## Notable Features
* Everything with async/await. Full integration with the latest Server-Side Swift packages.
* Access the full Discord API for bots, except Voice (for now).
* Connect to the Discord Gateway and receive all events easily.
* Send requests to the Discord API using library's Discord client.
* Hard-typed APIs. All Gateway events and API responses have their own type and can be decoded easily.
* Abstractions for easier testability.
## Showcase
Vapor community's [Penny bot](https://github.com/vapor/penny-bot) serves as a good example of [utilizing this library](https://github.com/vapor/penny-bot/blob/main/Sources/Penny/Services/DiscordService/DiscordService.swift#L1).
## How To Use
### Initializing a Gateway Manager
First you need to initialize a `BotGatewayManager` instance, then tell it to connect and start using it.
```swift
import DiscordBM
let bot = await BotGatewayManager(
token: <#Your Bot Token#>,
presence: .init( /// Set up bot's initial presence
/// Will show up as "Playing Fortnite"
activities: [.init(name: "Fortnite", type: .game)],
status: .online,
afk: false
),
/// Add all the intents you want
/// You can also use `Gateway.Intent.unprivileged` or `Gateway.Intent.allCases`
intents: [.guildMessages, .messageContent]
)
```
See the [GatewayConnection tests](https://github.com/DiscordBM/DiscordBM/blob/main/Tests/IntegrationTests/GatwayConnection.swift) or [Vapor community's Penny bot](https://github.com/vapor/penny-bot/blob/main/CODE/Sources/PennyBOT/Bot.swift) for real-world examples.
> **Warning**
> In a production app you should use **environment variables** to load your Bot Token.
> Avoid hard-coding your Bot Token to reduce the chances of leaking it.
### Initializing a Gateway Manager With Vapor
Click to expand
With Vapor, use Vapor `Application`'s `EventLoopGroup` and `HTTPClient`:
```swift
import DiscordBM
import Vapor
let app: Application = <#Your Vapor Application#>
let bot = await BotGatewayManager(
eventLoopGroup: app.eventLoopGroup, /// Use Vapor's `EventLoopGroup`
httpClient: app.http.client.shared, /// Use Vapor's `HTTPClient`
token: <#Your Bot Token#>,
presence: .init( /// Set up bot's initial presence
/// Will show up as "Playing Fortnite"
activities: [.init(name: "Fortnite", type: .game)],
status: .online,
afk: false
),
/// Add all the intents you want
/// You can also use `Gateway.Intent.unprivileged` or `Gateway.Intent.allCases`
intents: [.guildMessages, .messageContent]
)
```
### Using The Gateway Manager
> **Note**
> For your app's entry point, you should use a type with the [`@main` attribute](https://www.hackingwithswift.com/swift/5.3/atmain) like below.
```swift
@main
struct EntryPoint {
static func main() async throws {
/// Make an instance like above
let bot: BotGatewayManager = <#GatewayManager You Made In Previous Steps#>
/// Tell the manager to connect to Discord. Use a `Task { }` because it
/// might take a few seconds, or even minutes under bad network connections
/// Don't use `Task { }` if you care and want to wait
Task { await bot.connect() }
/// Handle each event in the `bot.events` async stream
/// This stream will never end, therefore preventing your executable from exiting
for await event in await bot.events {
EventHandler(event: event, client: bot.client).handle()
}
}
}
/// To keep things cleaner, use a type conforming to
/// `GatewayEventHandler` to handle your Gateway events.
struct EventHandler: GatewayEventHandler {
let event: Gateway.Event
let client: any DiscordClient
/// Each Gateway payload has its own function.
/// See `GatewayEventHandler` for the full list.
/// This function will only be called upon receiving `MESSAGE_CREATE` events.
func onMessageCreate(_ payload: Gateway.MessageCreate) async throws {
print("NEW MESSAGE!", payload)
/// Use `client` to send requests to Discord
let response = try await client.createMessage(
channelId: payload.channel_id,
payload: .init(content: "Got a message: '\(payload.content)'")
)
/// Easily decode the response to the correct type
/// `message` will be of type `DiscordChannel.Message`.
let message = try response.decode()
}
}
```
> **Note**
> On a successful connection, you will **always** see a `NOTICE` log indicating `connection is established`.
