slacker

Set Slack statuses quicker than a cheetah on a caffeine rush

Purpose

This is a CLI utility to set/clear your status in slack. It comes with 3 default statuses and of course you can make your own.

Building

1. clone this respository
2. flox activate
3. go mod tidy
4. go build .

⚠️ Flox is an enviornment and package manager in one. It can bring dependencies and allow for reproducable development enviornments. Get it at https://flox.dev.

Alternatively, if you have a go environment already working, just clone and build.

Usage

$ slacker init
$ slacker help

Set a status

$ slacker dnd

Setting status: dnd
Slack status updated successfully!

Token

You'll need a personal slack token (set as SLACK_TOKEN). A token can be created using https://api.slack.com and creating an application. This is focused on "OAuth & Scopes." The other paramters for a slack application are unimportant.

If you want to create it from a manifest, it will be something like this.

{
    "display_information": {
        "name": "slacker applications for $user"
    },
    "oauth_config": {
        "scopes": {
            "user": [
                "users.profile:read",
                "users.profile:write",
                "users:read"
            ]
        }
    },
    "settings": {
        "org_deploy_enabled": false,
        "socket_mode_enabled": false,
        "token_rotation_enabled": false
    }
}

Configuration

Configuration/statuses are set in $HOME/.config/slacker/config.toml after running slacker init.
