Build and Static Analysis

Installation

In hubot project repo, run:

npm install hubot-barkeep --save

Then add hubot-barkeep to your external-scripts.json:

[
  "hubot-barkeep"
]

Configuration

The following configuration is required in order to run the yelp script:

HUBOT_UNTAPPD_CLIENT_ID       # The Untappd API client ID
HUBOT_UNTAPPD_CLIENT_SECRET   # The Untappd API client secret

All of these should be configured using the API keys given to you when you signed up for an Untappd Developer API account.

Sample Interaction

The hubot-barkeep package gives your hubot the ability to search for new and exciting beers to try next time you go out. For example, if you're a fan of stout, ask your bot to beer you some stout by typing hubot beer me stout:

<You> hubot beer me stout
<hubot> Give this beer a try:
<hubot> Stone Brewing Co. Coffee Milk Stout
<hubot> Stout - Milk / Sweet
<hubot> URL: http://www.stonebrewing.com/

Mmmmm... Coffee stout.

Let's say that types of beer aren't really your style and you just like beers from certain breweries. The Untappd API allows you to search for beer based on a brewery or a beer type. Try replacing stout with boulevard:

<You> hubot beer me boulevard
<hubot> Give this beer a try:
<hubot> Boulevard Brewing Co. Collaboration No. 5 - Tropical Pale Ale
<hubot> Pale Ale - American
<hubot> URL: http://www.boulevard.com/

Tropical Pale Ale huh? I might have to try that sometime.

Untappd will get upset if you don't provide it a term or if you provide it a term that it doesn't recognize:

<You> hubot beer me asdljfkhsdlkjfh
<hubot> Couldn't find a beer for you. Try again.
<You> hubot beer me
<hubot> Error occurred: 500 error text: You didn't search for anything! Please try again.

Just be sure to provide the script a term it can use to search with and everything will be ok.
