slack-webhook-microserver

A small web server that wraps around a function you provide to respond to Slack webhook calls.

Installation

npm install slack-webhook-microserver    

Usage

Make a function that takes Slack webhook params and passes a callback the response you want to send to Slack.

function echoBackNumber(params, done) {
  var response = {
    text: 'You said: ' + params.number
  };

  callNextTick(done, null, response);
}

Then, create the web server with it:

var createMicroserver = require('slack-webhook-microserver');

var server = createMicroserver({
  validWebhookTokens: ['good-token'],
  getResponseObject: echoBackNumber
});

Then, when it receive a request, it will check the token params against validWebhookTokens. If it is a good token, the server will pass the request on to your function and pass back what it responds with to the http response.

When you're done:

server.close();

(The server object returned is an instance of http.Server.)

Tests

Run tests with make test.
