# Personalized New Relic Dashboard App in Slack

This tiny Bolt ⚡️ app demonstrates how to build Slack apps utilizing Slack's new features and New Relic APIs. This app displays the list of New Relic applications and Slack users can choose one to check from the list. Also, users can run NRQL (New Relic Query Language) queries in modals (=without leaving Slack).

## App Home

Slack apps can leverage any of [Block Kit](https://api.slack.com/block-kit), [a collection of powerful built-in UI components](https://api.slack.com/tools/block-kit-builder?mode=appHome), to make
[Home Tab](https://api.slack.com/surfaces/tabs) not only informative, furthermore interactive. This app illustrates how to build a kind of dashboard UI and also place buttons and drop-down menus in a user-friendly manner.

## Modals

Modals are dynamic and interactive space for collecting data from Slack users and displaying information. Needless to say, we can use [Block Kit](https://api.slack.com/tools/block-kit-builder?mode=modal) in modals. In addition, [Input blocks](https://api.slack.com/reference/block-kit/blocks#input) are available only in modals.

# Prerequisites

## Slack App

* Create a Slack App at https://api.slack.com/
* Sign up for App Home Beta (the feature is in the open beta as of Nov 2019)
* Enable bot scopes (`app_mentions:read`, `users:read`)
* Enable event subscriptions (`app_home_opened`, `app_mention`)
* Enable Interactive Components (Just set `Request URL` correctly and save the change)
* Install the App into your workspace



## New Relic

* REST API Key - `https://rpm.newrelic.com/accounts/{your account id}/integrations?page=api_keys`
* Insights API Key - `https://insights.newrelic.com/accounts/{your account id}/manage/api_keys`

# Local Development

```bash
export SLACK_APP_DEBUG=1
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-xxx-yyy
export SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=abc
npm i
npm run local
```

```bash
docker build -t new-relic-app .
docker run \
-p 3000:3000 \
-e SLACK_APP_DEBUG=1 \
-e SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-xxx-yyy \
-e SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=abc \
