Joe Bot - Slack Adapter

Connecting joe with the Slack chat application. https://github.com/go-joe/joe


This repository contains a module for the Joe Bot library.

Getting Started

This library is packaged as Go module. You can get it via:

go get github.com/go-joe/slack-adapter

Example usage

In order to connect your bot to slack you can simply pass it as module when creating a new bot:

package main

import (
	"os"

	"github.com/go-joe/joe"
	"github.com/go-joe/slack-adapter/v2"
)

func main() {
	b := joe.New("example-bot",
		slack.Adapter(os.Getenv("SLACK_TOKEN")),
		…
    )
	
	b.Respond("ping", Pong)

	err := b.Run()
	if err != nil {
		b.Logger.Fatal(err.Error())
	}
}

If you want to use the Slack Events API you need to call the slack.EventsAPIAdapter(…) function instead.

The adapter will emit the following events to the robot brain:

  • joe.ReceiveMessageEvent
  • joe.UserTypingEvent
  • reactions.Event

Built With

  • slack-go/slack - Slack API in Go
  • zap - Blazing fast, structured, leveled logging in Go
  • testify - A simple unit test library

Contributing

The current implementation is rather minimal and there are many more features that could be implemented on the slack adapter so you are highly encouraged to contribute. If you want to hack on this repository, please read the short CONTRIBUTING.md guide first.