> **Note**
> By default, `DiscordBM` automatically handles HTTP rate-limits and you don't need to worry about them.
### Mindset
The way you can make sense of the library is to think of it as a direct implementation of the Discord API.
In most cases, the library doesn't try to abstract away Discord's stuff.
* If something is related to the Gateway, you should find it near `GatewayManager`.
* If there is a HTTP request you want to make, you'll need to use `DiscordClient`.
* You should read Discord documentation's related notes when you want to use something of this library.
Everything in the library has its related Discord documentation section linked near it.
### Finding Your Bot Token

In [Discord developer portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications):
### Application (including Slash) Commands
Click to expand
`DiscordBM` comes with full support for all kinds of "interactions" such as slash commands, modals, autocomplete etc... and gives you full control over how you want to use them using type-safe APIs.
> You can see Penny as an example of using all kinds of commands in production.
Penny registers the commands [here](https://github.com/vapor/penny-bot/blob/main/Sources/Penny/CommandsManager.swift) and responds to them [here](https://github.com/vapor/penny-bot/blob/main/Sources/Penny/Handlers/InteractionHandler.swift).
In this example you'll only make 2 simple slash commands, so you can get started:
In your `EntryPoint.main()`:
```swift
/// Make a list of `Payloads.ApplicationCommandCreate`s that you want to register
/// `DiscordCommand` is an enum that has the full info of your commands. See below
let commands = DiscordCommand.allCases.map { command in
return Payloads.ApplicationCommandCreate(
name: command.rawValue,
description: command.description,
options: command.options
)
}
/// You only need to do this once on startup. This updates all your commands to the new ones.
try await bot.client
.bulkSetApplicationCommands(payload: commands)
.guardSuccess() /// Throw an error if not successful
/// Use the events-stream later since the for-loop blocks the function
for await event in await bot.events {
EventHandler(event: event, client: bot.client).handle()
}
```
In your `EventHandler`:
```swift
/// Use `onInteractionCreate(_:)` for handling interactions.
struct EventHandler: GatewayEventHandler {
let event: Gateway.Event
let client: any DiscordClient
let logger = Logger(label: "EventHandler")
/// Handle Interactions.
func onInteractionCreate(_ interaction: Interaction) async throws {
/// You only have 3 second to respond, so it's better to send
/// the response right away, and edit the response later.
/// This will show a loading indicator to users.
try await client.createInteractionResponse(
id: interaction.id,
token: interaction.token,
payload: .deferredChannelMessageWithSource()
).guardSuccess()
/// Delete this if you want. Just here so you notice the loading indicator :)
try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(1))
/// Handle the interaction data
switch interaction.data {
case let .applicationCommand(applicationCommand):
switch DiscordCommand(rawValue: applicationCommand.name) {
case .echo:
if let echo = applicationCommand.option(named: "text")?.value?.asString {
/// Edits the interaction response.
/// This response is intentionally too fancy just so you see what's possible :)
try await client.updateOriginalInteractionResponse(
token: interaction.token,
payload: Payloads.EditWebhookMessage(
content: "Hello, You wanted me to echo something!",
embeds: [Embed(
title: "This is an embed",
description: """
You sent this, so I'll echo it to you!
> \(DiscordUtils.escapingSpecialCharacters(echo))
""",
timestamp: Date(),
color: .init(value: .random(in: 0 ..< (1 << 24) )),
footer: .init(text: "Footer!"),
author: .init(name: "Authored by DiscordBM!"),
fields: [
.init(name: "field name!", value: "field value!")
]
)],
components: [[.button(.init(
label: "Open DiscordBM!",
url: "https://github.com/DiscordBM/DiscordBM"
))]]
)
).guardSuccess()
} else {
try await client.updateOriginalInteractionResponse(
token: interaction.token,
payload: Payloads.EditWebhookMessage(
content: "Hello, You wanted me to echo something!",
embeds: [Embed(
title: "This is an embed",
description: """
You sent this, so I'll echo it to you but there was nothing!
