How this works
Phelia transforms React components into Slack messages by use of a custom React reconciler. Components (with their internal state and props) are serialized into a custom storage. When a user interacts with a posted message Phelia retrieves the component, re-hydrates it's state and props, and performs any actions which may result in a new state.
Components
Each component is a mapping of a specific object type for a slack block. There are 3 categories of components, each with special rules for how that component can be used with other components.
- Surface Components (Message, Home, Modal) - Root components that contains Block Components
- Block Components (Actions, Context, Divider, Image, Input, Section) - Direct descendants of a Surface Component. Contains Block Components
- Block Element Components (Text, CheckBoxes, TextField, etc) - Direct descendants of a Block Components.
