Steps

  1. Install dependencies
npm install @databite/server @databite/engine @databite/connectors @databite/types
npm install express helmet express-rate-limit
  1. Configure environment
# .env.local
SLACK_CLIENT_ID=your-slack-client-id
SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET=your-slack-client-secret
SLACK_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3001/auth/slack/callback
  1. Run the server
import { DatabiteServer } from "@databite/server";
import { InMemoryAdapter } from "@databite/engine";
import { slack } from "@databite/connectors";

async function main() {
  const server = new DatabiteServer({
    port: 3001,
    engineConfig: {
      schedulerAdapter: new InMemoryAdapter(),
      minutesBetweenSyncs: 10,
    },
  });

  await server.addIntegration(
    slack.createIntegration("Slack Integration", {
      clientId: process.env.SLACK_CLIENT_ID!,
      clientSecret: process.env.SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET!,
      redirectUri: process.env.SLACK_REDIRECT_URI!,
      scopes: ["chat:write", "channels:read"],
    })
  );

  await server.start();
  console.log("Server running at http://localhost:3001");
}

main().catch(console.error);
  1. Test endpoints
curl http://localhost:3001/api/health
curl http://localhost:3001/api/integrations
Next, connect from your frontend using @databite/connect.
