This change simplifies the creation of the Slack web api interface and reduces the amount of copy paste code.

I also simplified the callbacks in the callAPI and callAPIWithoutToken methods.


// generate all API methods
slackApiMethods.forEach(function(slackMethod) {
// most slack api methods are only two parts, of the form group.method, e.g. auth.test

Sure thing, is there a jsdoc convention for inline docs like this? Most of what I know is for method signatures or class definitions.

I think I got all the JSDoc ironed out 😄

I also pulled out this request.post and any other duplicate code, this reduces callAPI and callAPIWithoutToken to constructing options objects, all other request logic is handled here

Having a function and removing the code duplicate parts is a good choice!

You've indicated that callback is optional. But you didn't check if cb is defined or not. Is it truely optional?

The first line checks for a callback and if it's not defined sets it to the noop function. That simplifies the checks later since cb will always be defined.

The checks on cb were there before I refactored so it seems the previous behavior was to allow optional callbacks. I'm keeping with that for backwards compatibility.
