#Setup

This project pulls the Slack client key, the secret key, and the list of channels from local environment variables. You will need to create a Slack application in Slack's developer tools section, which will give you access to a client id and client secret. You will need to set the following environment variables:

SLACK_CLIENT_ID : the Slack client id of your slack app.

SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET : the Slack client id of your slack app.

SLACK_CLIENT_CHANNELS : a JSON array containing the list of channels you wish to display. It will need to conform the following format:

[  
   {  
      "name":"my_channel_1",
      "displayName":"My Channel 1"
   },
   {  
      "name":"my_channel_2",
      "displayName":"My Channel 2"
   },
   {  
      "name":"foo_channel",
      "displayName":"Foo Channel"
   },
   {  
      "name":"bar_channel",
      "displayName":"Bar Channel"
   }
]
