coffea-slack

slack plugin for coffea 1.0-beta

Setup

• Make sure to use the latest beta version of coffea by running: npm install --save coffea@beta
• Install coffea-slack: npm install coffea-slack

Usage

Specify the slack protocol in your network config:

{
  "protocol": "slack",
  "token": "xoxb-XXX", // required
  "prefix": "." // optional, default: !
}

coffea will automatically load coffea-slack when it's needed! Thus, using slack (or other protocols) this way should work on any coffea project, without any tweaks (other than installing coffea-slack and specifying the config).

coffea-slack aims to be compatible with coffea. Of course, features that slack doesn't have (like audio messages) aren't available for slack protocols, they will just be ignored.

API

You can use the Slack RTM API when sending events (make sure to use chat instead of channel for consistency with other protocols):

networks.send({
  type: 'message',
  chat: 'D0KT6J8S3',
  text: 'Hello world!'
})

But for simple events, like message, you should use the coffea helper instead:

import { message } from 'coffea'
networks.send(message('Hello world!', 'D0KT6J8S3'))
