To implement the second point, we need to revisit our Bot class and add mention functionality. In the Bot class' constructor, replace the RTM_CONNECTION_OPENED event listener block with the following:
this.slack.on(CLIENT_EVENTS.RTM.RTM_CONNECTION_OPENED, () => {
let user = this.slack.dataStore.getUserById(this.slack.activeUserId)
let team = this.slack.dataStore.getTeamById(this.slack.activeTeamId);
this.name = user.name;
this.id = user.id;
console.log(`Connected to ${team.name} as ${user.name}`);
});The only change here is the addition of the bot's id to the this object. This will help us later. Now, replace the respondTo function with this:
respondTo(opts, callback, start) {
if (!this.id) {
// if this.id doesn't exist, wait for slack to connect
// before continuing
this.slack.on(CLIENT_EVENTS.RTM.RTM_CONNECTION_OPENED, () => {
createRegex(this.id, this.keywords);
});
} else {
createRegex(this.id, this.keywords);
}
function...
