Chameleon is a Slack bot built with Swift.
It consists of several frameworks, the core of which are:
- Models: Exposes Slack model data. Slack's APIs only provide object ids in their responses, however the model layer is able to convert those into full model objects.
- WebAPI: Allows interaction with Slack's Web API.
- RTMAPI: Allows interaction with Slack's Real-time messaging API.
- Bot: Utilises each of the frameworks to provide an extensible Slack bot user.
- Sugar: Provides a layer over all frameworks adding various helpers, wrappers and syntactic sugar to make developing features more declarative.
- Extensible:
SlackService's can be added to provide any behaviour you need. - Typed: You always get to work with full typed Slack model data.
Refer to the Installation Guide.
Refer to the API Guide.

This is a work in progress so expect improvements as well as breaking changes!
Chameleon is functional however there is still a lot to do before it is complete
- The Web and Real time messaging APIs can do a lot - I have built support for the core/most common features but they are incomplete. I will add more over time until they are complete.
This was my first dive into 'Server Side Swift'; 95% of this code was done over a total of a few days but getting working in the terminal and then deployed to Heroku took far longer... This project would likely have ended up as mostly useless OSX app if it hadn't been for the teams from Vapor and Zewo pioneering the server side Swift movement. I am especially thankful for the help and patience of Logan Wright, Tanner Nelson and Dan Appel
