This VK bot notifies all chat members when someone edits or deletes a message. The bot also shows message's old text (stored in a database for this purpose). Minor edits (with Damerau–Levenshtein distance up to 3) and non-textual edits are ignored.
You can run this bot on Heroku or any other server.
You will also need a MongoDB database. Provide it in the env variable AFH_DB_URL
(like AFH_DB_URL=mongodb://user:[email protected]/db-name
).
You can get a cloud MongoDB instance for free on https://www.mongodb.com/cloud (there's a web UI and VS Code plugin for editing data).
App configuration is stored as JSON in the database table singletons
. It looks like:
{
"_id": "config",
"access_token": "VK group API token here",
"logging": {
"version": 1,
"incremental": true,
"loggers": {
"karen": {
"level": "INFO"
}
}
}
}
It's also a good idea to create a TTL index to remove old messages from the DB.
