ExSlack

A Slack Real Time Message API and Web API client for Elixir

How this works (so far):

Using Slack Events API

Make your module use ExSlackEventsApiBot

defmodule MyModule.MyBot do
  use ExSlackEventsApiBot
  ...
end

Define your handling events methods:

def handle_event(%{"type" => "message"} = event, user_state, bot_state) do
    ...
end

Use API Methods in module ExSlack.WebApi.* to interact with Slack.

In your controller that receives events from Slack, start your Bot:

{ok, pid} = ExSlack.EventsApiBot.start_link(verification_token, team_id, bot_id, bot_access_token, MyModule.MyBot)

and process events:

ExSlack.EventsApiBot.process_event(pid, params)

Look at the Exampe App!

Working on:

• Improving the interface for a WebApiBot
• Defining the basic interface for a RtmApiBot
• Defining modules to interact with different Slack Web API Methods
  • Probably will work on this as needed because there are a lot of Slack API Methdos, contributions are welcome!
• An example web app

A lot of things!
