I am trying to post test result on slack. Post message is going but it is posting as whole json string.
Here is my code:
testITArray = ["Test 1", "Test 2", "Test 3r"];
testITStatusArray = [":white_check_mark:", ":x:", ":x:"];
var edited = "{";
for (var i = 0; i < testITArray.length; i++) {
edited +=
'"type": "context","elements": [{"type": "mrkdwn","text": "' +
testITArray[i] +
'"},{"type": "mrkdwn","text": " ' +
testITStatusArray[i] +
' "}],';
}
edited = edited.slice(0, -1);
edited += "}";
var asJSON = JSON.stringify(edited);
axios.post("https://hooks.slack.com/XXXX",
{
text: `${asJSON}`,
}
);
Tried this option also
// axios.post("https://hooks.slack.com/XXXX",asJSON,{
//headers: {
// 'Content-Type': 'application/json'
//}
}
);
Here is the output i am getting
Where I am doing mistake?
there are few things wrong with this code
1 you are composing a json string so you don't need to use JSON.stringify
2 you json string contains the same keys over and over so they will be overwritten by the last one
3 it's not clear what the shape of the array should be
4 it's not a best practice to compone a json string in js because it easily can lead to an error
I tried to guess the shape of the json that you need
Please let me know if it is what you were looking for
const yourResult = '{"type": "context","elements": [{"type": "mrkdwn","text": "Test 1"},{"type": "mrkdwn","text": " :white_check_mark: "}],"type": "context","elements": [{"type": "mrkdwn","text": "Test 2"},{"type": "mrkdwn","text": " :x: "}],"type": "context","elements": [{"type": "mrkdwn","text": "Test 3r"},{"type": "mrkdwn","text": " :x: "}]}'
console.log('your string', yourResult)
console.log('parsed result', JSON.parse(yourResult))
const testITArray = ["Test 1", "Test 2", "Test 3r"];
const testITStatusArray = [":white_check_mark:", ":x:", ":x:"];
const resultArray = testITArray.map((t, i) => {
return {
type: "context",
elements: [t, testITStatusArray[i]].map(text => ({
type: 'mrkdwn',
text
}))
}
})
const resultSingleObject = testITArray.flatMap((t, i) => [t, testITStatusArray[i]])
.reduce((res, text) => ({
...res,
elements: [...res.elements, {
type: 'mrkdwn',
text
}]
}), {
type: 'context',
elements: []
})
console.log('array', resultArray)
console.log('array json', JSON.stringify(resultArray))
console.log('object', resultSingleObject)
console.log('object json', JSON.stringify(resultSingleObject))Thanks to @R4ncid, here is my solution. I have added JSON array within block string.
const json = "{ blocks: " + `${JSON.stringify(resultArray)}` + " }";
const res = axios.post(
"https://hooks.slack.com/XXX",
`${json}`
);
