# Welcome to StackSlash!

# Tasks

StackSlash stores your tasks in your slack, which means all your tasks are automatically saved in a database and are accessible **remotely!**

## Create tasks for specific channels

You can create tasks in a particular channel and we make sure its accessible to only members of that channel. ***View and Edit rights*** are only allowed for the members of that channel

## Switch to another channel

You can switch from one to another by clicking a list item on the left.

## List of commands

|  Command              |Description                          |Usage                         |

|----------------|-------------------------------|-----------------------------|

|/addtodo todoname|`Adds a todo item to the list for that channel`            |`/addtodo buy milk`            |

|/listtodo          |`Lists out all the todo tasks for that channel`            |`/listtodo`            |

## Delete a Todo

You can delete a todo by typing the **/marktodo todoname** button in the file explorer. The file will be moved into the **Trash** folder and automatically deleted after 7 days of inactivity. (Trashing the todo is in beta currently)

## Project Description

This project contains three branches - 

*`*remotes/origin/master *remotes/origin/sr/no-web-hooks *remotes/origin/with-webhooks`*

 

Master contains the current code deployed on the aws server

no-web-hook shows the approach of sending slack messages without using web hooks

with-webhooks shows the approach of sending slack messages using webhooks

**Webhook Approach**

    function  postSlackMessage(body,  req)  {

    	request.post({

    			url:  req.body.response_url,

    			json:  body,

    			headers:  {

    				"Content-Type":  "application/json"

    			}

    		},function(error,  response,  body)  {

    				console.log(body);

    		}

    	)}

    }

   This approach caches the `response_url` *`[webhook]`* coming in the request and sends the response at that `response_url`
