Hubot Remind Her

Hubot script to manage reminders in a relaxed friendly syntax.

Features

• Both relative ("in 5 minutes") and absolute ("tomorrow 5 pm") time specification.
• Relaxed syntax. It simply DWYM (Does what you mean) without expecting much grammar.
• Uses friendly relative date in the confirmation message.
• Recurrent reminders.
• Listing and deleteing existing reminders.

Installation

Install the npm package

npm install mx4492/hubot-remind-her --save

and add hubot-remind-her to external-scripts.json

[ "hubot-remind-her" ]

Note: This script will not work in conjuction with remind.coffee and hubot-remind-at, so disable them if you are enabling this.

Remember to set your timezone correctly. For example, on heroku you need to run heroku config:set TZ="foo"

Usage

If it is prefixed with remind, and ends with to <something>, and has a date in between, it'll work.

> hubot remind me in every 10 minutes to have fun
> hubot remind me tomorrow 10 PM to eat
> hubot remind me at 18 Feb to be alive
> hubot remind me every Tuesday to watch pogo
> hubot list reminders
> hubot delete reminder 1

To get detailed help about the sort of time strings supported, see the chrono homepage.

Tests

The first time around, you'll need to install the necessary development dependencies required to run the tests:

npm install

Subsequently, you can run the tests using:

npm test

History/Credits

This is a spiritual successor of the remind.coffee and the hubot-remind-at scripts, combining their functionality, making the command syntax more flexible, and the bot's responses more friendly. All thanks to the awesomeness of chrono and moment.js.

Bugs

• Reminders longer that 24 days in the future are immediately triggered (Reference).
