README
This package allows you to use Slack for PHP easily and elegantly in your Laravel 4 or 5 app. Read the instructions below to get setup, and then head on over to Slack for PHP for usage details. Note: this package is no longer being actively maintained.
Requirements
Laravel 4 or 5.
Installation
You can install the package using the Composer package manager. You can install it by running this command in your project root:
composer require maknz/slack-laravel
Then 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.
Laravel 5
Add the Maknz\Slack\Laravel\ServiceProvider
provider to the providers
array in config/app.php
:
'providers' => [ Maknz\Slack\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class, ],
Then add the facade to your aliases
array:
'aliases' => [ ... 'Slack' => Maknz\Slack\Laravel\Facade::class, ],
Finally, publish the config file with php artisan vendor:publish
. You'll find it at config/slack.php
.
Laravel 4
Add the Maknz\Slack\Laravel\ServiceProvider
provider to the providers
array in app/config.php
:
'providers' => [ ... 'Maknz\Slack\Laravel\ServiceProvider', ],
Then add the facade to your aliases
array:
'aliases' => [ ... 'Slack' => 'Maknz\Slack\Laravel\Facade', ],
Finally, publish the config file with php artisan config:publish maknz/slack
. You'll find the config file at app/config/packages/maknz/slack-laravel/config.php
.
Configuration
The config file comes with defaults and placeholders. Configure at least one team and any defaults you'd like to change.
Usage
The Slack facade is now your interface to the library. Any method you see being called an instance of Maknz\Slack\Client
is available on the Slack
facade for easy use.
Note that if you're using the facade in a namespace (e.g. App\Http\Controllers
in Laravel 5) you'll need to either use Slack
at the top of your class to import it, or append a backslash to access the root namespace directly when calling methods, e.g. \Slack::method()
.
// Send a message to the default channel Slack::send('Hello world!'); // Send a message to a different channel Slack::to('#accounting')->send('Are we rich yet?'); // Send a private message Slack::to('@username')->send('psst!');
Now head on over to Slack for PHP for more examples, including attachments and message buttons.
