Flask-Slacker
A Flask extension for Slacker.
Installation
pip install Flask-SlackerGetting started
To quickly start using Flask-Slacker, simply create a Slacker instance:
from flask import Flask
from flask_slacker import Slacker
app = Flask(__name__)
slacker = Slacker(app, token='my-token')Alternatively, if you're using the application factory pattern:
from flask_slacker import Slacker
slacker = Slacker(token='my-token')and then later call init_app where you create your application object:
from flask import Flask
from flask_slacker import Slacker
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
slacker = Slacker(token='my-super-secret-token')
slacker.init_app(app)
# more here..
return appYou can also set SLACKER_TOKEN as an environment variable so you don't have to pass the token argument to the Slacker class:
from flask import Flask
from flask_slacker import Slacker
def create_app():
app = Flask(__name__)
slacker = Slacker()
slacker.init_app(app)
return appExamples
from http import HTTPStatus
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
from flask_slacker import Slacker
app = Flask(__name__)
slacker = Slacker(app, token="my-super-secret-token")
# slacker = Slacker() # reading from environment
@app.route("/send_notification", methods=["POST"])
def send_notification():
data = request.get_json()
channel = data.get("channel", "#random")
username = data.get("username")
message = data.get("message")
slacker.chat.post_message(
channel, message,
username=username
)
response = {"message": f"Slack message sent to #{channel}!"}
return jsonify(response), HTTPStatus.CREATED
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000)And here is the response using httpie:
$ http POST http://localhost:5000/send_notification message=testing username=matheus channel=random
