Node.js Slack Client Library

Travis-CI Build Status

Description

This is a Slack client library for Node.js. It is intended to expose all of the functionality of Slack's Real Time Messaging API while providing some common abstractions and generally making your life easier, if you want it to.

This code has been built to support our hubot-slack adapter. Most other functionality isn't yet supported, and documenation is minimal, at best.
