FAQ
Example:
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 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.
Informations about the package slack-client
Slack for PHP
A simple PHP package for sending messages to Slack with incoming webhooks, focussed on ease-of-use and elegant syntax.
- Laravel integration: Slack for Laravel
- Symfony integration: NexySlackBundle
Requirements
- PHP 5.5, 5.6, 7.0 or HHVM
Installation
You can install the package using the Composer package manager. You can install it by running this command in your project root:
Then create an incoming webhook on your Slack account for the package to use. You'll need the webhook URL to instantiate the client (or for the configuration file if using Laravel).
Basic Usage
Instantiate the client
Settings
The default settings are pretty good, but you may wish to set up default behaviour for your client to be used for all messages sent. All settings are optional and you don't need to provide any. Where not provided, we'll fallback to what is configured on the webhook integration, which are managed at Slack, or our sensible defaults.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
channel |
string | The default channel that messages will be sent to |

string | The default username for your bot |
icon |
string | The default icon that messages will be sent with, either :emoji: or a URL to an image |
link_names |
bool | Whether names like @regan or #accounting should be linked in the message (defaults to false) |
unfurl_links |
bool | Whether Slack should unfurl text-based URLs (defaults to false) |

Advanced usage
Markdown
By default, Markdown is enabled for message text, but disabled for attachment fields. This behaviour can be configured in settings, or on the fly:
Send a message enabling or disabling Markdown
Send an attachment specifying which fields should have Markdown enabled
Explicit message creation
For convenience, message objects are created implicitly by calling message methods on the client. We can however do this explicitly to avoid hitting the magic method.
Attachments
When using attachments, the easiest way is to provide an array of data as shown in the examples, which is actually converted to an Attachment object under the hood. You can also attach an Attachment object to the message:
Each attachment field is also an object, an AttachmentField. They can be used as well instead of their data in array form:
You can also set the attachments and fields directly if you have a whole lot of them:
