---

You'll need a Rocket.Chat instance to test. See Rocket.Chat's docs on Creating Bot Users before you begin.

Easy deployment options coming soon.

See bbot.chat for get started guides.

Configure

All bBot settings require the BOT_ prefix on environment variables.

See Rocket.Chat's docs on Configuring Bot Environments for settings specific to the SDK.

Configs can be given from command line. Try node index.js -h for options.

They can also be set in package.json under the "bot" attribute. You should review all the package details and customise it to your own project details.

Development

You can run and interact with the bot directly in shell, for quick development.

Run node index.js -m shell to override Rocket.Chat as the message adapter.
