hubot script how to get Room name？

[thinkeridea]

I try to use hubot control permissions, I think most hubot all function can be applied to join in the Room, but some will only respond to the designated person or Room, at this time I can get to the Room ID, but can't get Room Name, how should do?

you'll need to access the getRoomId method on the adapter and pass the roomid to it. You'll need the bot role assigned to the user in rocket.chat for this function to work also.

This method can only obtain the roomId, but unable to get to the room name

@thinkeridea i've the same problem, i'm unable to retrieve room name from a roomID.

getRoomId: (room) =>
		@tryCache _roomIdCache, 'getRoomIdByNameOrId', room, 'Room ID'

@geekgonecrazy as you can see you can obtain the RoomId by name or id, but if we want to get the room name from an id, there is not method for this in driver.

@JigSawFr I know simple increase Rocket. Chat service API can quickly realize demand, but I'm meteor is not very familiar with, the modified build always fail (perhaps China's firewall), also in trying to have some progress

[JigSawFr]

@thinkeridea yes, rocket api has a method to get info from a room by ID : https://rocket.chat/docs/developer-guides/rest-api/channels/info
And it's returning all info with it's name !

@JigSawFr I added the server methods getRoomNameById , maintain and present model is consistent, now also in testing availability, specific submission: thinkeridea/Rocket.Chat@231cdaa

@JigSawFr @geekgonecrazy My practice is successful, very convenient, hubot rocketchat adapter changes: thinkeridea@f84f504

[JigSawFr]

@thinkeridea, finally we have created a service (which use rocket chat api) for our scripts to have more needed functions as for example: getRoomNameById, sendPrivateMessage, etc.. detect room type etc..

@thinkeridea you rock! Looks like when 0.57.0 lands you will be able to simply call that method! :)

@JigSawFr @geekgonecrazy I implemented a simple hubot deployment script automatically, if interested can help add some functions, I will add more documents and assist in the next.
