A logger backend for posting errors to Slack.

You can find the hex package [here](https://hex.pm/packages/slack_logger_backend), and the docs [here](http://hexdocs.pm/slack_logger_backend).

## Usage

First, add the client to your `mix.exs` dependencies:

```elixir

def deps do

  [{:slack_logger_backend, "~> 0.0.1"}]

end

```

Then run `$ mix do deps.get, compile` to download and compile your dependencies.

Add the `:slack_logger_backend` application as your list of applications in `mix.exs`:

```elixir

def application do

  [applications: [:logger, :slack_logger_backend]]

end

```

Finally, add `SlackLoggerBackend.Logger` to your list of logging backends in your app's config:

```elixir

config :logger, backends: [SlackLoggerBackend.Logger, :console]

```

You can set the log levels you want posted to slack in the config:

```elixir

config SlackLoggerBackend, :levels, [:debug, :info, :warn, :error]

```

Alternatively, do both in one step:

```elixir

config :logger, backends: [{SlackLoggerBackend.Logger, :error}]

config :logger, backends: [{SlackLoggerBackend.Logger, [:info, error]}]

```

You'll need to create a custom incoming webhook URL for your Slack team. You can either configure the webhook

in your config:

```elixir

config SlackLoggerBackend, :slack, [url: "http://example.com"]

```

... or you can put the webhook URL in the `SLACK_LOGGER_WEBHOOK_URL` environment variable if you prefer. If

you have both the environment variable will be preferred.