""",
timestamp: Date().addingTimeInterval(90),
color: .green,
footer: .init(text: "Footer!"),
author: .init(name: "Authored by DiscordBM!"),
fields: [
.init(name: "field name!", value: "field value!")
]
)]
)
).guardSuccess()
}
case .link:
/// `DiscordBM` has some "require" functions for easier unwrapping of
/// application commands. These "require" functions will either give you
/// what you want, or throw an error.
/// See the full list below.
let subcommandOption = try (applicationCommand.options?.first).requireValue()
let subcommandName = subcommandOption.name
let subcommand = try LinkSubCommand(rawValue: subcommandName).requireValue()
let id = try (subcommandOption.options?.first).requireValue().requireString()
let name = subcommand.rawValue.capitalized
try await client.updateOriginalInteractionResponse(
token: interaction.token,
payload: Payloads.EditWebhookMessage(
content: "Hi, did you wanted me to link your accounts?",
embeds: [.init(
description: "Will link a \(name) account with id '\(id)'",
color: .yellow
)]
)
).guardSuccess()
case .none: break
}
default: break
}
}
}
```
In a new file like `DiscordCommand.swift`, to keep things organized:
```swift
// MARK: - Define a nice clean enum for your commands
enum DiscordCommand: String, CaseIterable {
case echo
case link
/// The description of the command that Discord users will see.
var description: String? {
switch self {
case .echo:
return "Echos what you say"
case .link:
return "Links your accounts "
}
}
/// The options of the command that Discord users will have.
var options: [ApplicationCommand.Option]? {
switch self {
case .echo:
return [ApplicationCommand.Option(
type: .string,
name: "text",
description: "What to echo :)"
)]
case .link:
return LinkSubCommand.allCases.map { subCommand in
return ApplicationCommand.Option(
type: .subCommand,
name: subCommand.rawValue,
description: subCommand.description,
options: subCommand.options
)
}
}
}
}
// MARK: - You can use enums for subcommands too
enum LinkSubCommand: String, CaseIterable {
case discord
case github
/// The description of the subcommand that Discord users will see.
var description: String {
switch self {
case .discord:
return "Link your Discord account"
case .github:
return "Link your Github account"
}
}
/// The options of the subcommand that Discord users will have.
var options: [ApplicationCommand.Option] {
switch self {
case .discord: return [ApplicationCommand.Option(
type: .string,
name: "id",
description: "Your Discord account ID",
required: true
)]
case .github: return [ApplicationCommand.Option(
type: .string,
name: "id",
description: "Your Github account ID",
required: true
)]
}
}
}
```
#### Interaction Parsing Helpers
* `StringIntDoubleBool` has:
* `requireString() throws -> String`
* `requireInt() throws -> Int`
* `requireDouble() throws -> Double`
* `requireBool() throws -> Bool`
* `Interaction.ApplicationCommand.Option` has all the `StringIntDoubleBool` functions for unwrapping an option's `value` .
* `Interaction.ApplicationCommand.Option` and related types (like `[Option]`) have:
* `option(named: String) -> Option?`
* `requireOption(named: String) throws -> Option`
* `[Interaction.ActionRow]` and `[Interaction.ActionRow.Component]` have:
* `component(customId: String) -> Interaction.ActionRow.Component?`
* `requireComponent(customId: String) throws -> Interaction.ActionRow.Component`
* `Interaction.ActionRow.Component` has:
* `requireButton() throws -> Button`
* `requireStringSelect() throws -> StringSelectMenu`
* `requireTextInput() throws -> TextInput`
* `requireUserSelect() throws -> SelectMenu`
* `requireRoleSelect() throws -> SelectMenu`
* `requireMentionableSelect() throws -> SelectMenu`
* `requireChannelSelect() throws -> ChannelSelectMenu`
* `Interaction.Data` has:
* `requireApplicationCommand() throws -> ApplicationCommand`
* `requireMessageComponent() throws -> MessageComponent`
* `requireModalSubmit() throws -> ModalSubmit`
* Swift's `Optional` has a `requireValue() throws` function overload (only in `DiscordBM`).
### Sending Attachments
Click to expand
`DiscordBM` has support for sending files as attachments.
> **Note**
> It's usually better to send a link of your media to Discord, instead of sending the actual file.
```swift
/// Raw data of anything like an image
let image: ByteBuffer = <#Your Image Buffer#>
/// Example 1
try await bot.client.createMessage(
channelId: <#Channel ID#>,
payload: .init(
content: "A message with an attachment!",
files: [.init(data: image, filename: "pic.png")],
attachments: [.init(index: 0, description: "Picture of something secret :)")]
/// ~~~~~~~^
/// `0` is the index of the attachment in the `files` array.
)
)
/// Example 2
try await bot.client.createMessage(
channelId: <#Channel ID#>,
payload: .init(
embeds: [.init(
title: "An embed with an attachment!",
image: .init(url: .attachment(name: "penguin.png"))
/// ~~~~~~~^
/// `penguin.png` is the name of the attachment in the `files` array.
)],
files: [.init(data: image, filename: "penguin.png")]
)
)
```
Take a look at `testMultipartPayload()` in [/Tests/DiscordClientTests](https://github.com/DiscordBM/DiscordBM/blob/main/Tests/IntegrationTests/DiscordClient.swift) to see how you can send media in a real-world situation.
### Discord Utils
Click to expand
`DiscordBM` contains some utility functions for working with Discord's text-message format.
The mention helpers:
```swift
let userMention = DiscordUtils.mention(id: <#User ID of type UserSnowflake#>)
let channelMention = DiscordUtils.mention(id: <#Channel ID of type ChannelSnowflake#>)
let roleMention = DiscordUtils.mention(id: <#Role ID of type RoleSnowflake#>)
let slashCommandMention = DiscordUtils.slashCommand(name: "help", id: <#Command ID#>)
/// Then:
/// Will look like `Hi @UserName!` in Discord
let userMessage = "Hi \(userMention)!"
/// Will look like `Welcome to #ChannelName!` in Discord
let channelMessage = "Welcome to \(channelMention)!"
/// Will look like `Hello @RoleName!` in Discord
let roleMessage = "Hello \(roleMention)!"
/// Will look like `Use this command: /help` in Discord
let slashCommandMeessage = "Use this command: \(slashCommandMention)"
```
And the emoji helpers:
```swift
let emoji = DiscordUtils.customEmoji(name: "Peepo_Happy", id: <#Emoji ID#>)
let animatedEmoji = DiscordUtils.customAnimatedEmoji(name: "Peepo_Money", id: <#Emoji ID#>)
/// Then:
/// Will look like `Are you happy now? EMOJI` where emoji is like https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/832181382595870730.webp
let emojiMessage = "Are you happy now? \(emoji)"
/// Will look like `Here comes the moneeeey EMOJI` where emoji is like https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/836533376285671424.gif
let animatedEmojiMessage = "Here comes the moneeeey \(emojiMessage)"
```
Plus the **end-user-localized** timestamp helpers:
```swift
let timestamp = DiscordUtils.timestamp(date: Date())
let anotherTimestamp = DiscordUtils.timestamp(unixTimestamp: 1 << 31, style: .relativeTime)
/// Then:
/// Will look like `Time when message was sent: 20 April 2021 16:20` in Discord
let timestampMessage = "Time when message was sent: \(timestamp)"
/// Will look like `I'm a time traveler. I will be born: in 15 years` in Discord
let anotherTimestampMessage = "I'm a time traveler. I will be born: \(anotherTimestamp)"
```
And a function to escape special characters from user input.
For example if you type `**BOLD TEXT**` in Discord, it'll look like **BOLD TEXT**, but using this function, it'll instead look like the original `**BOLD TEXT**` input.
```swift
let escaped = DiscordUtils.escapingSpecialCharacters("**BOLD TEXT**")
/// Will look like `Does this look bold to you?! **BOLD TEXT**` in Discord. Won't actually look bold.
let escapedMessage = "Does this look bold to you?! \(escaped)"
```
### Discord Cache
Click to expand
`DiscordBM` has the ability to cache Gateway events in-memory, and keep the data in sync with Discord:
```swift
let cache = await DiscordCache(
/// The `GatewayManager`/`bot` to cache the events from.
gatewayManager: <#GatewayManager You Made In Previous Steps#>,
/// What intents to cache their related Gateway events.
