While working on launch-vehicle-fbm, my team started writing a client to dump chat interactions to a private Slack channel for debugging purposes. This evolved into messenger-slack-ghost. What I am looking to do here is evolve this concept into something I can use to debug events on websites I manage by providing some details to a Slack channel.
Access to a Slack team with the permissions to create an application and bot user are required. Slack will provide a SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and this token needs to be available in the runtime environment.
Use example.env as a guide.
My workflow is to copy this file to .env and use export $(cat .env | xargs) to prepare the environment.
yarnto install dependenciesyarn run devto start a local instance of the application with a file watcher
With the dev target running, http://localhost:8080 will provide an HTTP 200 response with a 🤖 in the body.
The debug package is for a firehose of data sent to stdout/stderr
