Extracts information from Slack payload

Payload

When using interactive messages in Slack's API, the result is returned as a json encoded array through $_POST["payload"]. This application helps extracting information from that payload., _(*1)

Installation

composer require ontanj/slack-payload, _(*2)

Usage

The Payload class is in the namespace SlackPayload., _(*3)

To instantiate the Payload class, pass $_POST["payload"] to the contructor. Now you can recieve the information by using functions of the object., _(*4)
