@retsoksirhc/slackbot

A simple slack bot that uses the Slack Bolt API in socket mode. You can register plugins to send and receive messages. See the example app for usage.

NOTE: In version 2.0.0, the webserver was removed from this library. You should turn on socket mode instead, so you don't have to expose an http port to the world.
