Open Sing-Li opened 6 years ago
I think that's the main operating mode for botkit @Sing-Li, they asks for a token to be used with botkit studio, I don't think it's meant to work without it. Have you seem some example of a botkit bot working without the studio anywhere?
Actually, I think botKit existed before the studio.
And the main operating mode has always been nodejs package via npm ->
https://www.npmjs.com/package/botkit
... 55 versions since 3 years ago. And all their coding example / documentation still today talk of studio as being optional.
But, granted, we shouldn't go against what they want to push "mainstream" right now - their path to monetization. And so I'm fine with leaving this in. Especially if we can get an opinion from a botKit staff/community member.
The current sample DEFAULT bot requires a botkit studio registration key to operate.
We should consider replacing the bot with something that does not require this additional step (debatable if / when botkit guys join this project; perhaps not for the starter-kit but definitely for the npm-module)
