Gitlab Bot

The purpose of the gitlab bot is to automate trivial tasks in project management using gitlab. This project is heavily inspired by ProBot.

At the hart of this bot is a plugin system. This can be used to register actions which should be triggered by certain events e.g. creating an issue.

Install

$ npm install --save gitlab-bot my-awesome-gitlab-bot-plugin and-another-one

Usage

After installing the plugins and gitlab bot itself, you need to tell the bot which plugins to load via the package.json.

{
	"name": "my-gitlab-bot-project",
	"version": "1.0.0",
	...
	"gitlab-bot": {
		"plugins": [
		    "my-awesome-gitlab-bot-plugin",
		    "and-another-one"
		]
	}
}

Development

Implementierung --- Just some notes of the developers

[x] vorbereiten der Infrastruktur: Eintragen des Servers für Events im Gitlab; minimaler Webserver zum Testen, ob die Requests ankommen

[x] Parsen der Events und definieren der Eventschnittstelle; erstes kleines, noch nicht ausgelagertes Plugin

[x] Umsetzen der Pluginstruktur ähnlich wie in Probot

[ ] Umwandeln des ersten "Plugins" in ein "richtiges" Plugin
