Module slack_bolt.kwargs_injection.args

Classes

class Args (*, logger: logging.Logger, client: slack_sdk.web.client.WebClient, req: BoltRequest, resp: BoltResponse, context: BoltContext, body: Dict[str, Any], payload: Dict[str, Any], options: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, shortcut: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, action: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, view: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, command: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, event: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, message: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None, ack: Ack, say: Say, respond: Respond, next: Callable[[], None], **kwargs)

All the arguments in this class are available in any middleware / listeners. You can inject the named variables in the argument list in arbitrary order.

@app.action("link_button")
def handle_buttons(ack, respond, logger, context, body, client):
    logger.info(f"request body: {body}")
    ack()
    if context.channel_id is not None:
        respond("Hi!")
    client.views_open(
        trigger_id=body["trigger_id"],
        view={ ... }
    )

Alternatively, you can include a parameter named args and it will be injected with an instance of this class.

@app.action("link_button")
def handle_buttons(args):
    args.logger.info(f"request body: {args.body}")
    args.ack()
    if args.context.channel_id is not None:
        args.respond("Hi!")
    args.client.views_open(
        trigger_id=args.body["trigger_id"],
        view={ ... }
    )
