Good Day Slack Bot - Azure Functions

Full writeup for this project is here: https://github.com/githubocto/good-day-bot

Good Day is a Slack bot that pings users every day and asks how their day was. It depends on these Azure functions for cron job tasks.

Development

1. brew tap azure/functions && brew install azure-functions-core-tools@3

2. Create a local.settings.json with the following content:

{
  "IsEncrypted": false,
  "Values": {
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "", // get automatically from VSCode Debug panel
    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "node",
    "GH_API_KEY": "YOUR PAT GOES HERE", // get from good-day-bot account on GitHub
    "PG_CONN_STRING": "", // get from 1 password using table goodday
    "SLACKBOT_API_URL": "https://octo-devex.ngrok.io" or "https://octo-good-day-bot.azurewebsites.net/",
    "AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ID": "", // API Key ID for slack server
    "AZURE_FUNCTIONS_SECRET": "" // API Key secret for slack server
  }
}

3. In VSCode go to the Debug panel and click on Attach to Node Functions then select the Azure storage account to use for debugging octogooddaystorage.

4. npm install

5. npm run watch and npm run start in another tab

Building / Releasing

Deployment to the production app happens automatically when pushing to main by using a GitHub Action specified in .github/workflows/good-day.yaml.

Or use the Azure Functions for dev testing work.

In both cases you also have to set the env variables for the Azure app through the app's configuration panel.
