Create Slack bots with Meteor!

slackbot.js

function slackpost(channel, name, text) {
  HTTP.post("https://q42.slack.com/services/hooks/incoming-webhook", {"params":
    {"token": "TODO: fill in token!",
     "payload": JSON.stringify({
       "channel": "#" + channel,
       "username": name,
       "text": text,
       "icon_emoji": (name.indexOf("bot") > -1 ? ":ghost:" : "")
      })
    }}
  );
}
if (Meteor.isServer) {
  Router.map(function () {
    var that = this;
    function command(name, body, hideCommand) {
      that.route(name, {
        where: 'server',
        path: '/' + name,
        
        action: function () {
          var p = this.params;
          if (!hideCommand)
            slackpost(p.channel_name, p.user_name, "/" + name + " " + p.text);
          body(function(t) { slackpost(p.channel_name, name + "bot", t) }, p.text, p);
          this.response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
          this.response.end(name + " command executed!");
        }
      })
    }
    
    command("hoi", function(post, text) {
      post("<http://static.q42.nl/images/employees/" + text + "gif.gif>");
    });
    
    command("stock", function(post, text) {
      post("<http://chart.finance.yahoo.com/t?s=" + text + "&lang=en-US&region=US&width=300&height=180>")
    });
    
  });
}

For meteor you'd probably want to replace HTTP by Meteor.http
