Notification-API

Micro API to ping Slack. Why create a wrapper around another API? To secure your Slack for frontend use :) Also ProcFile included for deployment to Heroku. More info: http://udiscover.me/notify-yourself/

Usage

1. Install Yarn: $ brew install yarn
2. Install node packages: $ yarn
3. Preload your PORT environment variable (Doesn't need to be port 3000): $ export PORT=3000. (Micro & Heroku need PORT to be preloaded)
4. Update .sample-env to your slack integration URL and remove the sample- from the file name. (Info on dotenv)
5. Run $ yarn start

Query Params

• username: Username to post with (use %20 for encoding a space)
• text: Message to post
• emoji: The avatar for your post

Example

• localhost:3000/?username=Uli%20bot&text=hi%20people&emoji=partyparrot

Heroku Deployment (requires git)

1. Install Heroku CLI
2. Make sure you are logged in with Heroku.
3. Create heroku app heroku create {optional-name-of-app}
4. Make sure your latest commits are pushed to master and deploy by git push heroku master
5. Bonus: If you aren't committing your latest changes to master you can push your latest commit by using git push heroku HEAD:master
