A Discord API wrapper for Clojure, aimed at providing a simple, idiomatic, easy-to-use interface for creating Discord bots.
Disclojure is still heavily in development, and said development is currently aimed not at ease of use but at completeness. It comes as a use-at-your-own-risk option for advanced users. For example, at time of writing there is no built-in caching support or ratelimit protection. Eventually, once the library is satisfactorily feature-complete, my attention will turn towards ease of use.
To install, add the following dependency to your project or build file:
[com.tripl3dogdare/disclojure "Indev"]WARNING: Disclojure is currently in heavy development and changes are not being versioned. It should be considered very unstable as a dependency. Once it is complete enough to be used reliably, proper versioning will be used.
For a full example bot kept reliably up to date with the current state of the library, you can see example/testbot.clj.
(ns discord-bot
(:require
[disclojure.core :as dc]))
; A simple bot that just prints the text of any message it receives to the console
(defn -main []
(-> (slurp "token.txt") ; Retrieve the token from a separate, .gitignore'd file
dc/create-client ; Create a new client instance using the token
; Create a new listener for the :message event.
; The event map recieved by the listener has the keys :data, :type, and :client.
; The threading macro here uses the (:key map) syntax
; to access the :data attribute (the raw event payload)
; and from there the :content attribute (the text of the message).
(dc/on :message #(-> % :data :content println))
dc/run)) ; Connect the client to Discord and away we go!- Caching (WIP)
