Taskbot

Not ready for people to use, still experimenting would love help

Accept text, possibly from a stream, and parse for commands to then execute. For each command found, that command should be run through an array of parsers. Commands should be extracted from the message body. Commands/Parsers should be run sequentially so the message body may be modified in the process -- similar to express/connect style functions.

Install

npm install taskbot

Initial Spec

• taskbot:
  • accepts:
    • [x] messages as text/plain
    • [x] messages as streams
    • [x] messages as buffers
  • commands
    • [x] # as inline command
    • [ ] consider adding parsing via commander (somehow)
    • [ ] can accept list (considering similar to yaml list)
    • [ ] get sent through different parsers based on command name or regex
      • analogous with express routes
    • [x] are filtered out of text body automatically
      • [ ] make toggle for this in initialization object
  • parsers
    • [x] parses commands through array of parsers
    • [x] each parser is triggered on a keyword/command

#Additional Ideas

• [ ] post message receive hook: If I am sending emails at x time, run task y
• [ ] add headers to messages for things like webpages and emails
• [ ] add some email parser from npm, I don't want to split and decode email bodies on my own
• [ ] add html to txt email converter to prevent issues
