# Slack Messaging

[![Version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/slack-messaging)](https://crates.io/crates/slack-messaging)
[![License](https://img.shields.io/crates/l/slack-messaging)](LICENSE)
[![Test](https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/kaicoh/slack-messaging/test.yml)](https://github.com/kaicoh/slack-messaging/actions/workflows/test.yml)

This is a library for [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) to support building messages for [slack messaging api](https://api.slack.com/messaging/managing).
Using this, you can build any messages in type-safe way like following.

```rust
use slack_messaging::{mrkdwn, Message};
use slack_messaging::blocks::{elements::Button, Actions, Section};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let message = Message::builder()
.block(
Section::builder()
.text(mrkdwn!("You have a new request:\n**"))
.build()
)
.block(
Section::builder()
.field(mrkdwn!("*Type:*\nComputer (laptop)"))
.field(mrkdwn!("*When:*\nSubmitted Aug 10"))
.build()
)
.block(
Actions::builder()
.element(
Button::builder()
.text("Approve")
.value("approve")
.primary()
.build()
)
.element(
Button::builder()
.text("Deny")
.value("deny")
.danger()
.build()
)
.build()
)
.build();

let req = reqwest::Client::new()
.post("https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
.json(&message);

if let Err(err) = req.send().await {
eprintln!("{}", err);
}
}
```

The message payload of the above example is following.

```json
{
"blocks": [
{
"type": "section",
"text": {
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": "You have a new request:\n**"
}
},
{
"type": "section",
"fields": [
{
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": "*Type:*\nComputer (laptop)"
},
{
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": "*When:*\nSubmitted Aug 10"
}
]
},
{
"type": "actions",
"elements": [
{
"type": "button",
"text": {
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "Approve"
},
"value": "approve",
"style": "primary"
},
{
"type": "button",
"text": {
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "Deny"
},
"value": "deny",
"style": "danger"
}
]
}
]
}
```

## Optional Features

The following are a list of [Cargo features](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/cargo/reference/features.html#the-features-section) that can be enabled or disabled.

### fmt

Enable `fmt` module and format messages in [this way](https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting).

```rust
use chrono::prelude::*;
use slack_messaging::fmt::DateFormatter;

// Formatter without optional link.
let f = DateFormatter::builder()
.token("{date_short} at {time}")
.build();

let dt = DateTime::parse_from_rfc3339("2023-02-27T12:34:56+09:00").unwrap();

assert_eq!(
f.format(&dt),
""
);

// You can also set optional link when formatting.
assert_eq!(
f.format_with_link(&dt, "https://example.com"),
""
);

// Formatter with optional link.
let f = DateFormatter::builder()
.token("{date_short} at {time}")
.link("https://example.com")
.build();

// This time, format method returns text with link set to the formatter.
assert_eq!(
f.format(&dt),
""
);
```
