nobot

Mini app that emulates chat window with bot and BotAPI server of NambaOne.
May come handy for testing your own made bots cause testing with real device and real server requires “white” IP address server to host your bot.

usage

change your bot’s api endpoint from https://api.namba1.co to http://127.0.0.1:3000/api
set bot_host in settings.json so the server could send events to your bot
start your bot
run nobot with following commands npm or yarn (latter is recommended)

yarn or npm install
yarn build or npm run build
yarn serve or npm run serve

Open http://127.0.0.1:3000 in your browser

You’ll see chat window. From there you can send events such as user/follow, user/unfollow and mainly message/new by sending message.

Every event is handled by the server and sent to your bot’s endpoint
As your bot responds everything would be sent back to your browser
If your bot sends message by using chats/:chat_id/write all it’s content will appear as bot’s message in your chat window. If message type is media/image, image will be downloaded from actual namba1 servers and shown in your chat window as regular image

All other information about request sent by your bot will be logged in default browser console log, this information includes:

method
uri
headers
get params
post params
