django-slack-oauth 0.6

Handles OAuth and stores slack token

Django module for handling Slack OAuth. In order to use Slack OAuth in your project you need to create application https://api.slack.com/applications Users must be authenticated on your site.

Install

pip install django-slack-oauth

Set up

1. Add django_slack_oauth to your INSTALLED_APPS settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_slack_oauth',
)

2. Run ./manage migrate; Django>=1.8 is required.

3. Include the application URLconf in your project urls.py:

url(r'^slack/', include('django_slack_oauth.urls')),

4.1 Set up in your settings, these are required:

SLACK_CLIENT_ID = os.environ.get('SLACK_CLIENT_ID')
SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET = os.environ.get('SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET')

# Optional parameters
# Defaults
SLACK_SCOPE = 'identify,read,post'
SLACK_SUCCESS_REDIRECT_URL = '/'

# These are in case slack team decides
# to change it's endpoints
SLACK_AUTHORIZATION_URL = 'https://slack.com/oauth/authorize'
SLACK_OAUTH_ACCESS_URL = 'https://slack.com/api/oauth.access'

With optional settings you could provide custom scope or redirect url upon completion

4.2 To avoid forgery attacks we pass state param in authorization request on slack endpoint. This state is stored in cache. For production environments I’d highly recommend to set up your cache backend using Redis or memcached other than LocMemCache. Example:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
        'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211',
    }
}

5. Use the url to authenticate your users in your templates

<a href='{% url 'slack_auth' %}'>Get slacked</a>

6. Find your token in slack_user table
