This repo is for a session facilitated by me at SRCCON 2018 that goes by the same name. The project was meant to create a Slack app using as many as Slack's API functionalities as possible in order to showcase the full potential of using Slack as a front-end for newsroom tools. For notes on the session go to SESSION.md

Create a virtualenv to store the codebase.

$ virtualenv graphics-request

Activate the virtualenv.

$ cd graphics-request
$ . bin/activate

Clone the git repository from GitHub.

$ git clone https://github.com/brizandrew/slack-graphics-request repo

Enter the repo and install its dependencies.

$ cd repo
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Fill out info.py with your Slack credentials.

Start the Flask app.

$ cd app
$ python app.py

These are the routes that come with the Flask app and their intended uses:

Used to test that the app is running

Used to handle all incoming requests about registered events being triggered.

Used to handle a slash command mapped to this route which will serve a dialog.

Used to handle all incoming interactive requests. This includes dialog submissions, interactive messages, and message actions.
