This is a simple nodejs library to create slack bots or send slack messages easily. Typical scenarios where once needs to send a message to a slack user or a channel can be done with single line code.

Also, a slack bot can be created avoiding all the setup and message handling details, and by just focussing on what the bot has to do on various requests.

Version 1.0

This version consists of two main functionalities.

• SlackMessageDispatcher: The messaging module

  Implemented using slack web client, it lets us send messages (only text as of version 1) to user/channel. This functions as an on invoke feature and serve most of the purposes.

• SlackMessageListener: The listener module

  Implemented as a wrapper around slack RTM Client, this module lets us create subscriptions for various messages sent on slack, both direct and for a channel. When a message is sent the listener disptaches the message to all the subscribers and provides ways to respond back if necessary.
