## Examples
|
|
|
|
### [Simple](https://github.com/diamondburned/arikawa/tree/v3/_example/simple)
|
|
|
|
Simple bot example without any state. All it does is logging messages sent into
|
|
the console. Run with `BOT_TOKEN="TOKEN" go run .`. This example only
|
|
demonstrates the most simple needs; in most cases, bots should use the state or
|
|
the bot router.
|
|
|
|
### [Undeleter](https://github.com/diamondburned/arikawa/tree/v3/_example/undeleter)
|
|
|
|
A slightly more complicated example. This bot uses a local state to cache
|
|
everything, including messages. It detects when someone deletes a message,
|
|
logging the content into the console.
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates the PreHandler feature of the state library.
|
|
PreHandler calls all handlers that are registered (separately from the session),
|
|
calling them before the state is updated.
|
|
|
|
### Bare Minimum Bot
|
|
|
|
The least amount of code for a basic ping-pong bot. It's similar to Serenity's
|
|
Discord bot example in the README.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"os"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/diamondburned/arikawa/v3/gateway"
|
|
"github.com/diamondburned/arikawa/v3/utils/bot"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
bot.Run(os.Getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN"), &Bot{},
|
|
func(ctx *bot.Context) error {
|
|
ctx.HasPrefix = bot.NewPrefix("!")
|
|
return nil
|
|
},
|
|
)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type Bot struct {
|
|
Ctx *bot.Context
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func (b *Bot) Ping(*gateway.MessageCreateEvent) (string, error) {
|
|
return "Pong!", nil
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Where is package `bot`?
|
|
|
|
Package bot has now been deprecated after Discord's decision to eventually
|
|
deprecate regular message events as means of commanding bots. We've decided to
|
|
move the old `bot` package into `utils/` to signify that it should no longer be
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
Moving `bot` into `utils/` will allow us to eventually rewrite the whole package
|
|
to use slash commands without worrying about breaking the old (v2) API, which is
|
|
great, because almost nothing translates well from the previous design to slash
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Comparison: Why not discordgo?
|
|
|
|
Discordgo is great. It's the first library that I used when I was learning Go.
|
|
Though there are some things that I disagree on. Here are some ways that this
|
|
library is different:
|
|
|
|
- Better package structure: this library divides the Discord library up into
|
|
smaller packages.
|
|
- Cleaner API/Gateway structure separation: this library separates fields that
|
|
would only appear in Gateway events, so to not cause confusion.
|
|
- Automatic un-pagination: this library automatically un-paginates endpoints
|
|
that would otherwise not return everything fully.
|
|
- Flexible underlying abstractions: this library allows plugging in different
|
|
JSON and Websocket implementations, as well as direct access to the HTTP
|
|
client.
|
|
- Flexible API abstractions: because packages are separated, the developer could
|
|
choose to use a lower level package (such as `gateway`) or a higher level
|
|
package (such as `state`).
|
|
- Pre-handlers in the state: this allows the developers to access items from the
|
|
state storage before they're removed.
|
|
- Pluggable state storages: although only having a default state storage in the
|
|
library, it is abstracted with an interface, making it possible to implement a
|
|
custom remote or local state storage.
|
|
- REST-updated state: this library will call the REST API if it can't find
|
|
things in the state, which is useful for keeping it updated.
|
|
- No code generation: just so the library is a lot easier to maintain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
The package includes integration tests that require `$BOT_TOKEN`. To run these
|
|
tests, do:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export BOT_TOKEN="<BOT_TOKEN>"
|
|
go test -tags integration -race ./...
|
|
```
