CigawretteBot

CigawretteBot is a Twitter bot that listens for the command "@cigawrettebot render " and generates an image of a cigawrette with the specified phrase. The bot then tweets the image on its Twitter account.

Usage

To use CigawretteBot, you can mention its Twitter handle @cigawrettebot in a tweet and include the command render in the text. For example:

@cigawrettebot render Hello, world!

CigawretteBot will then generate an image with the phrase "Hello, world!" on it and tweet it on its account.

Customization

You can test the text placement by editing the putLabel function in utils.js and then running

node renderImage.js

Deployment

To deploy CigawretteBot, you need to fill out the following variables in a .env file:

CONSUMER_KEY=YourTwitterAPIconsumerkey
CONSUMER_SECRET=YourTwitterAPIconsumersecret
TOKEN=YourTwitterAPIaccesstoken
TOKEN_SECRET=YourTwitterAPIaccesstokensecret
BEARER_TOKEN=YourTwitterAPIbearertoken

You can obtain these credentials by creating a Twitter developer account and creating a new app.

Once you have set up the .env file, you can run the bot by executing the following command:

node renderBot.js

This will start the bot, which will listen for incoming tweets and generate and tweet images as specified. You can run this command on a server or a hosting platform such as Heroku to keep the bot running 24/7.

Heroku CLI

heroku login
heroku create -t cigbot
heroku local web
heroku config:set $(cat .env | sed '/^$/d; /#[[:print:]]*$/d')
git push heroku main
heroku logs --tail
