README

When using interactive messages in Slack's API, the result is returned as a json encoded array through $_POST["payload"]. This application helps extracting information from that payload.

Installation

composer require ontanj/slack-payload

Usage

The Payload class is in the namespace SlackPayload.

To instantiate the Payload class, pass $_POST["payload"] to the contructor. Now you can recieve the information by using functions of the object.
