R Documentation

Setup environment variables for Slack API access

Description

Initialize all the environment variables slackr() will need to use to work properly.

Usage

slackr_setup(
  channel = "#general",
  username = "slackr",
  icon_emoji = "",
  incoming_webhook_url = "",
  token = "",
  config_file = Sys.getenv("SLACKR_CONFIG_FILE_PATH", unset = "~/.slackr"),
  echo = FALSE,
  cache_dir = ""
)

Arguments

`channel`	default channel to send the output to (chr) defaults to `⁠#general⁠`.
`username`	the username output will appear from (chr) defaults to `slackr`.
`icon_emoji`	which emoji picture to use (chr) defaults to none (can be left blank in config file as well).
`incoming_webhook_url`	the Slack URL prefix to use (chr) defaults to none.
`token`	Authentication token bearing required scopes.
`config_file`	a configuration file (DCF) - see read.dcf - format with the config values.
`echo`	display the configuration variables (bool) initially `FALSE`.
`cache_dir`	the location for an on-disk cache. defaults to an in-memory cache if no location is specified.

Details

By default, slackr() (and other functions) will use the ⁠#general⁠ room and a username of slackr() with no emoji.

If a valid file is found at the location pointed to by config_file, the values there will be used. The fields should be specified as such in the file:

 token: SLACK_TOKEN
 channel: #general
 username: slackr
 incoming_webhook_url: https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXX/XXXXX/XXXXX

Value

"Successfully connected to Slack"

Note

You need a Slack account and all your API URLs & tokens setup to use this package.

Examples

## Not run: 
# reads from default file (i.e. ~/.slackr)
slackr_setup()

# reads from alternate config
slackr_setup(config_file = "/path/to/my/slackrconfig")

# the hard way
slackr_setup(
  channel = "#code",
  incoming_webhook_url = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXX/XXXXX/XXXXX"
)
