Slack Notifier

Slack Notifier sends notifications and messages to Slack service using Incoming Webhook. It can be used both on the server (Node.js) and the client-side (Browser).

It is basically designed for notification messages, not support file attachment yet. You may also use this for error reporting purpose for your production environment because

• error stack is sent in code format when an Error object is thrown to the send() method.
• you can turn on/off the service globally as the enabled option can be given through the configure() method.

Install with npm

npm install slack-notifier --save

Install with bower

bower install slack-notifier --save

CDN

<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/slack-notifier@2.0.0/dist/slack-notifier.browser.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

TypeScript

Type declarations are included in the package. Node.js users can continue to use CommonJS:

var slackNotifier = require('slack-notifier');

Browser users can load the bundled script, which exposes window.slackNotifier. The browser bundle uses fetch when available and falls back to jQuery.ajax.

Usage

slackNotifier.configure({
    url: '' // your Webhook URL (mandatory)
    // username: 'your-custom-name',
    // channel: '#your-custom-channel',
    // icon_url: '/path/to/your/icon',
    // icon_emoji: ':slack:',
    // enabled: true or false (default to true; if false all notification will not be sent; useful if you want to turn off this service from a place)
    // callback: function() { } // The callback function to be executed when every notification is sent
});
