discord-rs

discord-rs is a Rust client library for the Discord chat client's API.

The Discord API can be divided into three main components: the RESTful API to which calls can be made to take actions, a websocket-based permanent connection over which state updates are received, and the voice calling system.

Log in to Discord with Discord::new. The resulting value can be used to make REST API calls to post messages and manipulate Discord state. Calling connect() will open a websocket connection, through which events can be received. These two channels are enough to write a simple chatbot which can read and respond to messages.

For more in-depth tracking of Discord state, a State can be seeded with the ReadyEvent obtained when opening a Connection and kept updated with the events received over it.

To use the voice call system, initialize a VoiceConnection with the user id received in the ReadyEvent, call voice_connect on the Connection, and pass events to VoiceConnection::update. Once the connection has been established, audio queued through push_pcm and push_file will be sent over the voice connection.
