# 
filthy-rich
**Tiny, ergonomic Discord Rich Presence library for your Rust apps.**
```rust
//! A sneak-peek into what you will be working with:
//!
use filthy_rich::{PresenceRunner, errors::PresenceError, types::Activity};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), PresenceError> {
let mut runner = PresenceRunner::new("1463450870480900160");
let activity = Activity::new()
.name("cool app name")
.details("Something?")
.state("Probably~")
.build()?;
let client = runner.run(true).await?;
client.set_activity(activity).await?;
// indefinitely block here
runner.wait().await?;
Ok(())
}
```
### Bulletin
> [!WARNING]
> Even though this library follows most of Discord's spec-sheet, some features which are not even implemented in Discord itself but were included in the documentation have been skipped for a smoother experience.
> [!NOTE]
> Requires Rust 1.85.0 or later (MSRV).
## Getting Started
Add `filthy-rich` to your project with this command:
```bash
cargo add filthy-rich
```
## 🌺 Features
- Really easy to implement; just create a client ID at the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers) and you're good to go.
- Fruitful `Activity` builder with a *type-state builder pattern* - guaranteed to make you fall in love with setting presences.
- Ergonomic `on_ready`, `on_activity_send` and other event registers to work with are *all included*.
- 100% coverage of the usable spec of Discord RPC (presence-related only).
- Fully asynchronous but easily wrappable for synchronous usage.
- *Client-runner architecture* for easy use in multithreaded apps or contexts.
- Automatically reconnects on disconnect, making your presence persist for prolonged periods of time.
- (TODO) Supports optional auth flow for elevated privileges.
## Starter Snippets
Examples are included with the project. See these:
1. For an indefinitely running, elaborate rich presence, [see this](./examples/indefinite.rs).
2. For an timed, changing rich presence, [see this](./examples/timed.rs).
3. For a very simple snippet, [see this](./examples/simple.rs).
To run these:
```bash
# First, clone and `cd` into the repository.
git clone https://github.com/hitblast/filthy-rich && cd filthy-rich
# Now, run any of the examples:
cargo run --example indefinite # ex. 1
cargo run --example timed # ex. 2
cargo run --example simple # ex. 3
```

## Off-Topic Literature
#### Yet another library?
I did not want to bother myself with manually implementing Rich Presence everytime I start working on an app, so I created this library to make things much simpler; I just wanted a client that does its job in the background.
Also, other implementations felt much more complex to me and also felt like they lacked precise control. This is a more "spread-out" opinion and might hide the truth for some libraries, but yeah, nothing better than throwing your own luck into making yet another IPC RPC client.
#### Inspirations
An attempt to make an eye-candy syntax for this library was inspired by [discord.py](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py).
