botkit_myjson_storage

Use myjson.com to store data for your BotKit bot.

Usage

To use this, first add it to your project by doing

npm install --save botkit_myjson_storage or yarn add botkit_myjson_store

Once it's installed, go to myjson.com and enter and save []. In the URL you'll be directed to, copy the bin ID. For example, the bin ID for http://myjson.com/mAy5q would be mAy5q.

Use it as demonstrated by the following example:

var yourController = Botkit.slackbot({
  storage: require('botkit_myjson_storage')({
    bin_id: 'THE_BIN_ID'
  })
})

From there, you should be able to use Botkit's documented storage functionality!

If you're actually going to end up using this for something fairly active -- and don't wanna overload/overtrust http://myjson.com, you can feel free to self-host an API that follows their specifications exactly, and then specify that you've done so by using it like:

var yourController = Botkit.slackbot({
  storage: require('botkit_myjson_storage')({
    endpoint: 'http://api.mycustomendpoint.com',
    bin_id: 'THE_BIN_ID'
  })
})
