released this 13 Feb 19:24

Refactors the library to javascript, adds a lot of tests and restructures it to improve maintainability and extend functionality.

  • Creates two separate clients:
    • RTM; manages connection to Slack's RTM API, including reconnects
    • Web; provideas a callback interface to all of Slack's Web API endpoints
  • Moves the memory data store implementation off the clients and into its own class
  • Uncouples the model objects from the clients; model functions to send messages to channels etc are now accessed via the web and RTM client
  • Moves the transport layer (websockets and HTTP) to a pluggable model, so that complex transports (through request proxies etc) can be handled
  • Adds test coverage on most core functionality in the library
