    options: {
        port: PORT,
        tunnel: false,
        verifySignature: true,
        endpoint: '/'
    }
})
 
dog.on('webhook', ({port, endpoint}) => {
    console.log(`dog is online on http://localhost:${port}${endpoint}`)
})
 
dog.on('tunnel', ({url}) => {
    console.log(`tunnel to local machine created at ${url}`)
})
 
dog.on('text', async event => {
    try {
        const {displayName} = await dog.getProfileFromEvent(event)
        const {replyToken, message: {text}} = event
        const {suggestions, typos} = await lint(text)
        const replyText = `Woof! Hi ${displayName}!\n\nI've read your message:\n\n${text}`
        const replyBalloon = new Messages().addText(replyText)
        const reasons = suggestions.length && suggestions.map(({reason}) => reason).join('\n\n')
        if (reasons) replyBalloon.addSticker({packageId: 1, stickerId: 15}).addText(`My dog-sense 🐕 has some suggestions:\n\n${reasons}`)
        const words = typos.length && typos.map(({word, suggestions}) => `Error on word "${word}". Did you mean ${suggestions.join('/')}?`).join('\n\n')
        if (words) replyBalloon.addSticker({packageId: 1, stickerId: 10}).addText(`🤔🔥 A bit of typographical errors:\n\n${words}`)
        if (!reasons && !words) replyBalloon.addSticker({packageId: 1, stickerId: 14}).addText('Woof woof! I can\'t find any errors! 🐶 Nice job!')
        dog.replyMessage(replyToken, replyBalloon.commit())
    } catch ({message}) {
        console.log(message)
    }

Events

Listen-able events:

webhook

Emitted when webhook listener is created successfully. Emits {port, endpoint}.

tunnel

Emitted when local tunnel is created successfully for development. Emits {url}.

events

Emitted on all events, returns an array of events.

event

Emitted on all events, returns an array of events.

message, follow, unfollow, join, leave, postback, beacon

Emitted on parsing event types, returns that specific event.

text, image, video, audio, location, sticker, non-text, message-with-content

Emitted on parsing message types (more specific), returns that specific event. Can be made more specific according to source type. For example, Bot.on('image:user', fn) will run fn only if it receives an image message type from user source type (won't work in groups/rooms).

Webhook

By default, webhook will listen on port 5463. You should change it if it interferes with something.

Messages

Messages class is a helper in composing your messages.
