Slack-proxy NPM

This is fork with fixed issue with using package behind the HTTP(S) proxy. HTTP client tiny-json-http has been replaced with request client which supports HTTP(S)_PROXY env settings by default.

Slack Web and RTM API client. :seedling::raised_hands::two_hearts:

Written in ES2015 JS, published as ES5, tested for Node and the browser
Web API is all pure functions (no stateful things like classes or using new)
RTM API has a thin wrapper for WebSocket (also tested for Node and the browser!)
Perfect symmetry (low level: method signatures match API docs method signatures are node-style callbacks)
Opt in (selectively use the parts of the api surface you want without the entire payload)
Well tested, CI, and Apache2 licensed

Install :star2::package:

npm i slack

Usage :sparkles::rocket:

slack is tested for Node and the browser.

var slack = require('slack')

// logs {args:{hello:'world'}}
slack.api.test({hello:'world'}, console.log)

Usage with ES2015 works well too; slack itself is written with Babel. You can also specify only the methods you need which can trim the payload if you are using slack in the browser.

// only import the specific method you need
import test from 'slack/methods/api.test'

// logs {args:{hyper:'card'}}
test({hyper:'card'}, console.log)

Starting an RTM session:

import slack from 'slack'

let bot = slack.rtm.client()
let token = process.env.SLACK_TOKEN

bot.hello(message=> {
  console.log(`Got a message: ${message}`)
  bot.close()
})

bot.listen({token})

The entire RTM event API is supported.

Test Setup :lock::key::point_left:

Clone this repo and create a file called .env in the root with the following:

SLACK_TOKEN=xxxx
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xxxx
SLACK_CLIENT_ID=xxxx
SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET=xxxx

You can get a SLACK_TOKEN for testing here. You need to register an app for a SLACK_CLIENT_ID and SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET. The tests require the app to have the channels:history scope.

Testing :green_heart::green_heart::green_heart:

:point_right: In Node:

npm test

:point_right: Or the browser:

npm run btest

:point_right: Or kick up a REPL and poke around:

Slack Web API :tada::honeybee::triangular_flag_on_post:

The entire Slack Web API is supported. All method signatures accept a params object and Node style callback. Required params are documented inline below.

Slack RTM API

slack.rtm.client() is a factory method that returns an thinly wrapped WebSocket instance with helpers for registering callbacks to Slack RTM events.

var slack = require('slack')
var bot = slack.rtm.client()
var token = process.env.SLACK_TOKEN

// logs: ws, started, close, listen, etc... in addition to the RTM event handler methods
console.log(Object.keys(bot))

// do something with the rtm.start payload
bot.started(function(payload) {
  console.log('payload from rtm.start', payload)
})

// respond to a user_typing message
bot.user_typing(function(msg) {
  console.log('several people are coding', msg)
})

// start listening to the slack team associated to the token
bot.listen({token:token})

Try it out by running npm start:

RTM Client API

bot.ws is a WebSocket instance constructed from slack/methods/rtm.start payload
bot.started(payload=>) fires after rtm.start payload response is received and socket established
bot.close() closes the WebSocket
bot.listen({token}) initiates the slack/methods/rtm.start handshake and delegates all messages

RTM Events

Each of these are methods on bot for registering handlers for the events of the same name.
