slack-block-kit's Issues

Button block does not require value

Inputs\Button throws an exception when no value is set. However, I noticed that the Slack Block Kit docs say the value isn't required.

Am I missing something? Will submit a PR if not.

Feature Request: Block Parser to parse existing Block JSON into an Object Tree

Right now we can build the Block Json from the Element Objects, but what if we have the json and want to modify/add/delete something ?
The best scenario for this, and the reason why i request this feature, is actually the External Data Source for the Select Menu. on interacting with the dropdown, slack will send a request to the App's configured Options Load Api :
https://api.slack.com/reference/block-kit/block-elements#external_select
apparently slack did not docuement the request body of this particular request they send but i have debugged it and it seems inside the view property they simply send back the same whole block json that was actually previously sent to slack to open the view.
in addition to that they send further information like what value was typed into the input field and stuff like that (not in the block part!)

So we need some kind of Parser which accepts this Block JSON and creates an Object Tree so we can then modify it and then encode to json like in status quo.

Need to add max limit on modal title

Hi,
I'm getting error if modal title is more than 24 character long. I think we need to add some validation for modal title.

Errors I'm getting from slack api:
[0] => [ERROR] failed to match all allowed schemas [json-pointer:/view/title]
[1] => [ERROR] must be less than 24 characters [json-pointer:/view/title/text]

eg code:
$msg = SlackBuilder::newModal();
$msg->title('this is a really long title')
