'providers' => [
  Maknz\Slack\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class,
],

Then add the facade to your aliases array:, _(*6)

'aliases' => [
  ...
  'Slack' => Maknz\Slack\Laravel\Facade::class,
],

  ...
  'Maknz\Slack\Laravel\ServiceProvider',
],

Configuration

The config file comes with defaults and placeholders. Configure at least one team and any defaults you'd like to change., _(*11)

Usage

The Slack facade is now your interface to the library. Any method you see being called an instance of Maknz\Slack\Client is available on the Slack facade for easy use., _(*12)

Note that if you're using the facade in a namespace (e.g. App\Http\Controllers in Laravel 5) you'll need to either use Slack at the top of your class to import it, or append a backslash to access the root namespace directly when calling methods, e.g. \Slack::method()., _(*13)

// Send a message to the default channel
Slack::send('Hello world!');

// Send a message to a different channel
Slack::to('#accounting')->send('Are we rich yet?');

// Send a private message
Slack::to('@username')->send('psst!');

Now head on over to Slack for PHP for more examples, including attachments and message buttons., _(*14)
