🐝 Bee - hack.chat

An open source cool bot for hack.chat website.

It's the TypeScript version of Bee which was written in pure JavaScript ; re-written from scratch to be more tidy and easy-to-read. You can find utility programs (commands) in src/bin directory, configurations in src/config and other directories at src folder.

a list of other bots and third party softwares of Hack chat can be found at Third party software List.

Customization

Change the credential files inside src/config folder in order to customize the bot.

How to get API keys, trip code and other values for debug?

go to config/keys.ts, and then just comment out the whole keys object and uncomment the import:

import keys from './debug';

/* const keys = { 
    trip: ..,
    api_key: { .. }
} */

Build

files in config folder must be initialized!

In order to build and run the project:

$ npm start

alternatively you can first build:

$ npm run build

Then run the bot:

$ npm run bot

Commands

Contribution

You could add any new commands (utility programs) by creating a new file with

.ts extension at src/bin/ directory which can be written either in pure JavaScript or TypeScript.

Here's the least requirements for any utility program:

class MyUtilityProgram { }

In order to extend your utility program (Command is a class, not an interface):

import Command from '../interfaces/Command';

class MyUtilityProgram extends Command {
	Process() {
		this.output = "Hello world!";
		this.Send(this.output);
	}
}

using an API (JavaScript):

// import Command from '../interfaces/Command';

class MyUtilityProgram /* extends Command */ {
	Process() {
		// get json from server ...
		// process data ...
		this.Send(this.output) // return output
	}
}

using an API (TypeScript):

import API from '../API/< My API >'
import Command from '../interfaces/Command';

class MyUtilityProgram /* extends Command */ implements API.IAPI {
	Process(): void {
		// get json from server ...
		// process data ...
		this.Send(this.output) // return output
	}
}
