Status:	Under Development
Location:	http://github.com/bqv/weechat-slack
Version:	0.1.0
Disclaimer:	Slack's API is a thing of horror

Description

A weechat plugin in C to extend the chat client to support Slack workspaces via the RTM and Web APIs.

Installing

See http://github.com/bqv/weechat-extras for the suite this is part of and a repository/package for your distribution.

Dependencies

• libwebsockets (static, submodule)
• json-c (static, submodule)
• weechat (>= v1.7)

Building

git clone git://github.com/bqv/weechat-slack.git
cd weechat-slack
make
make install

Do NOT run make install as root, it installs the plugin to your local weechat plugins directory

Development

I use emacs for development of this, although I am also a fan of vim. My debug build process involves static analysis with clang and cppcheck, and dynamic analysis with address-sanitizer and leak-sanitizer. My debug evaluation process involves gdb/mi run with the arguments -ex "handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass" --args weechat -a 2>asan.log since part of weechat and it's default plugins use SIGPIPE as control.

I have no real requests for style of pull requests besides a wish that you keep vaguely to the style I have adopted for this project.

Happy coding!

Appropriating

As there is no C library for Slack at the time of writing, this project implements the APIs from scratch, and as such one could butcher this repository to create a minimal Slack C library. Up to you.
