People's Bot

This is a bot that has a hodgepodge of commands. This was originally a way to prove out some simple functionalities.

Commands

Below is a list of all the commands supported. For more details on each one, read the section below.

Note: All of the commands are prefixed using !.

Command Description
!help Shows all the commands available
!help <command> Shows the help option for that specific command.
!<vaccine-type> <zipcode> Example vaccine command.
!pfizer 60601 Find all pfizer vaccine appointments within 5 miles of 60601 (Illinois).
!moderna 90210 Find all moderna vaccine appointmens within 5 miles of 90210 (California).
!jj 11201 Find all johnson & johnson vaccines within 5 miles of 11201 (New York).
!beach Starts a beach (OTR) session in the current channel. Only one can be active per channel. If no one reacts to the bot message, the conversation will be saved.
!gh Returns a link to the commit that is currently deployed.

COVID-19 Vaccine Finder

It's really easy to find a COVID-19 vaccine using this bot. You can search for a specific vaccine near your zip code by using the guide below. Currently, the pfizer, moderna and jj (Johnson & Johnson) vaccines are searchable.

This mimics the backend of https://vaccines.gov to render appointments.

Beach Sand

An off-the-record-like command. When invoked, this command sends a message to the channel, initiating the session and reacts to that message with an 🌊 reaction.

Any conversation that is had after that bot message will be eligible to be deleted until someone reacts to the original bot message with the 🌊 reaction.

This command lasts for about 10 minutes.

Github

This command specifically returns a link to the latest deploy SHA.

Installing in your Discord server

TODO

Development

This repo uses Ruby 3 and leverages discordrb to create a bot.

Every pull request must have a passing test suite.

To run the specs:

bundle exec rspec

Deployment

This repo is set to automatically deploy to Heroku when a pull request is merged into main.

If you'd like to deploy this to your own personal Heroku instance, you will need the following environment variables:

  • DISCORD_BOT_CLIENT_TOKEN
  • DISCORD_BOT_CLIENT_ID
  • MAPBOX_TOKEN
  • VACCINE_API_URL
  • PROVIDER_URL

NOTE: Discordrb::Commands::CommandBot uses websockets to connect to Discord. When deploying to Heroku, make sure the application has worker dynos enabled so that the application does not shutdown.

Optional

When the bot is initializing, it uses the two following environment variables to set it's own status:

  • HEROKU_SLUG_COMMIT - the SHA of the deployed code
  • HEROKU_RELEASE_VERSION - the release version of the code
