lita-static-meme

lita-static-meme is a handler for Lita that allows you to respond to arbitrary regular expressions with given images.

There are existing gems that dynamically generate memes from given snippets of text, but sometimes you just want Lita to respond to a particular phrase with a static image. One approach would be to write a separate handler for each phrase / image pair, but wouldn't you rather just specify a mapping between regular expressions and URLs? (I would!)

As per usual, add that puppy to your Gemfile:

gem 'lita-static-meme'

Lita.configure do |config|
  ...
  config.handlers.static_meme.mapping = {
    /ship it/i => "https://skitch-img.s3.amazonaws.com/20111026-r2wsngtu4jftwxmsytdke6arwd.png", # specify a single response image...
    /deal with it/i => ["http://i.imgur.com/ykDuU.gif", "http://i.imgur.com/3PWHn.gif"] # ...or a set to randomly choose from
  }
  ...
end

Given the configuration above:
