Slack Orb in Go

This repository houses a conceptual prototype demonstrating the potential appearance and functionality of the CircleCI Slack orb, reimplemented in Go. Please note that this version is exploratory and not intended to supplant the original orb, nor is it advisable to utilize this in production environments. Explore, understand, and experiment, but proceed with caution when integrating it into practical applications. 🛠✨

Usage

Setup

In order to use the Slack Orb on CircleCI you will need to create a Slack App and provide an OAuth token. Find the guide in the wiki: How to setup Slack orb

Use In Config

For full usage guidelines, see the Orb Registry listing.

Templates

The Slack Orb comes with a number of included templates to get your started with minimal setup. Feel free to use an included template or create your own.

Template Preview	Template	Description
	basic_success_1	Should be used with the "pass" event.
	basic_fail_1	Should be used with the "fail" event.
	success_tagged_deploy_1	To be used in the event of a successful deployment job. see orb usage examples

Custom Message Template

1. Open the Slack Block Kit Builder: https://app.slack.com/block-kit-builder/
2. Design your desired notification message.
3. Replace any placeholder values with $ENV environment variable strings.
4. Set the resulting code as the value for your custom parameter.

- slack/notify:
    event: always
    custom: |
      {
        "blocks": [
          {
            "type": "section",
            "fields": [
              {
                "type": "plain_text",
                "text": "*This is a text notification*",
                "emoji": true
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }

Branch or Tag Filtering

Limit Slack notifications to particular branches with the "branch_pattern" or "tag_pattern" parameter.

A comma separated list of regex matchable branch or tag names. Notifications will only be sent if sent from a job from these branches/tags. By default ".+" will be used to match all branches/tags. Pattern must match the full string, no partial matches. Keep in mind that "branch_pattern" and "tag_pattern" are mutually exclusive.
