Synology Chat Incoming Webhook integration

This package helps with sending files to your Synology Chat. It uses the incoming webhook integration. This integration will provide you with an URL that allows the program to interact with a single channel. To upload local files, the package will open up a webserver that will server the files from a temporary directory under a random file name.

Usage

The easy way:

const { createSynoChatFileService } = 'synology-chat-incoming-webhook'
const chat = createSynoChatFileService();

// text
await chat.send("Sending a test message");

// local file
await chat.send({
	text: "Sending a test file",
	filePath: "c:\\temp\\my-file.txt"
});

// remote file
await chat.send({
	text: "Sending a file url",
	fileUrl: ""
});

// memory buffer
let buffer = Buffer.from("Hello world!", 'utf-8');
await chat.send({
	text: "Seding a buffer",
	buffer: buffer,
	bufferExtension: ".txt"
});

It will get the configuration from your environment variables or infer them:

Advanced

Create and configure you own service:

const { SynoChatFileService } = 'synology-chat-incoming-webhook'
const chat = new SynoChatFileService(
	8033,
	"http://192.168.1.13:8033",
	"{http or https}://{url or ip}/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.Chat.External&method=incoming&version=2&token=%22{your-token}%22"
)

Or don't use the file server:

const { SynoChatService } = 'synology-chat-incoming-webhook'
const chat = new SynoChatService(
	"{http or https}://{url or ip}/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.Chat.External&method=incoming&version=2&token=%22{your-token}%22"
)

How to get an incoming webhook

Local File Server

When sending a local file or a memory buffer, the following happens:

• When a local file or buffer is send to the chat, an express web server is started. It serves static files from a new temporary directory.
• The local file or buffer is copied to a new file in the temporary directory with a random file name.
• The URL is send to Synology. Synology will download the file from the web server.
• When the server is stopped, the directory will be deleted as well.
