Laravel Slack
=============

[](#laravel-slack)

This package allows you to easily compose and send Slack messages from Laravel applications

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Step-1:

```
composer require aranyasen/laravel-slack
```

Step-2: Publish the config:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider=Aranyasen\\LaravelSlack\\SlackServiceProvider
```

It creates `config/laravel-slack.php`.

Step-3: Add parameters `SLACK_WORKSPACE` and `SLACK_TOKEN` in .env
(See reference below on how to generate a Slack API token)

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
// Send a simple message to a channel, say "some-channel"
(new SlackNotification())
    ->channel('some-channel')
    ->text("Hello!")
    ->send();

// Send a section (Ref: https://api.slack.com/reference/block-kit/blocks#section)
(new SlackNotification())
    ->channel('some-channel')
    ->section() // Starts a section
    ->fields() // Starts a field in this section
    ->markdown(":fire: @here This is an emergency :fire:")
    ->endFields()
    ->endSection()
    ->send();

// Send a raw JSON block (example from https://api.slack.com/block-kit/building#block_basics)
(new SlackNotification())
    ->channel('some-channel')
    ->block([
      "type" => "section",
      "text" => [
        "type" => "mrkdwn",
        "text" => "New Paid Time Off request from \n\n",
      ],
    ])
    ->send();

// Compose a message and dump the JSON that'll be sent to Slack. Useful for debugging.
(new SlackNotification())
    ->channel('some-channel')
    ->text("Hello!")
    ->dump();

// Upload a file
(new SlackNotification())
    ->channel('some-channel')
    ->file($filePath, 'Some filename')
    ->upload();

// Optionally, a title, or an accompanying message can be added with a file
(new SlackNotification())
    ->channel('some-channel')
    ->file($filePath, 'Some filename')
    ->withInitialComment('some comment')
    ->withTitle('some title')
    ->upload();
```

#### APIs:

[](#apis)

`channel()` -> Channel
`header()` -> Create a header section
`context()` -> A small footer text
`divider()` -> A horizontal line
`section()` / `endSection()` --> A section block
`lists()` -> List of items
`field()` / `endfield()` --> Inside section
`markdown()` -> A markdown block, allowed only inside a section
`block()` -> Pre-composed block
`send()` -> Send to Slack
`dump()` -> Dump the final JSON that'd be sent to Slack API `file()` -> Upload a file
`withInitialComment()` -> Add a message with a file upload `withTitle()` -> Add a title with file upload

### Testing:

[](#testing)

Invoke `SlackNotification::fake()` to ensure HTTP requests to Slack are mocked. Internally it uses Laravel's [Http::fake()](https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/http-client#testing), so all available `Http::assert*` methods can be used for assertions. Example:

```
SlackNotification::fake();
(new SlackNotification())
    ->channel('channel-1')
    ->send();
Http::assertSent(static fn(Request $request) => $request['channel'] === 'channel-1');
```

#### To create a Slack API token

[](#to-create-a-slack-api-token)

- Visit
- If no app is present, create an app (you may select "from scratch")
- If the app was created earlier, select the app under *App Name*
- On the left pane, under "Features" click "OAuth & Permissions"
- Under *Scopes* > *Bot Token Scopes*, click *Add an OAuth Scope*
- Add these scopes: `chat.write` and `chat.write.public`.
    (note: `channels.read`, `users.read` may be needed in future versions of this package, but not now)
- Click "*reinstall your app*" in the yellow bar that appears above
- In the dropdown "Search for a channel", select a channel. Any channel would do - won't matter now.
- Allow it
- Copy the "*Bot User OAuth Token*" and share
