Question 1

How to build a Slack bot with Slack Morphism and Axum?

Accepted Answer

Integrate Slack Morphism with Axum by setting up routes for Slack events, such as push events or interactions. The examples include an 'axum_events_api_server' that shows OAuth handling and event parsing with Axum's routing system.

Question 2

Slack Morphism vs slack-rs: which should I use for Rust Slack apps?

Accepted Answer

Slack Morphism is more comprehensive, supporting Socket Mode and Block Kit builders, while slack-rs is lighter but less feature-rich. Choose Slack Morphism for full API coverage and async patterns, but slack-rs if you need minimal dependencies.

Question 3

How to handle Slack interactions like button clicks with Slack Morphism?

Accepted Answer

Set up an interaction endpoint in your server, verify the signing secret from Slack, and use the library's types to parse and respond to interaction payloads, as shown in the events API examples.

Question 4

Does Slack Morphism work without public webhooks for real-time events?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports Socket Mode, allowing real-time event reception without public webhooks, which is ideal for local development or environments behind firewalls, as mentioned in the Socket Mode examples.

Question 5

How to test Slack Events API locally using ngrok with Slack Morphism?

Accepted Answer

Run ngrok to expose your local server, set the SLACK_REDIRECT_HOST to the ngrok URL, and configure environment variables like SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET. The README provides a step-by-step example for this testing setup.

Question 6

Is there a quickstart guide for Slack Morphism OAuth flows?

Accepted Answer

Refer to the examples directory, particularly the 'events_api_server' example, which demonstrates OAuth installation routes and callback handling with environment variable configuration for client ID and secret.
