Slack integration that allows you to search Urban Dictionary terms from the chat room in a similar way to Giphy.
First you will need to get your mashape key so you can make requests to Urban Dictionary API. After creating an account, check how to get your keys documentation.
Next, put the keys on your config file at conf/application.conf, or just set as an environment variable MASHAPE_KEY_URBAN.
Now, simply click on the "Deploy to Heroku" button under this section, or use the command sbt run.
Create a new slash command for your slack team.
Choose the command name you want (the /command you will need to type to call the integration) and put your app URL on the configuration with the /urban path (eg.: http://my-urban-integration.herokuapp.com/urban).
You can provide more configurations to help other users:
- Customize Name (eg.
urban-dictionary) - Customize Icon
- Autocomplete help text - Description (eg.
urban dictionary API) - Autocomplete help text - Usage Hint (eg.
/urban 'term') - Descriptive Label (eg.
urban dictionary)
I was planning to create a Slack app that could be installed from the Slack App Directory, but it has several requirements, and in the meanwhile I found that it already exists. Check it out