/// This does not affect what events you receive from Discord.
/// The intents you enter here must have been enabled in your `GatewayManager`.
/// With `.all`, `DiscordCache` will cache all events.
intents: [.guilds, .guildMembers],
/// In big guilds/servers, Discord only sends your own member/presence info.
/// You need to request the rest of the members, and `DiscordCache` can do that for you.
/// Must have `guildMembers` and `guildPresences` intents enabled depending on what you want.
requestAllMembers: .enabled,
/// What messages to cache.
messageCachingPolicy: .saveEditHistoryAndDeleted
)
/// Access the cached stuff:
if let aGuild = await cache.guilds[<#Guild ID#>] {
print("Guild name is:", aGuild.name)
} else {
print("Guild not found")
}
```
### Checking Permissions & Roles
Click to expand
`DiscordBM` has some best-effort functions for checking permissions and roles.
FYI, in interactions, the [member field](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#guild-member-object-guild-member-structure) already contains the resolved permissions (`Interaction.member.permissions`).
> **Warning**
> You need a `DiscordCache` with intents containing `.guilds` & `.guildMembers` and also `requestAllMembers: .enabled`.
```swift
let cache: DiscordCache = <#DiscordCache You Made In Previous Steps#>
/// Get the guild.
guard let guild = await cache.guilds[<#Guild ID#>] else { return }
/// Check if the user has `.viewChannel` & `.readMessageHistory` permissions in a channel.
let hasPermission = guild.userHasPermissions(
userId: <#User ID#>,
channelId: <#Channel ID#>,
permissions: [.viewChannel, .readMessageHistory]
)
/// Check if a user has the `.banMembers` guild-wide permission.
let hasGuildPermission = guild.userHasGuildPermission(
userId: <#User ID#>,
permission: .banMembers
)
/// Check if a user has a role.
let hasRole = guild.userHasRole(
userId: <#User ID#>,
roleId: <#Role ID#>
)
```
### Sharding
Click to expand
Sharding is a way of splitting up your bot's load accross different `GatewayManager`s. It is useful if:
* You want to implement zero-down-time scaling/updating.
* You have too many guilds to be handeled by just 1 `GatewayManager`.
> **Note**
> Discord says sharding is required for bots with 2500 and more guilds. For more info, refer to the [Discord docs](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#sharding)
To enable sharding, simply replace your `BotGatewayManager` with `ShardingGatewayManager`:
```swift
let bot = await ShardingGatewayManager(
eventLoopGroup: httpClient.eventLoopGroup,
httpClient: httpClient,
token: <#Your Bot Token#>,
presence: .init( /// Set up bot's initial presence
/// Will show up as "Playing Fortnite"
activities: [.init(name: "Fortnite", type: .game)],
status: .online,
afk: false
),
/// Add all the intents you want
/// You can also use `Gateway.Intent.unprivileged` or `Gateway.Intent.allCases`
intents: [.guildMessages, .messageContent]
)
```
And that's it! You've already enabled sharding. `DiscordBM` will create as many `BotGatewayManager`s as Discord suggests under the hood of `ShardingGatewayManager`, and will automatically handle them.
> **Note**
> `ShardingGatewayManager` might still only create 1 `BotGatewayManager` if that's what Discord suggests.
`ShardingGatewayManager` takes a few more options than `BotGatewayManager` to customize how you want to perform sharding:
```swift
let bot: any GatewayManager = await ShardingGatewayManager(
eventLoopGroup: httpClient.eventLoopGroup,
httpClient: httpClient,
configuration: .init(
/// You can request an exact amount of shard counts using `.exact()`.
/// Defaults to `.automatic` which means it will ask Discord for a suggestion of how many shards to spin up.
shardCount: .exact(<#number#>),
/// This is an opportunity to customize what shard takes care of which intents.
/// By default, all intents are passed to all shards.
makeIntents: { (indexOfShard: Int, totalShardCount: Int) -> [Gateway.Intent] in
/// return a value of type `[Gateway.Intent]` based on `indexOfShard` and `totalShardCount`.
}
),
...
)
```

### Discord Logger
Click to expand
`DiscordLogger` enables you to send your logs to Discord with beautiful formatting and a lot of customization options.
