Motivation

User can see animebot in slack after it has been integrated into the user's channel.

Implementation

• [x] Create a wireframe
• [x] Create an index.js file
• [x] Install express and request as a dependency
• [x] Install localtunnel as a dependency
• [x] Install nodemon as a devDependency
  • [x] Write in scripts for ["start": "node index.js"] and ["watch": "nodemon index.js"] in package.json
• [x] install localtunnel module globally (npm install localtunnel -g) if you haven't already
• [x] Create a localtunnel to local port 4000 with subdomain "animebot". So, the tunnel.url should be https://animebot.localtunnel.me/.
• [x] Create an express app that listens on port 4000
• [x] Go to https://api.slack.com/apps
  • [x] Select "Create New App" and put "animebot" in the "App Name" section. Select a Development Slack Workspace (picked Cohort 10 for convenience)
  • [x] Go to the "OAuth & Permissions" section and click "Add a new Redirect URL" and add https://animebot.localtunnel.me/oauth.
• [x] Go to the "Slash Commands" section and click "Create a New Command"
  • [x] Command: /verifyconnection
  • [x] Request Url: https://animebot.localtunnel.me/command
  • [x] Short Description: Check connection to server.
• [x] Copy the Client ID and Client Secret information and store it into environment variables.
• [x] Register a route that handles GET request to a /oauth endpoint. We'll use this endpoint for handling the logic of the Slack oAuth process behind the app.
• [x] Register a route that handles a POST request to a /command endpoint and send back a simple responds to indicate that localtunnel is working.
• [x] Go to https://api.slack.com/docs/slack-button, scroll down to the "Add the Slack button " section where you can find a handy generator for a button that would allow anyone to add the new app. Make sure to request the commands scope, which is necessary to add our bundled slash command.
• [x] type in "/verifyconnection" in the slack channel that animebot has been integrated to invoke a response from index.js.
