Send a screenshot (by using puppeteer) to Slack

test.ts

import request from "request";
import puppeteer from "puppeteer";

const API_URL = "https://slack.com/api/files.upload";
const SLACK_API_TOKEN = process.env.SLACK_API_TOKEN as string;
const CHANNEL = "general";

(async () => {
  const url = "http://neverssl.com"
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto(url);
  const b64string: string = await page.screenshot({ encoding: "base64" }) as string;
  const buffer: Buffer = Buffer.from(b64string, "base64");
  await browser.close();

  const data = {
    url: API_URL,
    formData: {
      channels: CHANNEL,
      file: {
        value: buffer,
        options: {
          filename: "test.png",
        }
      },
      filename: "test.png",
      filetype: "image/png",
      token: SLACK_API_TOKEN,
    }
  };
  request.post(data, function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
      console.log(body);
    } else {
      console.log(error);
    }
  });
})();

this is great! just thought about this 👏
