I built NovaBot, a NestJS/TypeScript Slack bot usin Socket Mode and Axios for external API data. The main challenge was configuring Slack API authentification and setting up environmental variables cleaanly. I’m most proud of structuring a complete application from scratch with 4 working commands and a clear README. To test it, clone repo, run npm install, add your SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and SLACK_APP_TOKEN to a .env file, and start it with node index.js.

Built the /novabot-joke and /novabot-catfact commands using Axios for API requests. The trickiest part was configuring Slack’s Socket Mode in NestJS so the bot could receive payload events instantly without setup of a public webhook endpoint. After a few structural adjustments with the @slack/bolt lifecycle, all four slash commands are responding with 0-1ms delay
