:santa: The code behind Slack Secret Santa

Slack Secret Santa app

Just go to https://slack-secret-santa.herokuapp.com/ and have fun.

Code source is under MIT License.

• This application is powered by Symfony 2.8 and his new Micro Kernel;
• Hosting is provided by Heroku;
• Session are stored in Heroku Redis servers;
• Frontend is built with bootstrap, obviously (any help welcome from designer ^^);
• For now, the calls to "ChatPostMessage" Slack API are done procedurally, this may be hard on the API / PHP / Heroku for big Secret Santa... Let us know!
• Built with ♥ by @pyrech and @damienalexandre.

Install, run and deploy

• Download and install the Heroku Toolbelt
• If you haven't already, log in to your Heroku account and follow the prompts to create a new SSH public key.
• Give your heroku details to Damien to be able to deploy

$ heroku login
$ heroku git:remote -a slack-secret-santa
$ heroku plugins:install heroku-redis
$ git push heroku master

The app require:

• a Redis server
• PHP 5.6+

As we rely on env variables, we cannot use server:run. From web/:

SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET=TOTO SLACK_CLIENT_ID=TOTO php -d variables_order=EGPCS -S 127.0.0.1:8000 ../etc/router.php

Variables are:

• SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET: Application secret from Slack;
• SLACK_CLIENT_ID: Application id from Slack;
• REDIS_URL: The full redis connexion url (default redis://localhost:6379)
