So, I did start working on this Vega unfurl Slack app last week.
Should I finish it?
Usage Example
- Paste this Vega-Lite Bar Chart JSON spec example into online Vega Editor:
{ "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v4.json", "title": "Bar Chart", "description": "A simple bar chart with embedded data.", "data": { "values": [ {"a": "A", "b": 28}, {"a": "B", "b": 55}, {"a": "C", "b": 43}, {"a": "D", "b": 91}, {"a": "E", "b": 81}, {"a": "F", "b": 53}, {"a": "G", "b": 19}, {"a": "H", "b": 87}, {"a": "I", "b": 52} ] }, "mark": "bar", "encoding": { "x": {"field": "a", "type": "ordinal"}, "y": {"field": "b", "type": "quantitative"} } } Click Share in Vega Editor to copy encoded vega spec URL.
Paste vega spec URL into a Slack channel in a workspace with the installed vega-unfurl app.
You should see that shared link expended with a new attachment containing vega chart title, description and json schema information extracted from the shared encoded link.
