Slack Client
A simple client to send messages to channels in Slack.
Example
package main
import {
"fmt"
slack "github.com/tommzn/go-slack"
}
func main() {
client := slack.New()
header := "Greetings!"
channel := "<ChannelId>"
// Send a message with header to a channel
if err := client.SendToChannel("Hello Slack", channel, &header); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
// Set default channel
client.WithChannel(channel)
// Send a message to default channel, including a header.
if err := client.Send("Hello Slack", &header); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
// Send a message without a header
if err := client.Send("Hello Slack", nil); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}
Auth Token
Each request to Slack Web API needs an auth token. This client expects an auth token provided by env variable SLACK_TOKEN. As an alternative you pass a SecretsManager to NewFromConfig to obtain a token from different sources.
Config
A default channel can be provided by config. See https://github.com/tommzn/go-config.
Example Config File
Following config file defines "Channel05" as default channel.
slack:
channel: Channel05
