Add a gif to a chat message based on text in the message
Chat is more social with gifs. This block lets users send each others gifs in a chat message based on the text it reads in the message with the Giphy API, just like Slack.
Walkthrough
This block adds a gif url to a message based on the text. It uses 3rd party Giphy API to get gif url matching input text. Keywords are extracted from text based on usage of /gif tag in message text. The /gif tag is removed from text before publishing.
To learn more about Giphy API and getting your production keys, visit https://api.giphy.com.
Input
Input Channel: pubnub-gif-chat (configurable) A JSON object containing key "text", with the message needs to be published on input channel. If message contains /gif tag, then the next word will be used for finding a matching gif image. Multiple tags can exist in same message. For including gif urls based on phrases or sentences, enclose them using ( ) .
{
"text" : "/gif hello"
}Output
Output channel: pubnub-gif-chat (configurable) The modified message containing the list of gif urls is received on same channel.
{
"text": "hello",
"gifs": ["http://media1.giphy.com/media/xTiTngMMCIt7FramOc/200.gif"]
