This package contains a service for interacting with Slack as a bot, and a few helper models that you can use to accept and send data to Slack.
SlashCommand is a model that can encapsulate the POST body you recieve from Slack when you rig up your server to accept slash commands.
router.post(SlashCommand.self, at: "queue") { (req, slashCommand) in
// Do what you need to do with incoming information
}You can return a String if you want, or if you want a little more control, you can return a SlashCommandResponse
router.post(SlashCommand.self, at: "queue") { (req, slashCommand) -> Future<SlashCommandResponse> in
// Do what you need to do with incoming information
return SlashCommandResponse(responseType: .ephemeral, text: "Your slash command works!")
}The default response type is .ephemeral.
