Webbybot
**THIS PROJECT IS NOT MAINTAINED, please consider Hubot or my client-side attempt Saihubot **
Webbybot is the next generation framework to build message/chat bots, written in ES6 and plain javascript. Fully compatible with Hubot's middleware and plugins.
The Differences:
- Port hubot from CoffeeScript to ES6 (plain JS) with babel.
- Auto test coverage report with Codecov.
- Auto linting with eslint.
- Support .env file to setup system parameters
- robot.router upgraded to Express 4.x
The Same:
- Still support hubot plugins written in coffeescript.
- Can reuse hubot adapters*
- Auto continue integration with Travis CI.
- How it works(for now)
- Support write plugin with plain Javascript
