Example

Using webhook

Generate a webhook here.

    slogslack "github.com/samber/slog-slack/v2"
    "log/slog"
)

func main() {
    webhook := "https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxx/yyy/zzz"
    channel := "alerts"

    logger := slog.New(slogslack.Option{Level: slog.LevelError, WebhookURL: webhook, Channel: channel}.NewSlackHandler())
    logger = logger.
        With("environment", "dev").
        With("release", "v1.0.0")

    // log error
    logger.
        With("category", "sql").
        With("query.statement", "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users;").
        With("query.duration", 1*time.Second).
        With("error", fmt.Errorf("could not count users")).
        Error("caramba!")

    // log user signup
    logger.
        With(
            slog.Group("user",
                slog.String("id", "user-123"),
                slog.Time("created_at", time.Now()),
            ),
        ).
        Info("user registration")

    // push record to a thread
    logger.ErrorContext(
        slogslack.WithThreadTimestamp(context.Background(), "1714929099.4238"),
        "An error",
    )
}

Using bot token

Use Bot token.

import (
	slogslack "github.com/samber/slog-slack/v2"
	"log/slog"
)

func main() {
    token := "xoxb-"
    channel := "alerts"

    logger := slog.New(slogslack.Option{Level: slog.LevelError, BotToken: token, Channel: channel}.NewSlackHandler())
    logger = logger.
        With("environment", "dev").
        With("release", "v1.0.0")
