# Slack Appender for log4js-node

Sends log events to a [slack](https://slack.com) channel. This is an optional appender for use with [log4js](https://log4js-node.github.io/log4js-node/).
```bash
npm install @log4js-node/slack
```

## Configuration

* `type` - `@log4js-node/slack`
* `token` - `string` - your Slack API token (see the slack and slack-node docs)
* `channel_id` - `string` - the channel to send log messages
* `icon_url` - `string` (optional) - the icon to use for the message
* `username` - `string` - the username to display with the message
* `layout` - `object` (optional, defaults to `basicLayout`) - the layout to use for the message (see [layouts](layouts.md)).

## Example

```javascript
log4js.configure({
appenders: {
alerts: {
type: '@log4js-node/slack',
token: 'abc123def',
channel_id: 'prod-alerts',
username: 'our_application'
}
},
categories: {
default: { appenders: ['alerts'], level: 'error' }
}
});
```
This configuration will send all error (and above) messages to the `prod-alerts` slack channel, with the username `our_application`.
