SSSC

Simple and Stupid Slack Client

Features

SSSC is closely modeled after (ii) which means that communication is facilitated by an out file and an in FIFO on the filesystem.

No features other than sending and receiving messages while connected are supported. Retrieval of unread messages may be implemented at a later date, in a separate branch.

Incoming data not handled by SSSC will be printed to stdout as formatted JSON.

Installation

$ yarn install

A Slack api token has to be provided as an environment variable called TOKEN. There's a Dockerfile included in the repository for convenience.

Usage

Upon successful connection to Slack a directory with every channel, group and im will be created in the project root like so:

session/
'-- your_team_name/
    |-- general/
    |   |-- in
    |   '-- out
    |-- random/
    |   |-- in
    |   '-- out
    |-- alice/
    |   |-- in
    |   '-- out
    '-- bob/
        |-- in
        '-- out

To send a message to alice:

$ echo "Hi" > ./session/your_team_name/alice/in

To keep track of the conversation:

$ tail -f ./session/you_team_name/alice/out

Incoming messages are formatted as follows:

{timestamp} <{username}> {text}

It's up to the user to further process this output as needed using his preferred method of text manipulation.
