slack-blocks

This crate brings Slack's terrific [Block Kit 🔗] to the Rust ecosystem.

Inside, you'll find models for all of Slack's Layout Blocks, Block Elements, and Composition Objects. Each structure has Slack's API documentation copied in-place so you don't have to leave your editor to remember the details of the block kit API.

Every model has builders that leverage Rust's type system to help you provide every required field, so you can be confident in your app.

Troubleshooting common compiler errors

Method build not found for ...Builder - Dig into the error message, you'll find something like RequiredMethodNotCalled<method::foo>, meaning you need to call .foo() before you can call .build()!

Example

Using an example from Slack's Documentation: json { "type": "section", "text": { "text": "*Sally* has requested you set the deadline for the Nano launch project", "type": "mrkdwn" }, "accessory": { "type": "datepicker", "action_id": "datepicker123", "initial_date": "1990-04-28", "placeholder": { "type": "plain_text", "text": "Select a date" } } }

You can use raw Builders like so: ```rust use slack_blocks::{text::ToSlackMarkdown, blocks::Section, elems::DatePicker};

let section = Section::builder() .text("Sally has requested you set the deadline for the Nano launch project".markdown()) .accessory(DatePicker::builder() .actionid("datepicker123") .initialdate((28, 4, 1990)) .placeholder("Select a date") .build() ) .build(); ```

Or enable the unstable feature and use xml macros: ```rust use slack_blocks::blox::*;

let pick_date = blox! { };

let section = blox! { "Sally has requested you set the deadline for the Nano launch project" }; ```
