Pocket Cafe List LINE bot

Readme still in progress...

A simple LINE bot that lets you save nearest cafes in your pocket. Simply create data.json under data/ following the example.json, and see data/README.md for more.

Features

• Data is decoupled from code/control flow, thus making both easier to maintain
• Supports chat history feature, so if you created a back button on any flex message (or simply just typed back in the chat), we can retrieve previously sent message
• If the text entered by the user does not correspond to any key in data/data.json, the home card will be returned
