# Plerobuddies
|
||||
|
||||
Yay! (TODO)
|
||||
Yay! **Working examples** say more than a 1000 words:
|
||||
|
||||
- [@acvilagers@chat.brainbaking.com](https://chat.brainbaking.com/@acvillagers)
|
||||

|

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Mastodon/Pleroma Buddies (bots)
|
||||
|
||||
Execute through `yarn toot` or `yarn node src/chat.js`. It cycles through all configured "buddies" and toots a message accordingly. Use your favorite `crontab` timestamp to fire off toots automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating a new buddy
|
||||
|
||||
Create a directory in `src/buddies/` and add it to `config.js` using the same name. Each buddy should have a `buddy.js` with one exposed method called `chat`, which gets executed with a config parameter. Look at the examples for more information. End the file with something like `module.exports = { chat }`.
|
||||
|
||||
The function `chat` should create a "toot", with the following structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
"toot": "hi there buddy!",
|
||||
"attach": [ "file1.jpg", "file2.jpg" ],
|
||||
"attachDescription": `Screenshots of game x`
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
An `attach` and its description are optional. Newlines using `\n` in a toot are allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuring the buddies
|
||||
|
||||
See `config.sample.js`. A config file should expose `buddies` as an array with the following structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
name: "buddyname", // same as the dir name
|
||||
instance: "https://mastodon.social", // where to post to
|
||||
oauthToken: "my-token" // the oauth token for that server/user to post the status with
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Optional config flags can be used in the chat function if desired.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to get an OAuth token from a Masto?Pleroma instance?
|
||||
|
||||
I've prepared a few utility functions in `registerApp.js` for you. First, call `await register()`, which prints an URL to go to. Next, fill in the client id, secret, and returned token, after granting the app access to read and write. Then, call `await fetchToken()`. Paste that token in the config file. Done!
|
||||
|
||||
Token refreshing is not (yet) implemented. Most tokens are valid for a year or so. Who knows what'll happen then.
