Install
npm install --save hubot-slack-allowlist-middleware
Register
In external-scripts.json add
"hubot-slack-allowlist-middleware"
This is meant for Slack, but might work with any adapter that exposes the current channel via context.response.envelope.room.
There are two ways to set a allowlist:
| Environment Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
HUBOT_ALLOWLIST |
A comma separated list (no spaces). | random,general |
HUBOT_ALLOWLIST_PATH |
Set the path (relative to your hubot directory) to a json/js/coffee file that returns an array of allowlisted channels. |
allowlist.json |
HUBOT_ALLOWLIST_DEBUG |
Enable additional debug logging when set | true |
