Slack bridge

This project is a small NodeJS bot which will make a bridge between an IRC channel and a Slack channel.

How to use

First, create a file called slack_token.txt. In this file you will want to add the token for the slack bot integration. For the pixelbar you can get this token here

There are several values you can set in the index.js. These values are:

• irc_channel: The IRC channel you're connecting to
• slack_id: The ID of the bot in the slack channel
• slack_channel: The slack channel you're connecting to

How to run

Clone this repo, make sure you've updated slack_token.txt and run the following commands

npm install
node bundle 

How to build

You need to run webpack to compile the typescript files. For more information, see https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/react-&-webpack.html

First you need to install typescript and webpack globally

npm install -g webpack typescript
npm install

Afterwards you can simply run this in the root directory

webpack

This should transpile all typescript files into bundle.js. After this you can simply run node bundle to run the bot.
