Automate  

Automate is a low level and asynchronous rust library for interacting with the Discord API

Getting started

Automate currently only works with Rust nightly. The tested version and the one used in CI is nightly-2020-01-31. Refer to rust edition guide to learn how to switch to rust nightly.

In order to use Automate in your project, add the following line to your Cargo.toml :

[dependencies]
automate = "0.2.1"

You can then write the following in your main.rs. This simple example will respond Hello ! to any user posting a message in any channel while ignoring messages from bots. In order for this example to work, you need to define the DISCORD_API_TOKEN environment variable. You can create a bot and generate a token on Discord's developers portal.

#[macro_use]
extern crate automate;

use automate::{Error, Discord, Session};
use automate::gateway::MessageCreateDispatch;
use automate::http::CreateMessage;
use std::env;

#[listener(event = "message_create")]
async fn say_hello(session: &Session, data: &MessageCreateDispatch) -> Result<(), Error> {
    let message = &data.0;

    if message.author.id != session.bot().id {
        let content = Some(format!("Hello {}!", message.author.username));

        session.create_message(message.channel_id, CreateMessage {
            content,
            ..Default::default()
        }).await?;
    }

    Ok(())
}

fn main() {
    automate::setup_logging();

    Discord::new(&env::var("DISCORD_API_TOKEN").expect("API token not found"))
        .on_message_create(say_hello)
        .connect_blocking()
}
