BotStart CLI

No more complicated BotMan in Laravel setups.

The BotStart CLI helps you set up BotMan projects in Laravel. It provides a single command that automates the installation of BotMan dependencies, creates necessary BotMan files and configurations, and sets up a fresh Laravel project (of your choice or the latest one) if one is not already installed.

Installation

To install the BotStart CLI, you need to use Composer. Run the following command to download the BotStart CLI globally:

composer global require prevailexcel/botstart

Configuration

After installing, ensure that the $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin directory (or the equivalent directory for your operating system) is included in your $PATH. This allows your system to locate the botstart executable.

Creating a New Laravel and BotMan Project

Once the installer is set up, you can create a new Laravel and BotMan project using the botstart new {project-name} {laravel-version} command. Replace your_project_name with the desired name for your project:

botstart new your_project_name 10

For example, to create a project with Laravel 11 named weatherbot, you would run:

botstart new weatherbot 11

This command will create a directory named weatherbot containing a fresh Laravel 11 Project with everything you need to get started, including a Tinker.

If you already have a Laravel project started at that directory, it will go ahead to setupp botman for you there without any extra command.

To use the tinker, simply run

php artisan botman:tinker

BotStart installs a modified botman/tinker package which you can get here https://github.com/prevailexcel/botman-tinker.

Web Widget

This installer also gives you the webwidget to test your bot immediately. Simply run your project and go to the welcome or base url.

php artisan serve

Then go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 or whereever your project is served.

What exactly does it do?

  • Installs BotMan dependencies:
    • botman/botman
    • botman/driver-web
    • botman/driver-telegram
    • prevailexcel/botman-tinker: A modified version of botman/tinker, available here: prevailexcel/botman-tinker.
  • Creates necessary configuration files, including:
    • Routes
    • Controllers
    • Environment variables
  • Sets up BotMan's default route and includes a simple hello command.
  • Configures CSRF exceptions for BotMan in Laravel.

Documentation

You can find the BotMan and BotMan Studio documentation at http://botman.io.

If you want to thank me?

Why not star the github repo? I'd love the attention! Why not share the link for this repository on Twitter or HackerNews? Spread the word! Big Thanks to Marcel Pociot for creating the BotMan project. I simply want to make it a lot easier for more developers.

Thanks! Chimeremeze Prevail Ejimadu

BotStart CLI
No more complicated BotMan in Laravel setups.
The BotStart CLI helps you set up BotMan projects in Laravel. It provides a single command that automates the installation of BotMan dependencies, creates necessary BotMan files and configurations, and sets up a fresh Laravel project (of your choice or the latest one) if one is not already installed.
Installation
To install the BotStart CLI, you need to use Composer. Run the following command to download the BotStart CLI globally:
composer global require prevailexcel/botstart
Configuration
After installing, ensure that the $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin directory (or the equivalent directory for your operating system) is included in your $PATH. This allows your system to locate the botstart executable.
Creating a New Laravel and BotMan Project
Once the installer is set up, you can create a new Laravel and BotMan project using the botstart new {project-name} {laravel-version} command. Replace your_project_name with the desired name for your project:
botstart new your_project_name 10
For example, to create a project with Laravel 11 named weatherbot, you would run:
botstart new weatherbot 11
This command will create a directory named weatherbot containing a fresh Laravel 11 Project with everything you need to get started, including a Tinker.
If you already have a Laravel project started at that directory, it will go ahead to setupp botman for you there without any extra command.
To use the tinker, simply run
php artisan botman:tinker
BotStart installs a modified botman/tinker package which you can get here https://github.com/prevailexcel/botman-tinker.
Web Widget
This installer also gives you the webwidget to test your bot immediately. Simply run your project and go to the welcome or base url.
php artisan serve
Then go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 or whereever your project is served.
What exactly does it do?
  • Installs BotMan dependencies:

    • botman/botman
    • botman/driver-web
    • botman/driver-telegram
    • prevailexcel/botman-tinker: A modified version of botman/tinker, available here: prevailexcel/botman-tinker.
  • Creates necessary configuration files, including:

    • Routes
    • Controllers
    • Environment variables
  • Sets up BotMan's default route and includes a simple hello command.
  • Configures CSRF exceptions for BotMan in Laravel.
Documentation
You can find the BotMan and BotMan Studio documentation at http://botman.io.
If you want to thank me?
Why not star the github repo? I'd love the attention! Why not share the link for this repository on Twitter or HackerNews? Spread the word! Big Thanks to Marcel Pociot for creating the BotMan project. I simply want to make it a lot easier for more developers.
Thanks!
