Payload
=======

[](#payload)

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
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require ontanj/slack-payload`

Usage
-----

[](#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.
