LARAVEL SLACK PACKAGE

This package was built for easy integration of automatic Slack invite into your Laravel Project instead of writing codes from scratch or with another programming language. If your web project is built on Laravel and you need to handle Automatic Slack Invite, this package makes that job seamless. Enjoy!!!

Requirement

• PHP 5.6+
• Composer

Installation

To install into your project, run the command below in your terminal.

composer require goodnesskay/laravel-slack

Once the package is done being installed, register the service provider. Open config/app.php and add the following to the providers key.

GoodnessKay\LaravelSlack\LaravelSlackServiceProvider::class

After that, register the Facade in the same config/app.php file:

'aliases' => [
    ...
       'LaravelSlack' => GoodnessKay\LaravelSlack\Facade\LaravelSlack::class,
    ...
]

Finally, this project requires GuzzleHttp Client. Install it by running this in your terminal

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

Configure

Publish the config file LaravelSlack.php to config folder, the Views folder of the package named Slack to the resources/views folder and LaravelSlackController.php to App\Http\Controller folder

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="GoodnessKay\LaravelSlack\LaravelSlackServiceProvider"
