docker-steem-bot-template

Template/Example project for creating steem bots with nodejs.

This is a template project just to get developer started in developing steem bots and quickly testing/executing.

It's also useful for getting non-technical people to run their own steem bots.

What You Get (the stack)

The example project (included) uses:

Library	Version	Purpose
bluebird	^3.5.1	Promises
expressjs	^4.16.2	Web framework and routing
promised-handlebars	^2.0.1	Templating
momentjs	^2.20.1	Date/Time abstraction layer
steemjs	^0.7.1	Steem API Library
node-schedule	^1.3.0	Task scheduling

Web Layer

This project adds a web layer to bots allowing the user to interface with bot configuration even when the process is backgrounded without having to restart.

Scheduling Layer

There is an example case for scheduling a task. It's amazeballs!
