I need your help because it's the first time that I develop a Slack bot and I don't understand why this message appear:
const botSlack = new Slackbot ({
^
TypeError: Slackbot is not a constructor
Here my code : slack.js
const {Slackbot} = require('@slack/bolt');
const botSlack = new Slackbot({
token : process.env.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
signingSecret: process.env.SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET,
});
(async () => {
await botSlack.start(process.env.PORT || 3000);
})();
Part of my package.json:
"scripts": {
"dev": "nodemon slack.js",
},
"dependencies": {
"@slack/bolt": "^3.11.0",
},
In the bolt documentation (https://api.slack.com/tutorials/hello-world-bolt) and others, it's the same and it's run.
Please someone can explain to me why ?
CodePudding user response:
The documentation has this code - App
instead of Slackbot
. You can rename the local variable if you want, but the import statement requires the exact name:
const { App } = require('@slack/bolt');
const botSlack = new App({
token: process.env.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
signingSecret: process.env.SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET
});
(async () => {
await botSlack.start(process.env.PORT || 3000);
})();
if you do want to rename the value, you can use
const { App: Slackbot } = require('@slack/bolt');
It is more common to use import statements for this, you can still alias it using import { App as Stackbot} from '@slack/bolt'
, see MDN - import
