Loaf

Loaf is a slack client written in python

Why?

Why not

Getting started

1. Create a slack app for your personal use here: https://api.slack.com/apps?new_app=1

2. Add the redirect URL 'http://127.0.0.1:6543/' to your apps permissions page

3. Put your client secret and client id in a file named config.json:

   {
       "client": {
           "id": "CLIENT_ID",
           "secret": "CLIENT_SECRET"
       }
   }
   

4. Run this to save a access token to your config.json

   $ python3 -m venv venv
   $ venv/bin/pip install -e.
   $ venv/bin/python -m loaf.auth
   

5. Run the client

   $ venv/bin/loaf
   

Notes

The Slack API wrapper is extremely bare bones, since I only impemented what I needed. Existing Asyncio aware API wrappers like 'slacker' weren't used since I wanted to write my own wrapper

This is the first application I've written using urwid, so pull requests are welcomed to help improve the code.
