React Slack Feedback

View live demo

Customizable React component for gathering user feedback to send to slack.

Usage

Install with yarn or npm:

yarn add react-slack-feedback styled-components

To use the component, import it and render in your app's global component, or individual components (if you don't want it on every page).

NOTE: Your Slack Webhook URL should never be available on the front end. For this reason you must have a server which sends the request to slack. This component will produce the JSON object to send to Slack but it won't send the request for you.

import SlackFeedback, { themes } from 'react-slack-feedback'

ReactDOM.render(
  <SlackFeedback
    channel="#general"
    theme={themes.dark} // (optional) See src/themes/default for default theme
    user="Slack Feedback" // The logged in user (default = "Unknown User")
    onImageUpload={(image, success,error) => 
      uploadImage(image)
        .then(({ url }) => success(url))
        .catch(error)
    }
    onSubmit={(payload, success, error) => 
      sendToServer(payload)
        .then(success)
        .catch(error)
     }
  />,
  document.getElementById('root')
)

function sendToServer(payload, success, error) {
  return fetch('/api/slack', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify(payload)
  })
  .then(success)
  .catch(error)
}

function uploadImage(image, success, error) {
  var form = new FormData()
  form.append('image', image)

  return fetch('/api/upload', { method: 'POST', data: form })
    .then(({ url }) => success(url))
    .catch(err => error(err))
  )
}

Props

NOTE: All slack channels are lowercase. The string should be identical to the channel name e.g '#feedback'
