DataWeave Slack Library

DataWeave Slack Library

This library provides constructs to simplify working with Slack blocks. Types can provide guidance and validation
when you write complex block structures. Builder functions help keep code lean by eliminating all boilerplate code.

Consider this 59 line block kit JSON.

With the DataWeave Slack library, you can generate the same message with this simple script, and easily refactor the script into a dynamic one when needed:

%dw 2.0
import * from slack::Builders
output application/json
var calendar = image("https://api.slack.com/img/blocks/bkb_template_images/notifications.png", "calendar")
---
blocks([
    section(text("Your next meeting is coming up:")),
    divider(),
    section("*Iris / Zelda 1-1*\nTuesday, January 21 4:00-4:30pm\nBuilding 2 - Havarti Cheese (3)", calendar),
    context([
        image("https://api.slack.com/img/blocks/bkb_template_images/notificationsWarningIcon.png", "warning icon"),
        mrkdwn("Will change status to *busy*")
    ]),
    divider(),
    actions([button("Cancel", "cancel-meeting") withStyle "danger"])
])
