## Usage

Use TypeScript for best in class instellisense.

```javascript
import * as slackme from 'slackme'

// First setup the hook
const mySlackme = new Slackme('https://some.slack.webhook.url')
mySlackme.sendMessage:{{
  // MessageOptions here
}, 'myAwesomeChannel'}
```

The message interface follows [Slack's docs (click here)](https://api.slack.com/docs/message-formatting) and looks like this:

```javascript
interface IAttachmentField {
  title: string
  value: string
  short?: boolean
}

interface IMessageOptions {
  /**
   * "Required plain-text summary of the attachment."
   */
  fallback?: string,
  /**
   * a side color
   */
  color?: string,
  /**
   * a message to show above
   */
  pretext?: string,
  /**
   * author name of the attachment
   */
  author_name?: string,
  /**
   * a link to the author
   */
  author_link?: string,
  /**
   * a string to the author
   */
  author_icon?: string,
  /**
   * a title for the attachment
   */
  title?: string,
  /**
   * a link for the title
   */
  title_link?: string,
  /**
   * the main text of the message
   */
  text?: string,
  fields?: IAttachmentField[],
  image_url?: string,
  thumb_url?: string,
  footer?: string,
  footer_icon?: string,
  /**
   * timestamp as epoch time
   */
  ts?: number
}
```

Alternatively, there is the option of specifying a SlackMessage class

```javascript
const mySlackMessage = new SlackMessage({ /* message options here } */, mySlackme)
mySlackMessage.title = 'new Title' // modify message options
mySlackMessage.sendToRoom('general')
mySlackMessage.title = 'another Title'
mySlackMessage.sendToRoom('anotherroom')
```
