slack-ascii-emoticons

slack-ascii-emoticons is a Slack app to send ASCII emoticons. (Technically, it should be called Unicode art.)

Demo

Installation

• Install serverless
• Install the dependencies

  yarn install
  

• Deploy with serverless

  serverless deploy
  

• Note the output of the previous command, there should be something like

  endpoints:
    POST - https://********.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/dev/webhook
  

• Create a Slack app with a slash command, with the scope chat:write:bot, or chat:write. Assign the URL above to the slash command's request URL.

Usage

• To get the list of all available emoticons

  /<slash command> help
  

• To send an emoticon

  /<slash command> <emoticon name>
  

• To add/remove emoticons, you just need to edit src/emoMapping.ts and redeploy, or edit src/emoMapping.js directly in the Lambda console.
