Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

You and your partner should collaborate on the answers to these questions.

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
How did you go about exploring the Slack API? Did you learn anything that would be useful for your next project involving an API?	We found Slack API documentation was easy to read and follow. If we had to build something like an app that sends out notifications, this would be useful.
Give a short summary of the request/response cycle. Where does your program fit into that scheme?	The cycle is when the user requesting something from the computer/API. The API then searches for it and returns a value. We did that in our project when we requested a list of channels/users for our workspace from Slack and Slack sent that back to us.
How does your program check for and handle errors when using the Slack API?	We tested if our messages were sent correctly but we did not have time to work API error testing.
Did you need to make any changes to the design work we did in class? If so, what were they?	We surprisingly did not change much in our design. As we worked on our program, we learned that the way we had it worked. In fact, we actually took out a class because it didn't serve a purpose. We realize doing it the way we did, may have been sloppier and if we had time to refactor we would have cleaned it up and utilize another class.
Did you use any of the inheritance idioms we've talked about in class? How?	Yes, our Recipient class was a parent to Channel and User. We were able to use the send_method with Channel and User classes by having the send_message method in Recipient.
How does VCR aid in testing a program that uses an API?	It records all the testings and results that we have from the API when we have internet. When we don't have internet, the VCR will know how to respond to our tests.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Core Requirements
Git hygiene (no slack tokens)	yes
Comprehension questions	yes
Functionality
List users/channels	yes
Select user/channel	yes
Show details	yes
Send message	yes
Program runs without crashing	yes
Implementation

Tests written for sending a message	the tests that exist are good, but there are no edge cases tested
Overall

GREAT WORK on this project, Monick and Sara! Your project code is clean, well-written, your test's nominal cases look great, and overall works well. Notably, I think that your slack.rb file has great style, with case statements and good spacing and ideas... there was clearly thought and refactoring there-- well done!

The biggest thing to note is that there aren't any tests that talk about any edge cases; what happens when things go wrong? We didn't go into handling API errors in depth during class, but I'd encourage you two to start thinking about: what happens if my response comes back with a status code that's not 200 OK? Your code currently doesn't handle that and would break in those cases! Food for thought.

That being said, all of my other comments are minor suggestions for how to improve code style.

Overall, this is a great project submission; well done!

lib/channel.rb

+    end 
+
+    def self.list
+      method_url = "https://slack.com/api/channels.list"


Minor suggestion: Could this be a constant variable?

tildeee · 2019-09-21T07:27:43Z

lib/channel.rb

+      channels = response.parsed_response["channels"]
+      i = 0 
+      all_channels = []
+      channels.each do |channel|


Minor suggestion for refactoring: instead of using .each and i and incrementing i, consider using channels.each_with_index do |channel, index|, which has built-in support for an index

tildeee · 2019-09-21T07:27:49Z

lib/recipient.rb

+        channel: recipient,
+        text: message
+      }
+      slack_post = HTTParty.post(method_url, query: query_params)


Something to think about for the future: What happens if this POST request comes back with a response that has an error? Your code currently doesn't handle that!

lib/slack.rb

+    when "select user"
+      ap "Type a username or Slack ID."
+      search_user = gets.chomp
+      selected_recipient = SlackCli::User.list.find do |i|


Minor suggestion: Instead of the variable name i, could we change it to something like recipient or user? This just helps me understand what kinds of elements are in the SlackCli::User.list array

tildeee · 2019-09-21T07:28:42Z

lib/slack.rb

+      selected_recipient = SlackCli::User.list.find do |i|
+        i[:user_name]== search_user || i[:id] == search_user
+      end
+      if selected_recipient == nil 


Minor suggestion: the code selected_recipient.nil? does the same thing as selected_recipient == nil, in case that looks better in your opinion

test/channel_test.rb

Great tests in here!

test/recipient_test.rb

+    VCR.use_cassette("slack_details") do
+      test = SlackCli::Recipient.send_message(recipient:@selected_recipient.id, message:@message)
+      expect(test.code).must_equal 200
+      expect(test.body).must_include "IT WORKS!"


Honestly, this is a great test overall!