Read more about it at https://github.com/DiscordBM/DiscordLogger.
### React-To-Role
Click to expand
React-To-Role helps you assign roles to members when they react to a message.
Read more about it at https://github.com/DiscordBM/DiscordReactToRole.
## Testability
Click to expand
`DiscordBM` comes with tools to make testing your app easier.
* You can type-erase your `BotGatewayManager`s using the `GatewayManager` protocol so you can override your gateway manager with a mocked implementation in tests.
* You can also do the same for `DefaultDiscordClient` and type-erase it using the `DiscordClient` protocol so you can provide a mocked implementation when testing.
## Implementation Details
### Default Discord Client
Click to expand
These are some general implementation detail notes about the `DefaultDiscordClient`.
Generally, the `DefaultDiscordClient` will try to be as smart as possible with minimal compromise.
> I'll refer to `DefaultDiscordClient` as "DDC" to be more concise.
#### Rate Limits
`DiscordBM` comes with a `HTTPRateLimiter` type that keeps track of the `x-ratelimit` headers.
This, in conjunction with `ClientConfiguration`'s `RetryPolicy`, helps `DiscordBM` to recover from what that can otherwise be a `429 Too Many Requests` error from Discord.
The behavior specified below is enabled by default.
* Before each request, DDC will ask the rate-limiter if the headers allow a request.
* The rate-limiter will respond with `yes, you can`, `no, you can't` or `yes, but you must wait x seconds first, otherwise no`.
* If the response is `yes`, the DDC will continue performing the request.
* If the response is `no`, the DDC will throw a "rate-limited" error.
* If the response is `yes, but you must wait x seconds first, otherwise no`, then the DDC will look at the `retryPolicy` of its `configuration`.
* The DDC will act like there has been a `429` error, and will ask the `retryPolicy` if it's possible to retry such a failure, and under what circumstances.
* The `retryPolicy` may specify that `429` requests can be retried `basedOnHeaders` if not longer than `maxAllowed` seconds.
* The DDC will wait as long as `x seconds` which the rate-limiter specified, then will perform the request. This only happens if the `x seconds` is not longer than the `maxAllowed`.
* In any other cases other than specified above, the DDC will fail with a "rate-limited" error.
#### Concurrent Requests
`ClientConfiguration`s `CachingBehavior` has the ability to avoid multiple concurrent requests with the same "cacheable identity".
* You can enable caching using DDC's `configuration.cachingBehavior` through the initializers by passing `cachingBehavior: .minimal`, `.enabled` or the `.custom` static functions.
* As an example, if you have caching enabled for a cacheable endpoint, and you make 10 concurrent requests to the endpoint with the same parameters, the DDC will only perform 1 of those requests, and let the other 9 requests use the cached value.
## How To Add DiscordBM To Your Project
To use the `DiscordBM` library in a SwiftPM project,
add the following line to the dependencies in your `Package.swift` file:
```swift
.package(url: "https://github.com/DiscordBM/DiscordBM", from: "1.0.0"),
```
Include `DiscordBM` as a dependency for your targets:
```swift
.target(name: "", dependencies: [
.product(name: "DiscordBM", package: "DiscordBM"),
]),
```
Finally, add `import DiscordBM` to your source code.
## Versioning
`DiscordBM` will try to follow Semantic Versioning 2.0.0, with exceptions:
* To keep `DiscordBM` up to date with Discord API's frequent changes, `DiscordBM` will **add** any new properties to any types in **minor** versions, even if it's technically a breaking change.
* `DiscordBM` tries to minimize the effect of this requirement. For example most enums have an underscored case named `__undocumented` which asks users to use non-exhaustive switch statements, preventing future code-breakages.
## Contribution & Support
* If you need help with anything, ask in [DiscordBM's Discord server](https://discord.gg/kxfs5n7HVE).
* Any contribution is more than welcome. You can find me in the server to discuss your ideas.
* If there is missing/upcoming feature, you can make an issue/PR for it with a link to the related Discord docs page or the related issue/PR in [Discord docs repository](https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs).
* Passing the `linux-integration` tests is not required for PRs because of token/access problems.
