README

This package provides a simple way to use the Slack API.

The package is a fork from https://github.com/Vluzrmos/laravel-slack-api The original package is not maintained and I made several changes that possibly make this version incompatible to the original.

Changes made:

• removed functionality to lookup user by nickname: this package provides basic functionality
• removed cache as it was not needed anymore
• added basic tests
• updated slack api options on a couple of methods
• fixed minor bugs

Installation

composer require wgmv/laravel-slack-api

Installation on Laravel 5

The package has autodiscovery enabled. (A laravel 5.5 feature)

[
    'providers' => [
        Wgmv\SlackApi\SlackApiServiceProvider::class,
    ]
]

Configuration

This package uses slacks legacy tokens. Get you token here:

https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens

Configure your slack team token in config/services.php

[
    //...,
    'slack' => [
        'token' => 'your token here'
    ]
]

Installation on Lumen

I have not tested the lumen installation! Documentation from the original package:

Add the following line on bootstrap/app.php:

// $app->register('App\Providers\AppServiceProvider'); (by default that comes commented)
$app->register('Wgmv\SlackApi\SlackApiServiceProvider');

If you want to use facades, add this lines on bootstrap/app.php

class_alias('Wgmv\SlackApi\Facades\SlackApi', 'SlackApi');
//... and others

Otherwise, just use the singleton shortcuts:

/** @var \Wgmv\SlackApi\Contracts\SlackApi $slackapi */
$slackapi     = app('slack.api');

/** @var \Wgmv\SlackApi\Contracts\SlackChannel $slackchannel */
$slackchannel = app('slack.channel');

etc

Example Usage

//Lists all users on your team
SlackUser::lists(); 

//Lists all channels on your team
SlackChannel::lists(); 

//List all groups
SlackGroup::lists();

//Invite a new member to your team
SlackUserAdmin::invite("example@example.com", [
    'first_name' => 'John', 
    'last_name' => 'Doe'
]);

// or just use the helper

//Autoload the api
slack()->post('chat.postMessage', [...]);

//Autoload a Slack Method
slack('Chat')->message([...]);
slack('Team')->info();
