Drag Race Facts can answer questions about any of the queens and seasons from RuPaul's Drag Race.

This Alexa skill is open source and so if you have a question that isn't currently supported, you can put an issue on our GitHub page or even add the functionality yourself!

The GitHub page is found at https://github.com/calum/alexa-drag-race-skill.

This skill is built using the No Key No Shade drag race API.

  1. What season was Katya in?
  2. Who were the top three in all stars two?
  3. When is the next episode of Drag Race?

Structure

The configuration for translating the users questions into intents is defined in config/intents.json along with other configuration files for Alexa. These files in the config directory are merged together into build/models.json when running npm run build.

main.js is the entry point for the application and users questions are passed to the handles in src/handlers.js.

The api requests are all defined in src/drag_race/ directory. For API calls to The TVDB, you must set the environment variable TVDB_API_KEY. You can register an API key here.

The resources/ directory will hold some useful files for other parts of the application. For instance, the list of available drag queen names is taken from a file in resources/ and used to generate the intent slots for Alexa.

The build/ directory will hold files which must be manually uploaded onto the Alexa application page on amazon's website.

Questions that Alexa can answer

Continuous Deployment

Any commits to the master branch with a git tag, will trigger travis to deploy a new version to AWS Lambda. Pull requests will be automatically tested by travis but won't be deployed.

Testing and linting

ESLint is the chosen linter and mocha the chosen testing framework. Istanbul is used to generate the code coverage reports. npm test will run the linter and then the tests together. npm run lint will run just the linter - for when you want to quickly check a file for typos.

See the testing README file in test/ for a more detailed explanation on the testing.

Monitoring

The GitHub extension, Rollbar is used to monitor any errors or logs from the alexa skill. The monitoring dashboard can be found here.

When an error is logged, a issue is raised automatically by Rollbar.
