DiscordCoreAPI

A Discord library for creating bots, written in C++, using WinRT and a few other useful libraries.

Documentation / Examples

Features

Concurrent Discord API Access

• As a result of using the asynchronous agents library, this library has the ability to make fully asynchronous requests to the Discord API.

Slash Commands and Buttons

A Unified "Input-Event" System

• Both user messages and user interactions are accepted via the onInputEventCreation event.
• They can all be responded to using the InputEventHandler::respondToEvent() function.

if (rolesMsgEmbeds.size() == 0 && itemsMessageEmbeds.size() == 0) {
	string msgString = "Sorry, but we are all out of inventory!";
	EmbedData messageEmbed;
	messageEmbed.setAuthor(args->eventData.getUserName(), args->eventData.getAvatarURL());
	messageEmbed.setColor(discordGuild.data.borderColor);
	messageEmbed.setDescription(msgString);
	messageEmbed.setTimeStamp(getTimeAndDate());
	messageEmbed.setTitle("__**Empty Inventory:**__");
	if (args->eventData.eventType == InputEventType::REGULAR_MESSAGE) {
		ReplyMessageData responseData(args->eventData);
		responseData.embeds.push_back(messageEmbed);
		InputEventData event01 = InputEventManager::respondToEvent(responseData).get();
		InputEventManager::deleteInputEventResponse(event01, 20000).get();
	}
	else if (args->eventData.eventType == InputEventType::SLASH_COMMAND_INTERACTION) {
		CreateInteractionResponseData responseData(args->eventData);
		responseData.data.embeds.push_back(messageEmbed);
		InputEventData event01 = InputEventManager::respondToEvent(responseData).get();
		InputEventManager::deleteInputEventResponse(event01, 20000).get();
	}
	co_await mainThread;
	co_return;
}

Roadmap

I am currently working on getting this thing to be "useful", and here are some of the things I plan on implementing:

• Finish adding the base Discord-API data structures, along with classes to utilize/access/change their values.

• Add a "music-listening" layer with a usable "voice channel" that includes audio encoding/decoding.

• Build a few bots with the library and document examples.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know, and I will consider taking you up on it. Thanks!
