Simplert

Simple way to send alerts via Slack, Email, Discord, SMS, etc. Simplert is currently geared towards personal and smaller apps where you just want a simple way to alert on some event like when a new user signs up. I would advise against using this in any critical production apps as of now.

Getting Started

1. Install simplert: npm install simplert
2. Generate simplert configuration file: npx simplert generate-config

Simplert Configuration File

{
  "discord": {
    "enabled": false,
    "token": "",
    "send_to": ""
  }
}

enabled - whether you want this type of alerting enabled or not token - the token of your discord bot send_to - the name of the discord channel you want to send your alerts too. Make sure your bot has permission on the server to send messages

Usage

Note: Make sure you have setup your configuration file

Web Server

const express = require("express")
const app = express();
const simplert = require("simplert");
simplert.configure("simplert.cfg.json")

app.get("/test", async (req, res) => {
  simplert.discord("server test")
  res.send("alert sent")
})

app.listen(8849, "127.0.0.1", (req, res) => {
  console.log("listening at localhost:8849")
})

Script

const simplert = require("simplert");
simplert.configure("simplert.cfg.json")

async function run() {
  await simplert.discord("some event")
  await simplert.discord("some other event")
}

run();

Supported Alerts

• Discord

Email, Slack, SMS coming eventually

Bugs and Improvements

Please open an issue on the repo to report any bugs or improvements as I am sure there are. I would consider this still in beta and not to be used in any critical production apps rather used for personal projects that you just want some simple alerting on.
