    // some fields omitted
}

A file uploaded with a message. Not to be confused with Embeds.

Fields

id: AttachmentId

The unique ID given to this attachment.

filename: String

The filename of the file that was uploaded. This is equivalent to what the uploader had their file named.

Implementations

impl Attachment

pub fn dimensions(&self) -> Option<(u64, u64)>

If this attachment is an image, then a tuple of the width and height in pixels is returned.

pub async fn download<'_>(&'_ self) -> Result<Vec<u8>>

Downloads the attachment, returning back a vector of bytes.

Examples

Download all of the attachments associated with a Message:

struct Handler;

                    println!("Error downloading attachment: {:?}", why);

                    return;
                },
            };

            let mut file = match File::create(&attachment.filename).await {

                    let _ = message.channel_id.say(&context, "Error creating file").await;

                    return;
                },

            if let Err(why) = file.write(&content).await {
                println!("Error writing to file: {:?}", why);

                return;
            }

            let _ = message.channel_id.say(&context, &format!("Saved {:?}", attachment.filename)).await;
        }
    }

    async fn ready(&self, _: Context, ready: Ready) {
        println!("{} is connected!", ready.user.name);
    }
}
let token = std::env::var("DISCORD_TOKEN")?;
let mut client = Client::builder(&token).event_handler(Handler).await?;

client.start().await?;

Errors
