A simple framework for working with Slack interactivity (https://api.slack.com/interactivity).
pip install slacktools-interactivity
Register your CommandHandler
class with the ComandFactory
and when you receive a
command request from Slack simply grab the command instance from the factory and execute it.
Define your command:
from interactivity import CommandFactory, CommandHandler, CommandValidationError
from myproject import get_status, post_status
@CommandFactory.register("/status")
class StatusCommand(CommandHandler):
def _validate(self):
if not get_status(id=self.payload.text):
raise CommandValidationError("Not a valid id.")
def _execute(self):
post_status(id=self.payload.text)
Handle the Slack command request:
from rest_framework.views import APIView
from rest_framework.response import Response
from interactivity import CommandFactory
class CommandsView(APIView):
def post(self, request):
handler = CommandFactory.make_handler(request.data)
handler.execute()
return Response()
Action commands allow you execute many different actions from a single Slack command. The text following the command is used to determine which action should be performed. The text is split by spaces, the first character set determines the action and the remain character sets are passed to the action as options/parameters.
The below class definitions will handle the following command: /status service api
from interactivity import (
ActionCommandHandler,
CommandAction,
CommandValidationError,
CommandFactory
)
from myproject import post_status_msg
class ServiceStatus(CommandAction):
def validate(self):
if len(self.options) == 0:
CommandValidationError(self.payload, "Missing service name")
def execute(self):
post_status_msg(self.options[0])
@CommandFactory.register("/status")
class StatusCommand(ActionCommandHandler):
ACTIONS = {
"service": ServiceStatus
}
