Line bot that checks if a message contains internet rumor.

This is a one of the sub-project of 真的假的。

This state diagram describes how the LINE bot talks to users:

Developing rumors-line-bot requires you to finish the following settings.

Please follow all the steps in LINE official tutorial.

First, install heroku toolbelt.

Create .env file, copy the template below and LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET, LINE_CHANNEL_TOKEN inside.

API_URL=https://cofacts-api.g0v.tw/graphql
LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET=<paste LINE@'s channel secret here>
LINE_CHANNEL_TOKEN=<paste LINE@'s channel token here>

Other customizable env vars are:

• REDIS_URL: If not given, redis://127.0.0.1:6379 is used.
• PORT: Which port the line bot server will listen at.
• GOOGLE_DRIVE_IMAGE_FOLDER: Google drive folder id is needed when you want to test uploading image.

We use Redis to store conversation context / intents. Please run a Redis server on your machine, or use the Heroku Redis's REDIS_URL directly if you happen to deploy the bot to Heroku.

You will need Node.JS 6+ and yarn to proceed.

$ yarn

With Heroku toolbelt installed, just do this:

$ heroku local

and the server will be started on localhost:5000. (Or the PORT you specified in your .env file.)

We recommend using ngrok to create a public address that directs the traffic from LINE server to your local machine. With ngrok in your path, just

$ ngrok http 5000

ngrok will give you a public URL. Use this to set the webhook URL of your Channel (See the section "Channel Console" in LINE official tutorial).

We recommend using ngrok configuration file to setup a tunnel with a fixed subdomain. In this way the public URL can be fixed (means no repeatitive copy-pasting to LINE Channel settings!) as long as the subdomain is not occupied by others.

First, follow the step1 in this url to get client_secret.json and save it to project root.

Second, run:

$ node authGoogleDrive.js

Visit the given url provided above. Get the auth code and paste it to console. Then the program will save your google drive access_token locally at ./.gdrive_access_token.

Make sure you've also set GOOGLE_DRIVE_IMAGE_FOLDER = folderID in .env file.

If you would like to start your own LINE bot server in production environment, this section describes how you can deploy the line bot to your own Heroku account.

You can deploy the line bot server to your own Heroku account by creating a Heroku app and push to it.

Despite the fact that we don't use Procfile, Heroku still does detection and installs the correct environment for us.

Provision a Heroku Redis addon to get redis. It sets the env var REDIS_URL for you.

You will still have to set the following config vars manually:

$ heroku config:set API_URL=https://cofacts-api.g0v.tw/graphql
$ heroku config:set SITE_URL=https://cofacts.g0v.tw
$ heroku config:set LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET=<Your channel secret>
$ heroku config:set LINE_CHANNEL_TOKEN=<Your channel token>
$ heroku config:set BOTIMIZE_API_KEY=<Your botimize API Key (optional)>
