Dale template script

dale/template.js

var TemplateClass;

TemplateClass = (function() {
  // In the constructor, accept the slack instance and (optional) set up cache data
  function TemplateClass(robot1) {
    this.robot = robot1;
    this.cache = {
      persistDatum: {}
    };

    // If necessary to seed the class with data from persist, set an open
    // event listener on the slack instance
    this.robot.on('open', (function(_this) {
       return function() {
         var base;
         (base = _this.robot.data.Template).persistDatum || (base.persistDatum = {});
         return _this.cache.scores = _this.robot.data.Template.persistDatum || {};

  }

  // Define whatever necessary prototype functions are necessary
  TemplateClass.prototype.getDatum = function(datum) {
    var base;
    (base = this.cache.persistDatum)[datum] || (base[datum] = 0);

  // Be sure to return your class prototype from this function call
  return TemplateClass;
