 | Status:     | Under Development                   |
 | Location:   | [[http://github.com/bqv/weechat-slack]] |
 | Version:    | 0.1.0                               |
 | Disclaimer: | Slack's API is a thing of horror    |

* Description

  A weechat plugin in C to extend the chat client to
  support Slack workspaces via the RTM and Web APIs.
  
* Usage

  1. Start with `/slack register` for instructions on how
     to obtain a token, or if you already have a token, use
     `/slack register <token>`.

  2. Use `/slack connect <workspace-name>` with the name 
     returned by register

* Installing

  See http://github.com/bqv/weechat-extras for the suite this is part of
  and a repository/package for your distribution.

* Dependencies

  - libwebsockets (static, submodule)
  - json-c (static, submodule)
  - weechat (>= v1.7)

* Building

  #+begin_src sh
  git clone git://github.com/bqv/weechat-slack.git
  cd weechat-slack
  make
  make install
  #+end_src
  
  Do *NOT* run make install as root, it installs the plugin to your
  local weechat plugins directory
  
* Development
  
  I use emacs for development of this, although I am also a fan of vim.
  My debug build process involves static analysis with clang and cppcheck,
  and dynamic analysis with address-sanitizer and leak-sanitizer.
  My debug evaluation process involves gdb/mi run with the arguments
 =-ex "handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass" --args weechat -a 2>asan.log=
  since part of weechat and it's default plugins use SIGPIPE as control.
  
  I have no real requests for style of pull requests besides a wish that
  you keep vaguely to the style I have adopted for this project.

  Happy coding!

* Contributing

 *Your contributions are always welcome!*
  Please submit a pull request or create an issue
  to add a new or missing feature.
  
* Appropriating

  As there is no C library for Slack at the time of
  writing, this project implements the APIs from
  scratch, and as such one could butcher this repository
  to create a minimal Slack C library. Up to you.
