slack-progress-bar

A Python library for adding a progress bar to a Slack Bot, updated for Python 3.9+.

Installation

pip install slack-progress-bar

Tutorial

1. Setup your bot using the Slack API and grab the associated Bot User OAuth Token (Settings -> Install App).
2. Get the user_id for the person you want to receive updates. This can be found by going to a Slack profile and clicking Copy member ID.

import time
from slack_progress_bar import SlackProgressBar

progress_bar = SlackProgressBar(token=BOT_TOKEN, user_id=SLACK_MEMBER_ID, total=150)
for i in range(151):
   time.sleep(0.1)
   progress_bar.update(i)

Instantiating a SlackProgressBar will send a message featuring an empty progress bar. from the bot account to your Slack user. The message will be sent from your Bot account to your Slack user in a private message. Calling update() will update that progress bar on Slack. To create a new progress bar on Slack, instantiate a new instance of SlackProgressBar.
