:botkit: Introducing #BotKit: …
:botkit: Introducing #BotKit: A #TypeScript framework for creating truly standalone #ActivityPub bots! Unlike traditional Mastodon bots, BotKit lets you build fully independent #fediverse bots that aren't constrained by platform limits. Create your entire bot in a single TypeScript file using our simple, expressive API. Currently #Deno-only, with Node.js & Bun support planned. Built on the robust #Fedify foundation. <https://bokit.fedify.dev/>

import { createBot, InProcessMessageQueue, MemoryKvStore, mention, text, } from "@fedify/botkit"; // Create a bot instance: const bot = createBot<void>({ // The bot will have fediverse handle "@greetbot@mydomain": username: "greetbot", // Set the display name: name: "Greet Bot", // Set the profile icon (avatar): icon: new URL("https://mydomain/icon.png"), // Set the bio: summary: text`Hi, there! I'm a simple fediverse bot created by ${ mention("@hongminhee@hollo.social")}.`, // Store data in memory (for development): kv: new MemoryKvStore(), // Use in-process message queue (for development): queue: new InProcessMessageQueue(), }); // A bot can respond to a mention: bot.onMention = async (session, message) => { await message.reply(text`Hi, ${message.actor}!`); }; // Or, a bot also can actively publish a post: const session = bot.getSession("https://mydomain/"); setInterval(async () => { await session.publish(text`Hi, forks! It's an hourly greeting.`); }, 1000 * 60 * 60); export default bot;
