Easy to build Slackbot.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add slack_socket_mode

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install slack_socket_mode

require 'slack_socket_mode'

app_token = '...'
logger = Logger.new($stdout)
client = SlackSocketMode.new(app_token, logger: logger)
return unless client.open(debug_reconnects: true)

client.each_payload do |payload|
  text = payload.dig(:event, :text)
  puts text
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
