API

Loading slackin will return a Function that creates a HTTP.Server instance:

const slackin = require('slackin')

slackin.default({
  token: 'yourtoken',                             // required
  interval: 1000,
  org: 'your-slack-subdomain',                    // required
  path: '/some/path/you/host/slackin/under/',     // defaults to '/'
  channels: 'channel,channel,...',                // for single channel mode
  silent: false                                   // suppresses warnings
}).listen(3000)

This will show response times from Slack and how many online users you have on the console. The returned http.Server has an app property that is the express application that you can define or override routes on.

All the metadata for your organization can be fetched via a JSON HTTP request to /data.

Caught a Bug?

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
2. Uninstall slackin if it's already installed: npm uninstall -g slack
3. Link it to the global module directory: npm link
4. Transpile the source code and watch for changes: npm start

Yey! Now can use the slack command everywhere.
