:space_invader:   Usage

▶ yarn add nestjs-slack

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { SlackModule } from 'nestjs-slack';

@Module({
  imports: [
    SlackModule.forRoot({
      type: 'api',
      token: '<insert-token-here>',
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

To use webhook type, you'll typically use these settings:

SlackModule.forRoot({
  type: 'webhook',
  url: '<the webhook url>',
}),

You can also add multiple webhooks, like this:

SlackModule.forRoot({
  type: 'webhook',
  channels: [
    {
      name: 'dev',
      url: '<a webhook url>',
    },
    {
      name: 'customers',
      url: '<a webhook url>',
    },
  ],
}),

You can also get type assertions if you add a Typescript definition like this:

declare module 'nestjs-slack' {
  type Channels = 'dev' | 'customers';
}

Example

You can easily inject SlackService to be used in your services, controllers, etc.

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { SlackService } from 'nestjs-slack';

@Injectable()
export class AuthService {
  constructor(private service: SlackService) {}

  helloWorldMethod() {
    this.service.sendText('Hello world was sent!');
    return 'hello world';
  }
}

Use with Google Logging

▶ yarn add @google-cloud/logging

import { SlackModule } from 'nestjs-slack';

@Module({
  imports: [SlackModule.forRoot({ type: 'google' })],
})
export class AppModule {}

When type is set to google the @google-cloud/logging package will be used to send logs to stdout according to structured logs.

You can deploy gcl-slack to consume logs from this library.
