StdLib Service Creation

You’ll now want to create a StdLib service for your Slack App. 
We’ve built a slack template for you to use to get a bot up and running with very little effort. 
In the stdlib directory you just created, type:
$ lib create -t slack
You’ll be asked to enter a Service Name, we recommend slack-app for the purposes of this tutorial.
/***********\
This will fetch the slack template from our utils.templates service that’s available open source on GitHub. 
It will run an npm installation locally for necessary files, you can read additional documentation here. 
Once complete, you will be instructed to enter the project directory.

$ cd <username>/slack-app
To make sure your slack-app is ready, let’s run a test “Slash” command — for example, this would respond to /hello hey there when run in your team in the channel “general” by the user “test”.
$ lib .commands.hello test general "hey there"
You’ll get a result that looks like this:

Example Response to “/hello” command
Great! To see what’s happening behind the scenes, run the exact same command with a -d flag (debug mode on):
$ lib .commands.hello test general "hey there" -d
This will show what’s going on in the background, using a local version of the StdLib gateway for testing purposes.

We can test events as well. For example, this as a “message” event that will be triggered any time a message is posted to a public channel (somebody writes “hey”):
$ lib .events.message test general "hey"

Sample Event Response
Finally, deploy your service live to StdLib — your app won’t quite be ready to use yet, but we need it to talk to Slack to verify that it’s working.
$ lib up dev

StdLib Service Deployment Takes Only a Few Seconds
