2b. Register App (Laravel 5.4 and below)

Register the package with laravel in config/app.php under providers with the following:

    'providers' => [
        jeremykenedy\Slack\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class,
    ];

3. Register App Alias (Laravel 5.4 and below)

Register the package with laravel in config/app.php under aliases with the following:

    'aliases' => [
        'Slack' => jeremykenedy\Slack\Laravel\Facade::class,
    ];

4. Publish Assets (All)

Publish the config file from your projects root folder in terminal by running:

    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=slacklaravel

5. Create Webhook (All)

Create an incoming webhook for each Slack team you'd like to send messages to. You'll need the webhook URL(s) in order to configure this package.

6. Configure .env (All)

Configure Slack for Laravel in your .env file by adding and editing the following:

DEFAULT_SLACK_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DEFAULT_SLACK_CHANNEL='#general'
DEFAULT_SLACK_USERNAME=Robot
DEFAULT_SLACK_ICON=':ghost:'
DEFAULT_SLACK_LINKNAMES_CONVERTED=FALSE
DEFAULT_SLACK_UNFURL_LINKS_STATUS=FALSE
DEFAULT_SLACK_UNFURL_MEDIA_STATUS=TRUE
DEFAULT_SLACK_ALLOW_MARKDOWN=TRUE
DEFAULT_SLACK_MARKDOWN_FIELDS="'text','title'"

Configuration

The config file comes with defaults and placeholders. Configure at least one team and any defaults you'd like to change. Default configurations are published into config/slack.php and the values can be set in the .env file like so:

DEFAULT_SLACK_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DEFAULT_SLACK_CHANNEL='#general'
DEFAULT_SLACK_USERNAME=Robot
DEFAULT_SLACK_ICON=':ghost:'
DEFAULT_SLACK_LINKNAMES_CONVERTED=FALSE
DEFAULT_SLACK_UNFURL_LINKS_STATUS=FALSE
DEFAULT_SLACK_UNFURL_MEDIA_STATUS=TRUE
DEFAULT_SLACK_ALLOW_MARKDOWN=TRUE
DEFAULT_SLACK_MARKDOWN_FIELDS="'text','title'"

Usage

1. Include Class

• Use the facade anywhere:

\Slack::send('Hey');

2. Trigging Slack Messages

Send to Default Channel

• Send a message to the default channel

    Slack::send('Hi Slack, from the API :)');

Send to Different Channel

• Send a message to a different channel

    Slack::to('#testing')->send('Hi Testing!');

Send to Private Message

• Send a message to a private channel

    Slack::to('@jeremykenedy')->send('Hi Jeremy!');

Faking in tests

Use the fake method on the Facade

    Slack::fake()

This provides the following

    Slack::assertMessageSent(function($messages) {
        // search in all messages
    });

    Slack::assertMessageSentTo($channel, function($messages) {
        // search in all messages posted to $channel
    });
