webchat-cli v1.4.1

webchat-cli

CLI tool for webchat. Can be used for the management of valve, application and channels.

Install webchat CLI

$ sudo npm i -g webchat-cli

General Commands

Init

Sets controlled webchat api url

$ webchat init

Login

A login is needed for the valve related write operations and all channel/application operations. The command asks for a username and a password and after a successful authorization stores an access token received from the API locally (OAuth2). The default validity of the token is one hour. There is a different user for valve (my_username) and for channels/applications (crud).

$ webchat login

History

The CLI stores the history of write operations. This history may be displayed using:

$ webchat history

The commands are stored in the history in a normlized form (e. g. even if we use an interactive version of the command the command stored in the history is the non-interactive one with the same effect).

Valve operations

Get current valve config

$ webchat valve-ls

Set Valve Config

Set Business Hours Probability

$ webchat valve-set businessHours 0.2

Override Current Value

$ webchat valve-set valve.overrideCurrent " -1"

Delete Valve Config

Delete Business Hours probability

$ webchat valve-delete valve.businessHours

Channel Operations

Modify Channel

$ webchat channel-mod -w +http://localhost:3000 CHANNEL

Application Operations
