Summary

The slacksignature middleware, which is currently located in the internal directory, has proven to be valuable and potentially reusable in other projects. To foster code reuse and follow best practices, we propose moving this middleware to the pkg directory.

Goal

The main goal of this task is to make slacksignature, a Fiber middleware for validating incoming Slack requests, easily accessible and reusable across multiple projects without duplicating code or altering its implementation for each new project.

Tasks

• Review the current implementation of the slacksignature middleware for any project-specific dependencies that might affect reusability.
• Move the slacksignature middleware from the internal directory to the pkg directory.
• Update any internal project references to the slacksignature middleware to reflect its new location in the pkg directory.
• Ensure that all tests pass after the migration to detect any potential issues early.
• Update the project's README and documentation, highlighting the availability of slacksignature middleware for use in other projects and providing basic usage instructions.

Potential Challenges

• Ensuring the slacksignature middleware does not have any project-specific dependencies that could hinder its reusability.
• Updating all internal references without missing any that could lead to build or runtime errors.

Benefits

• Promotes code reuse across projects, reducing the need to reinvent the wheel for each new project that requires Slack request validation.
• Aligns with the Go community's best practices regarding shared library management.
• Enhances the visibility and potential contributions to slacksignature middleware, improving its quality and adaptability over time.

Conclusion

Migrating the slacksignature middleware to the pkg directory aligns with our goals of promoting code reusability and adhering to best practices. This move will not only benefit our current projects but also the wider Go community by making a useful resource readily available.
