hubot-schedule-msg

hubot-schedule

Inspired by & based on: hubot-schedule But I think it's BETTER!

I build this to fit with my rocket.chat, but I guess it will work (with some bugs) on other platform. ES6 so it's easily to maintenance.

Features

• Send direct message to someone & me.
• Use dots instead of asterisks in cron pattern to avoid markdown parsing.
• Schedule list only show to author not others, hence you can only see your schedules.
• Free format for date, it's impossible to cover all cases, but some.
• Receive message as chain, so you can use this to do other things with bot (My hubot-hook for example)
• Each user has only 500 schedules per one.

And actually... I don't remember all.

TODO: [] Create built file instead of using direct babel compile. [] Recheck the error handling & error emit. [] Bug fixes.
