Slack - DJ Khaled

A Slack Bot that allows you to post major key material with just a simple slash command. When configured within your Slack instance, a DJ Khaled bot will listen to your commands and post a suitable image. This is currently intended to be run as a separate Node service.

##How it Works

Once a Slash Command is set up in your configurations, issuing the /djkhaled command will send the data to the Node instance URL. The command is then validated by confiriming the token received from Slack. Once that's done, cheerio is used to web scrape Bing Image Search to obtain the top image result which is sent back to the Slack channel via an Incoming Webhook.

##Getting Started

1. Configure your Slack Integrations
   1. Create a new Slash Command
   • Name the command /djkhaled
   • Set the URL to be http://yourhostname/blessup
   • Method should be POST
   2. Create an Inbound Webhook. Every message from DJ Khaled will come via this webhook.
   • From the "Integration Settings"
     • Set the default channel you'd like (doesn't really matter, DJ Khaled will post to the public channel you're on)
     • Set the bot name (DJ Khaled, can be changed in the config file)
     • Set the default bot avatar (a nice DJ Khaled faceshot will be perfect)
2. Update config.js in your project
   1. slack_webhook_url : must match the "Webhook URL" setting found in your Incoming Webhook configuration
   2. slack_token : should match the "Token" value found in your Slash Command configuration
   3. port: should match your desired port

##Major Key Alert

Run in your terminal:

node blessup.js

In your browser, visit:

http://localhost:8081/blessup

Note: Slack requires a secure public URL so if you're running on a localhost for testing purposes, you may have to use a tool like ngrok to tunnel requests with a public hostname.
