A simple starting point for creating a Beep Boop hostable, Ruby based Slack bot.

Visit Beep Boop to get the scoop on the the Beep Boop hosting platform. The Slack API documentation can be found here.

• You have already signed up with Beep Boop and have a local fork of this project.
• You have sufficient rights in your Slack team to configure a bot and generate/access a Slack API token.

bundle install
SLACK_TOKEN=<YOUR SLACK TOKEN> ruby ./bot.rb

Things are looking good if the console prints something like:

Connected <your bot name> to <your slack team> team at https://<your slack team>.slack.com.

docker build -t starter-ruby .
docker run --rm -it -e SLACK_TOKEN=<YOUR SLACK API TOKEN> starter-ruby

If you have linked your local repo with the Beep Boop service (check here), changes pushed to the remote master branch will automatically deploy.

This code is influenced by and utilizes the awesome https://github.com/dblock/slack-ruby-client project by @dblock.
