vsts-blync-notify

Funny project, featuring hack, to get notifications on a BlyncLight USB 30 from VSTS when events happen.

Simple node.js app to get visual notifications on a Blync USB 30 on some events from VSTS like :

• When a release just started
• When a release just completed
• When a build just completed
• When someone did a push
• ...

Works with Webhooks on VSTS.

It uses the following npm package : blync-usb30

How it works

Locally

Prerequisites, we are using ngrok to expose externally our app

npm install ngrok -g

git clone https://github.com/julienstroheker/vsts-blync-notify.git
cd vsts-blync-notify
npm install
npm run expose

Copy the forwarding address from ngrok that you have in your console, should be something like : http://99b9bb9f.ngrok.io

VSTS

You have to setup the triggers that you want notification from on VSTS :

From your project, go on Settings - Service Hooks - Create subscription - Web Hooks

Choose the trigger that you want to setup

On the URL settings paste your ngrok address and add /api/vstshook

Example : http://99b9bb9f.ngrok.io/api/vstshook

Click on Test to validate if it works.

Settings

Open and modify the notify.json file to setup your own rules.

• type is the from the VSTS's payload request (content.eventType)
• color is the color to setup on the blync
• control is the mode to setup on the blync

You can find more infos on color and control on the official npm package

Enjoy
