A Slack Bot called Dumbledore that lets your team join houses and award house points.

• clone this reposity to the machine you want to run the server on.
• If you do not have node >= 7.0.0 and npm installed on your machine install it
• in the dumbledore directory run:

$ npm install
$ cp ./data/dumbledore_sample.db ./data/dumbledore.db

To run the Dumbledore you must have an API token to authenticate the bot on your slack channel. Once you get it (instructions on the next paragraph) you just have to run:

$ BOT_API_KEY={key} BOT_NAME={name} node bin/bot.js

To allow the Dumbledore to connect your Slack channel you must provide him an API key. To retrieve it you need to add a new Bot in your Slack organization by visiting the following url: https://yourorganization.slack.com/services/new/bot, where yourorganization must be substituted with the name of your organization (e.g. https://dumbledoretest.slack.com/services/new/bot). Ensure you are logged to your Slack organization in your browser and you have the admin rights to add a new bot.

You will find your API key under the field API Token, copy it in a safe place and get ready to use it.

Dumbledore is configurable through environment variables. There are several variable available:

• We recommend the nodemon:

$ npm install -g nodemon
$ cp ./.env_sample ./.env
// You need to change `.env`
$ npm run dev

• We use jasmine:

$ cp ./.env_sample ./.env
// You need to change `.env`
$ npm test

• We recommend the pm2:

$ npm install -g pm2
$ cp ./pm2_sample.json ./pm2.json
// You need to change `pm2.json`
$ pm2 start ./pm2.json

This bot was based off the work of lmammino and the norrisbot project. I created most of the bot in a few days, but this is still an early version and I recognize the code could be much inproved.
