SwiftBlocksUI is a way to write interactive Slack messages and modal dialogs (also known as Slack "applications") using a SwiftUI like declarative style.
Explained in blog article/tutorial: Instant “SwiftUI” Flavoured Slack Apps.
This repository is a development testbed, containing all the other example apps.
This requires a Slack bot authentication token, which can be found on the Admin Panel, "OAuth & Permissions" section in the sidebar, "Bot User OAuth Access Token".

swift buildOr open the Package.swift in Xcode and build it there.
SLACK_ACCESS_TOKEN(the token required to send requests to Slack)SLACK_VERIFICATION_TOKEN(shared secret with Slack to verify requests)PORT(the port the app is going to start on, defaults to 1337)
On Linux this currently requires a Swift 5.3 environment (swiftc crash, might be SR-12543).
On macOS it should work with Swift 5.2 (aka Xcode 11) and up, though 5.3 has some additional conveniences.
SwiftBlocksUI is brought to you by the Always Right Institute and ZeeZide. We like feedback, GitHub stars, cool contract work, presumably any form of praise you can think of.
