save_note 0.1.1

A lightweight tool for quickly send screenshots notes to Slack and other platforms.

Save Note

Getting Started

Features

• In the screenshot editor, you can add notes, draw on the screenshot, and send it to Slack and to other services (see CustomNoteSender example).
• Activate a quick action button that allows you to save the screenshot of the current screen and send it to a Slack channel with a note.

NoteQuickActionButton.show(context);

• Long press the quick action button to dismiss it.
• Tap the quick action button to take a screenshot and open the screenshot editor.
• Drag the quick action button to move it around the screen.

Configuration

@override
  initState() {
    super.initState();

    // IMPORTANT: Add the NoteSender to the controller
    // This is a one-time setup for the app, and they will be available on Screenshot Editor.

    // As an example, we are adding a SlackNoteSender and a [CustomNoteSender] that I created for this example.
    AppNoteController().addNoteSenders([
      SlackNoteSender(
        token: const String.fromEnvironment('SLACK_API_TOKEN'), // Slack API token (xoxb-...) - You can get it from https://api.slack.com/apps
        channelId: const String.fromEnvironment('SLACK_CHANNEL_ID_QA'), // Slack channel ID (public or private)
        channelName: 'QA Team Notes', // Slack channel name, it can be anything, it's just for display purposes
        // Optional
        onSuccess: () {
          debugPrint('✨ Note sent to Slack!');
        },
        // Optional
        onError: (error) {
          debugPrint('🚫 Error sending note to Slack: $error');
        },
      ),
      CustomNoteSender(), // CustomNoteSender is a custom implementation of NoteSender that I created for this example (see example project)
    ]);
  }

Configure a VSCode Launcher with --dart-define

Note: You can also use the .env file to store the environment variables in development mode, remote config, or any other aproach that you prefer. For this example, I'm using the launch.json file and dart-define.

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Flutter",
      "request": "launch",
      "type": "dart",
      "program": "lib/main.dart",
      "args": [
        "--dart-define=SLACK_API_TOKEN=xoxb-...",
        "--dart-define=SLACK_CHANNEL_QA_TEAM=..."
        "--dart-define=SLACK_CHANNEL_DEV_TEAM=..."
        "--dart-define=SLACK_CHANNEL_STAKEHOLDERS=..."
      ]
    }
  ]
}
