Introduction

AXB is a lightweight wrapper around go-keybase-chat-bot (https://github.com/keybase/go-keybase-chat-bot/) which slightly simplifies the process of building a keybase bot. See the example below for how to get started.

Example

import (
	"os"
	"github.com/AndrewBudd/axb"
)

var commands = map[string]axb.BotCommand{
	"hello": {
		doHello, // function that handles the hello command
		false,    // does this function require an admin user?
	},
}

var admins = []string{"andrewbudd"}

func doHello(bot *axb.Bot, msg *kbchat.SubscriptionMessage, args []string) error {
	return bot.ReplyTo(msg, "Hello yourself!")
}

func main() {
	axb.NewBot(os.Getenv("KEYBASE_DEBUG_TEAM"), os.Getenv("KEYBASE_LOCATION"), commands, admins)
	select {}
}

built-in commands

The bot includes a number of built in commands, specifically

• help - prints all of the installed commands that you have access to
• printadmins - prints all of the admin users
• addadmin - adds an admin user
• removeadmin - removes an admin user
• shutdown - shuts down the bot

Credits

Credit where it is due, this only works because it is built upon the awesome underlying kbchat package from the keybase folks, and I received some great input from @xgess as a reference.
