zulip-bot-kaomoji

Zulip bot to replace commands by kaomojis.
Simply put, replaces messages like @kao shrug with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, for example.

Instalation

To work on this bot, follow the following instructions to setup you environment:

  1. pip install virtualenv
  2. virtualenv venv
  3. source venv/bin/activate
  4. pip install -r requirements.txt

After you’re done working for the moment, don’t forget to $ deactivate.

Configuration

To run this bot, don’t forget to create a config.sh file with the following structure:

export ZULIP_USR=<your-bot-address>
export ZULIP_API=<your-bot-apy_key>
export ZULIP_PRIVATE_USR=<your-private-address>
export ZULIP_PRIVATE_API=<your-private-api-key>

After having such a file, don’t forget to load these variables, something like source config.sh.

Zulip configuration

If you want to use the bot, you’ll have to send the bot your private API key. As explained by Zulip:

For most bots using the API, you'll want to give each bot its own name and API key using the above section. But if you want to write a bot that can access your own private messages, you should use your personal API key.

So follow these steps:

  1. Open up Zulip and go to Settings
  2. Scroll until the bottom and click on the button Show/change your API key
  3. After inserting your password, copy that 32-character string
  4. Send a private message to kawaii-bot@students.hackerschool.com
    (it’s the e-mail address of the bot – its name is Kawaii, by the way)
  5. And that’s it! You should receive a message from the bot telling you your key was saved. You can now @kao <kaomoji> at will! (⌒ω⌒)

You can edit or remove your API key at any time. Just send it a private message with a new API key to update it, or a command like delete, remove, exit or stop to ask the bot to remove you from its database. Simple! 〜(￣▽￣〜)

To use them, just write @kao <one-of-the-above-kaomojis-keyword>. Example: @kao hi will be replaced by (￣▽￣)ノ.
You can even have several kaomojis on a phrase, any place on it: I hope this @kao dance doesn’t break… gets replaced to I hope this ⌒(o＾▽＾o)ノ doesn’t break…
