Credits

Inspiration for this package occurred while trying to send statistics for projects in a uniform way to Slack channels for Label A.

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.

This package makes use of the Quickchart.io to draw diagrams.

Usage

from slacktastic.client import SlackClient
from slacktastic.template import Attachment, PieChart, Message

client = SlackClient(webhook_url='YOUR WEBHOOK URL')
attachment = Attachment(
    title='Cool block title',
    title_link='https://labela.nl',
    text='Some awesome text')

chart = PieChart(
        title="Test data",
        labels=['Ride', 'Reservation'],
        values=[22, 55]
    )

# You can now pass custom ChartJS options for all diagrams! See ChartJS docs
chart.set_options({
    title: {
    display: true,
    text: 'Cool title',
    fontColor: 'hotpink',  # For testing purposes only...
    fontSize: 32,
})

another_chart = BarChart(
        "Test data", labels=['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May'],
        data={
            'Test 1': [1, 2, 4, 8, 16],
            'Test 2': [7, 3, 45, 1, 12],
        }
)

# Customise the background colors of your data if you don't like our scheme
another_chart.set_background_colors([
    "#000", "#3333", "#666", "#999", "#CCC"
])

message = Message(
    text="I want to show you some *magic* :sparkles:",
    attachments=[attachment, chart]
)
client.send_message(message)
