can change the city by examining the RSS feed for supported cities and updating the `FLIGHT_DEAL_CITY` environment variable.
