Provides a suggested order for members of a channel doing a virtual standup. It grabs a list of members in the channel from which the slash command was called, and returns them in a randomized list, sometimes after having applied some fun text transformations.
You'll need a slackbot with the following scopes/permissions added:
channels:read
chat:write
commands
users:read
In your environment (shell, etc.) you'll need these variables set:
export LTR_SLACK_API_TOKEN='xoxb-[etc.]' # your slack bot API token which slack uses to validate requests coming from your app
export LTR_LOCAL_TOKEN='somerandomsecret' # your locally set token which this app uses to validate requests coming from slack
You'll also need:
- to invite your bot to any private channel you'd want to use it from
- a slash command set up to point to the public URL of wherever you've
got it deployed, plus your locally-set app token passed to the token
argument. For example, if you had your token set to yay and app being
served from
http://deployed.wow/ltr/
, this would yield a successful query:http://deployed.wow/ltr/?token=yay
In the command itself, you can specify a transformation by passing
leet
, shifted
, nicknames
, or one of the other functions
registered in transformations.py โ or no
transformation by passing normal
. Without specifying, the command
follows the default behavior of choosing a random transformation half
the time.
If you're doing development on this application, use poetry to manage Python packages, but make sure to run
poetry export -o requirements.txt
for deployment purposes, if there are any changes to poetry.lock
.
If you want to add transformations, you can put them in
transformations.py and decorate them with
@register
.
The few doctests present so far can be exercised by running poetry run pytest
.
