Slack.rb

Ruby toolkit for working with the Slack API

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'slack'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install slack

Usage

Making requests

# Provide authentication credentials
client = Slack::Client.new(team: 'netflower', token: 'xxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx')
# Post a message
client.post_message("May the force be with you", "yoda-quotes")
# List all channels
client.channels

Configuration and defaults

Configuring module defaults

Every writable attribute in {Slack::Configurable} can be set one at a time:

Slack.api_endpoint     = 'https://slack.dev/api'
Slack.default_channel  = '#lol-cats'
Slack.username         = 'Yoda'

or in batch:

Slack.configure do |c|
  c.api_endpoint     = 'https://slack.dev/api'
  c.default_channel  = '#lol-cats'
  c.username         = 'Yoda'
end

Using ENV variables

Default configuration values are specified in {Slack::Default}. Many attributes will look for a default value from the ENV before returning Slack's default.

# Given $SLACK_API_ENDPOINT is "https://slack.dev/api"
Slack.api_endpoint

# => "https://slack.dev/api"
