Just postponed my thought to make a chat bot for our internal gitlab

I planned to make a simple chat bot for our company that notifies the person when someone assign him a PR in gitlab to review. Yesterday night I made a quick feasibility study and ditched my plan.

The internal chat system of Cubet is implemented in Rocket.Chat.

I made a curl https://team.cubettech.in/api/v1/info (internal chat lives here) which resulted in:

{"version":"0.34.0","build":{"date":"2016-08-... }...}


When I checked with their docs, most required apis are implemented in or later v0.54.0 (our version is v0.34.0).

We can do some hacks by inspecting the network and find how the app send a message and mock it. But it doesn't worth my time.

I'll reconsider this once they update their chat system.

Talky Messenger Documentation & Setup

( Github ) Just created a chat app that runs in Node and Socket. the attempt was worthy. Talky is a messenger app built with Node, Express, Socket, Angular & Bootstrap. It's like a server-client structure. (But obviously not like the one we done at OS lab using shared memory). It has a broadcasting structure. Talky does not keep a log on chat. i.e., It doesn't have a memory or database. When we close the browser window, chat history is lost. There I also added a basic console, protected by a password, to send real-time notifications to active clients. The name 'Talky' was suggested by a friend of mine. (hey, thank you for that. The fact is that I am not really good at naming...😝) What if sometimes your college blocks WhatsApp? Try Talky. ( There is also a website on internet in the name of 'Talky' which has no connection with this one. ) Download Talky Messenger To use Talky, all you need is 3 things: Node server Source code...

How to install Node.js

Installing Node in Windows Installing node in Windows is pretty easy. To install Node you should be aware of your Windows bit version(32-bit / 64-bit). To know that, right click 'computer'>Properties. There you will find the bit version of the OS you are using. Now you know about the version of the OS you are using. - Head to nodes official website ( nodejs.org ) and download the msi for your version. - I recommend opting the LTS version of node. (if you have any suggestions, let me know.) - Install node with default recommended configuration. Installing Node in Linux/ Ubuntu This article will help you :  https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/ If you don't have curl in your system, use terminal to: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install curl Source:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/259681/the-program-curl-is-currently-not-installed

How to pass variables to res.render() in Node.js

I was trying to figure out how to render a view inside a view, as I was stuck with this issue. Horrible Effects of Misplaced Extensions ;) I was using Node.js platform with ejs template engine. My index.ejs file has an included header.ejs file. Everything works well except that I can't pass values to the variable status in header.ejs. Here is my abstract code... index.ejs header.ejs app.js The most funniest solution ever! The solution is as easy as this. Just remove .ejs extension from the include command. I spent at least an entire night to figure it out.
