## Features

- A landing page you can point users to fill in their emails and receive an invite (`https://slack.yourdomain.com`)

- An `` badge to embed on any website that shows connected users in *realtime* with socket.io.

- A SVG badge that works well from static mediums (like GitHub README pages)

## API

Loading `slackin` will return a `Function` that creates a `HTTP.Server` instance:

```js

const slackin = require('slackin')

slackin.default({

  token: 'yourtoken',                             // required

  interval: 1000,

  org: 'your-slack-subdomain',                    // required

  path: '/some/path/you/host/slackin/under/',     // defaults to '/'

  channels: 'channel,channel,...',                // for single channel mode

  silent: false                                   // suppresses warnings

}).listen(3000)

```

This will show response times from Slack and how many online users you have on the console. The returned `http.Server` has an `app` property that is the `express` application that you can define or override routes on.

All the metadata for your organization can be fetched via a JSON HTTP request to `/data`.

## Caught a Bug?

1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) this repository to your own GitHub account and then [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) it to your local device

2. Uninstall slackin if it's already installed: `npm uninstall -g slack`

3. Link it to the global module directory: `npm link`

4. Transpile the source code and watch for changes: `npm start`

Yey! Now can use the `slack` command everywhere.
