Slack History Keeper written in Dart

slack_history_keeper

An application that scrapes Slack chat and saves history.

Requirements

• Have sass installed. Can also be sassc. Just make sure to configure the transformer.
• Declare an environment variable called SLACK_TOKEN with a string value of your Slack Api token.
• Declare an environment variable called SLACK_DB_URI with the URI of your mongo database that will store the messages.

Usage

• To get all dependencies, type dart tool/grind.dart get
• (Optional) To upgrade the project's dependencies, type dart tool/grind.dart upgrade
• To start the backend, cd backend/ and dart bin/main.dart. This fetches and prints chat logs of all channels associated with the slack token provided. It also starts a REST Api exposing some end points used by the frontend.
• To start the front end, in another terminal, cd frontend/ and pub serve.
• You can then access the app via Dartium @ http://localhost:8080 or with Chrome (but it'll take longer to compile Dart code to JS) to the same address.
