Slack Terminalize

---

Helps build a command-line system in Slack, to create a custom vocabulary for your bot.

---

Motivation

This module was built to abstract away some of the basic tasks of massaging a message posted on Slack channel, before giving it to the bot. That said, this is an opinionated implementation, because as it is, it limits to building a linux shell-like environment, where the first word of the message is taken as the command and the words that follow, the arguments. You can find a sample app built to use this module from the links below.

Usage

 
var slackTerminal = require('slack-terminalize');
 
slackTerminal.init('<your-slack-token-here>',

    {} // configurations for the app: https://github.com/ggauravr/slack-terminalize/blob/master/util/config.js
});
