# slacktyping

> Make slack show that you're typing when others start typing.

#### A harmless but little annoying module.

If someone starts typing in a slack channel that you're in, this module will make it say you're typing.

## Usage

Create a .env file that contains your [user token](https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens)

- Optionally, add a delay to make your "typing" begin a bit later and seem more "human."

- Optionally, add a comma seperated "do not disturb" list (dnd) to prevent this from working in selected channels or from being trigged by selected users.

It should like like this:

#### .env

```

token=xoxp-123456....

delay=1300

dnd=C12345,C4324...

```

Then install the module via git or npm, directions below.

## Install

### git

With git, run

```

$ git clone https://github.com/jekrb/slacktyping.git

$ cd slacktyping

... edit .env to add token and optional delay...

$ npm install

$ npm start

```

### npm

With [npm](https://npmjs.org/) installed, run

```

$ npm install slacktyping -g

```

Use `slacktyping` in directory with a `.env` file that contains your token and optional delay.
