Getting started

Install

npm install --save @broid/groupme

Connect to Groupme

const BroidGroupme = require('@broid/groupme');

const groupme = new BroidGroupme({
  username: '<your_sender_number>',
  token: '<your_groupme_token>',
  tokenSecret: '<your_groupme_token_secret>',
  http: {
    port: 8080,
    host: "0.0.0.0"
  }
});

groupme.connect()
  .subscribe({
    next: data => console.log(data),
    error: err => console.error(`Something went wrong: ${err.message}`),
    complete: () => console.log('complete'),
  });

Groupme can also be used with your existing express setup.

const BroidGroupme = require('broid-groupme');
const express = require("express");

const groupme = new BroidGroupme({
  username: '<your_sender_number>',
  token: '<your_groupme_token>',
  tokenSecret: '<your_groupme_token_secret>',
});

const app = express();
app.use("/groupme", groupme.getRouter());

groupme.connect()
  .subscribe({
    next: data => console.log(data),
    error: err => console.error(`Something went wrong: ${err.message}`),
    complete: () => console.log('complete'),
  });

app.listen(8080);

  "type": "Create",
  "generator": {
    "id": "f6e92eb6-f69e-4eae-8158-06613461cf3a",
    "type": "Service",
    "name": "groupme"

    "content": "hello world"
  },
  "to": {
    "id": "28728284",
    "type": "Person"
  }
};

groupme.send(formatted_message)
  .then(() => console.log("ok"))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
