Layout Blocks

Blocks are a series of components that can be combined to create visually rich and compellingly interactive messages.

Read our guide to building block layouts 🔗 to learn where and how to use each of these components.

You can include up to 50 blocks in each message, and 100 blocks in modals or home tabs.

Variants

Section(Section<'a>)

Section Block

Divider

Divider Block

slack api docs 🔗

A content divider, like an <hr>, to split up different blocks inside of a message.

The divider block is nice and neat, requiring no fields.

Image(Image)

Image Block

Actions(Actions<'a>)

Actions Block

Context(Context<'a>)

Context Block

Input(Input<'a>)

Input Block

File(File)

File Block

Implementations

impl<'a> Block<'a>

pub fn validate(&self) -> Result<(), ValidationErrors>

Validate that this block agrees with Slack’s model requirements.

use slack_blocks::{blocks, blocks::Image};

let long_string = std::iter::repeat('a').take(2001).collect::<String>();

let img = Image::from_alt_text_and_url(long_string, "foo.com");

assert!(matches!(img.validate(), Err(_)), "validation should fail!")
