A Nodejs module facilitating Slack messaging.

SL.addConfig("token","botname");

// Will create a config with name "slack1"

The client is chainable which means that you can call functions one after the other until you execute the posting. It then returning a promise.

Initialise a post:

// Creating message to group or channel called "my-channel"
SL.message("my-channel");

// Creating message to group or channel called "my-channel" using the config "slack1"
SL.message("my-channel").use("Client1")

For those example we will use the query variable 'slack':

// initialise query
var slack = SL.message("my-channel");

slack.post("my message");

slack.post("my message", {...});
