COVID-19 Status Reporter

Send a report to slack channel or user with the latest status updates about COVID-19 on each country

COVID19-status-reporter requires Node.js version 9 or above

How it works

1. Run yarn install to download the dependencies.

2. Create a .env file with the environment variables that are needed for the service. You can copy/paste the .env.example file and change the values:

   • SLACK_API_TOKEN: The slack token that you can get once you create a slack application under the OAuth & Permissions menu.
   • CRON_PATTERN: Cron expression, for example, this pattern */5 * * * * is gonna send a message every 5 seconds. You can learn more about cron here
   • PORT: The port where the application is gonna run
   • TIMEZONE: To let the cronjob knows which timezone is gonna use. You can get the timezone values from here

3. Create a slack_config.json, we are gonna use this config file to know what type of data are we gonna send for each channel or user added in the json file. You can check the slack_config.example.json file to know what is the structure to follow.

4. Run yarn build so that to create the production bundle inside the build folder.

5. Start up the server, I recommend PM2 (pm2 start build/index.js) but you can use your favourite one ;)

Types allowed (slack_config.json)

TOP10_COUNTRIES
