/*
 * server.js
 * This file is the core of your bot
 *
 * It creates a little server using express
 * So, your bot can be triggered throught "/" route
 *
 * This file was made for locally testing your bot
 * You can test it by running this command
 * curl -X "POST" "http://localhost:5000" -d '{"text": "YOUR_TEXT"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8"
 * You might modify the server port ^^^^  depending on your configuration in config.js file
