Slack for Laravel
=================

[](#slack-for-laravel)

This package allows you to use [Slack for PHP](https://github.com/alek13/slack) 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](https://github.com/alek13/slack) for usage details.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Laravel 4 or 5.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package using the [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) package manager. You can install it by running this command in your project root:

```
composer require alek13/slack-laravel
```

Then [create an incoming webhook](https://my.slack.com/services/new/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
---------

[](#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
---------

[](#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
-------------

[](#configuration)

The config file comes with defaults and placeholders. Configure at least one team and any defaults you'd like to change.

Usage
-----

[](#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](https://github.com/alek13/slack) for more examples, including attachments and message buttons.
