Viewing Slack データ in RAD Studio Data Explorer

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for Slack, you gain access to live Slack データ within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update Slack データ. This article will walk through connecting to Slack using the Data Explorer.

Configure a Connection to Slack

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

接続情報の取得

Slack はOAuth 認証標準を利用しています。OAuth を使って認証するには、Slack 側でアプリケーションを作成してOAuthClientId、OAuthClientSecret、およびCallbackURL 接続プロパティを取得してください。 認証方法については、ヘルプドキュメントの「Slack への接続」を参照してください。

Connecting to Slack データ Using Data Explorer

You can create a simple application for displaying Slack データ by utilizing the CData FireDAC Components for Slack and a new VCL Forms Application:

1. Open the Data Explorer in RAD Studio and expand FireDAC.
2. Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
3. Click Add New Connection.
4. Enter a name for the connection.
5. In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for Slack.
6. Back in the Data Explorer, expand the tables for the connection.

7. Create a new VCL Forms application and drag a table (for example: Channels) onto the form.

8. Select the ChannelsTable object on the form and set the Active property to true.

9. Right-click on the object, bind visually, and link everything (*) to a new control (TStringGrid).

10. Arrange the TStringGrid on the form and run the application to see the Channels data.
