After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Load your own commands

You can load your own commands by implementing the \PhpSlackBot\Command\BaseCommand.

Then call PhpSlackBot\Bot::loadCommand method for each command you have to load.

"Catch All" command

If you need to execute a command when an event occurs, you can set up a "catch all" command.

This special command will be triggered on all events.

Incoming webhooks

The bot can also listen for incoming webhooks.

Commands are triggered from users messages inside Slack and webhooks are triggered from web post requests.

Custom webhooks can be loaded using the PhpSlackBot\Bot::loadWebhook method.

This is useful if you need to control the bot from an external service. For example, with IFTTT https://ifttt.com/maker

To enable webhooks, use the enableWebserver method before the run method.

You can also set a secret token to prevent unauthorized requests.

Altered in this fork:

Use the parameter "webhook" to trigger the corresponding webhook. In the example case above, the "webhook" value is "output".

The input format can be either JSON or a POST with a json encoded payload, as described here in https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks. The webserver differentiates between the two using the Content-Type header.

JSON:

POST Fields (json encoded payload):

Also, the response from a webhook is now json encoded. The return value from your custom webhook's execute() method will be inside the "data" property of a successful request. Otherwise, an "error" property will be populated.
