Hubot At Events Plugin

This plugin is the brother of hubot-cron-events but specialised in one-time events triggered at a given time.

Work in progress - this plugin is ready for use but still very experimental.

Installation

In your hubot directory:

npm install hubot-at-events --save

Then add hubot-at-events to external-scripts.json

Configuration

If you use hubot-auth, the plugin configuration commands will be restricted to user with the admin role.

If hubot-auth is not loaded, all users can access those commands. You can use those variables to tune things up a bit.

• HUBOT_AT_NOAUTH - if defined, it will bypass the need to be admin to use the .at commands
• HUBOT_AT_AUTH_GROUP - if defined it will permit group specified to use the .at commands

It's also advised to use a brain persistence plugin, whatever it is, to persist the cron jobs between restarts.

Commands

Note: until version 1.0.0, this readme is a roadmap, not a real documentation. This is a Readme-driven development approach.

Commands prefixed by .at or .in are here taking in account we use the . as hubot prefix, just replace it with your prefix if it is different. Uncommented commands are just not yet implemented.

.at version
    gives the version of the hubot-at-events package loaded

.at <date> [in <tz>] [run <name>] do <event> [with param1=value1]
    schedules triggering of <event> at given <date>
    - <date> has to be in the future
    - params can be provided to be transmitted to the <event>
    - if you don't provide a <name> for the action (using 'run <name>')
      then a random name will be attributed to it,
      as it's needed for later cancellation or modification
    - if no <tz> is provided, the server tz will be applied

.at <date> [in <tz>] [run <name>] say [in #<room>] <message>
    same as above, except that the event will be 'at.message'
    - if the <room> is omitted, it will be set to the room 
      where the command is done
    - the action will be given a random name.

.at <date> [in <tz>] [run <name>] say [to <username>] <message>
    same as above, except that the message will be said to the <username> in private

.in <number> <unit> [run <name>] do <event> [with param1=value1]
    same as with .at command, but using time relative to now
    acceptable units are
    - s, sec, second, seconds
    - m, min, minute, minutes
    - h, hour, hours
    - d, day, days
    - w, week, weeks
    - month, months
    - y, year, years
    For the rest, it behaves exactly like the .at command

.in <number> <unit> [run <name>] say [in #<room>] <message>
    same as above, except that the message will be said to the <username> in private

.in <number> <unit> [run <name>] say [to <username>] <message>

.at enable <name>
    activate an action that was previously disabled

.at disable <name>
    disable an action but without deleting it, so it can be re-enabled later

.at list [<term>]
    will list all actions matching <term>
    if no <term> is provided, it will just list all actions

.at cancel <name>
    removes the action, all data about it will be lost

.at <name> with <key> = <value>

.at <name> drop <key>

Some events receivers are also provided for testing purposes:

at.message
    requires data:
    - room
    - message
    it will just say the message in the given room

Testing

npm install

# will run make test and coffeelint
npm test 

# or
make test

# or, for watch-mode
make test-w

# or for more documentation-style output
make test-spec

# and to generate coverage
make test-cov

# and to run the lint
make lint

# run the lint and the coverage
make
