This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.
The project lacked proper README.md documentation. I added a better description of the module, usage and configuration information, as well as info about issues and pull requests, and the license.

# ghost-slack-integration | ||
Super simple Ghost blog Slack-integration to notify Slack channel upon new posts. | ||
# rss-slack-integration | ||
This module implements a super simple rss feed Slack integration that posts a | ||
notification to a Slack group channel when new posts are added to the feed. | ||
|
||
The module is a thin wrapper around the excellent | ||
[rss-watcher module](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rss-watcher). It essentially | ||
uses the rss-watcher's `new article` event to fetch the article title and url, | ||
and does a post request to a given Slack group's incoming web hook URL with a | ||
message consisting of the article title and url. | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
Simply install in project using `npm install --save rss-slack-integration`. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Usage and Configuration | ||
|
||
The module is very simple. It exposes a single function `start` which expects a | ||
configuration object as its sole parameter. | ||
|
||
Example usage: | ||
|
||
```JavaScript | ||
var rsi = require("rss-slack-integration"); | ||
|
||
rsi.start({ | ||
feed: "https://example.com/rss", | ||
interval: 60, | ||
slackHook: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/yourservicehash", | ||
slackIcon: "https://example.com/icon.png", | ||
slackBotUser: "Bot Username"}) | ||
``` | ||
The `feed` property should be the URL of the rss feed you want to receive | ||
updates about. Take care to provide the protocol part of the URL. The `interval` | ||
property specifies the number of seconds between each poll of the rss feed. | ||
Setting this to `60` means that the `rss-watcher` module will poll the | ||
rss-feed for changes once a minute. | ||
|
||
The `slackHook` property should be set to whatever URL was generated by Slack | ||
when you created the | ||
[incoming webhook](https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks). The `slackIcon` | ||
property should be set to the URL of the icon you want to use for the Slack | ||
bot. The last property, `slackBotUser` should be set to whatever bot name you | ||
want your Slack web hook messages to appear under, for example the name of the | ||
rss feed's site. | ||
|
||
