README

A Slack Invitator made with Lumen Framework and inspired by rauchg/slackin.

That application uses some of my awesome packages:

• Badge Poser - Badges generator to Laravel.
• Slack API - Laravel easy Slack API.
• Language Detector - Automatic set the application language based on user browser preferences.
• Lumen Tinker - An interactive shell to Lumen.

Download the source

composer create-project vluzrmos/lumen-slackin

Installation

Copy .env.example to .env and:

Change the APP_KEY to something random string with max 32 characters.

Change the SLACK_TOKEN to the token of your user on slack team, with admin privilegies, you can get it on Slack Web API.

Run

Queue

Start the queue listener:

php artisan queue:listen --timeout=240 1>> /dev/null 2>&1 &

That will start the queue listener in background on *nix computers, to stop that you need to know how to kill a job on your system.

Its hight recomended run the queue on system startup, on linux you should add the following lines to your crontab:

@reboot php /path/to/that/project/artisan queue:listen --timeout=240 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

Scheduled Tasks (Optional)

You may also need to add that command to your cronjob, that will update the users status on every minute:

* * * * *  php /path/to/that/project/artisan schedule:run 1>> /dev/null 2>&1

That will make your queue run in background and ignoring error messages.

Note: If you do not want to use that feature, you just need to set the environment variable SLACK_STATUS_ENABLED to false on your .env file, that will hide the message about users active (online/total) of your team on the homepage:

SLACK_STATUS_ENABLED=false

HTTP Server

Start the http server:

php artisan serve

By default, artisan serve starts on port 8000, if you want to modify it, just starts it by passing --port=NUMBER or just make a VirtualHost on your server (Apache or Nginx) with DocumentRoot on /path/to/that/project/public/ path.

Badge is available

If your need a badge to your slack invitator, just use:

<img src="http://your-domain/badge.svg" />

Example:

Multi-Language Support

By default the system will try to detect if the browser language is available on resources/lang, if available will setup. Available languages:

• English - en
• French - fr_FR
• Portuguese Brazil - pt_BR
• German - de_DE

Mobile Devices

That project uses Twitter Bootstrap 3, and it is compatible on small devices.
