This is a Slack app that can be used to track results of 1v1 games, such as ping pong. It has been built using Deno and the Slack CLI. Follow the steps under Setup to deploy the app to your workspace.
- Report a win/loss played against another user
- Show a channel's leaderboard, including every user's wins, losses and rating.
Each win/loss will update a player's rating using the Elo rating system.
Before getting started, make sure you have a development workspace where you have permissions to install apps. If you don’t have one set up, go ahead and create one. Also, please note that the workspace requires any of the Slack paid plans.
To use this app in your workspace, you first need to install and configure the Slack CLI. Step-by-step instructions can be found in the Quickstart Guide.
Triggers are what cause workflows to run. This app uses link triggers.
To create the link triggers for the workflows in this app, run the following commands:
$ slack trigger create --trigger-def triggers/report_trigger.ts
$ slack trigger create --trigger-def triggers/leaderboard_trigger.tsAfter selecting a workspace and environment, the output provided will include the link trigger Shortcut URL. Copy and paste this URL into a channel as a message, or add it as a bookmark in a channel of the workspace you selected.
Note: this link won't run the workflow until the app is either running locally or deployed!
You can deploy the production version of the app to Slack hosting using
slack deploy:
$ slack deployThe app manifest contains the app's configuration. This file defines attributes like app name and description.
Used by the CLI to interact with the project's SDK dependencies. It contains script hooks that are executed by the CLI and implemented by the SDK.
Functions are reusable building blocks of automation that accept inputs, perform calculations, and provide outputs. Functions can be used independently or as steps in workflows.
A workflow is a set of steps that are executed in order. Each step in a workflow is a function.
Workflows can be configured to run without user input or they can collect input by beginning with a form before continuing to the next step.
Triggers determine when workflows are executed. A trigger file describes a scenario in which a workflow should be run, such as a user pressing a button or when a specific event occurs.
Datastores can securely store and
retrieve data for your application. Required scopes to use datastores include
datastore:write and datastore:read.
