How do I import this?

It is strongly recommended to use Gradle version 7 or higher

// Kotlin build.gradle.kts
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.jessecorbett:diskord-bot:5.5.1")
}

Note: The diskord-bot artifact bundles org.slf4j:slf4j-simple to provide basic logging to STDOUT with no configuration. This can be excluded in favor of your own slf4j logger using gradle exclusion:

// Kotlin build.gradle.kts
configurations {
  implementation {
    exclude("org.slf4j", "slf4j-simple")
  }
}

The library is packaged into two artifacts.

diskord-core is the low level implementation of the Discord API. Read more

diskord-bot provides an easier to use API for common bot functions. Read more

For an example project you can easily clone to get started, look at the diskord-starter repo.

There are also a collection of examples in the diskord-examples repo.

Simple Example

import com.jessecorbett.diskord.bot.*
import com.jessecorbett.diskord.util.*

suspend fun main() {
    bot(TOKEN) {
        // Generic hook set for all events
        events {
            onGuildMemberAdd {
                channel(WELCOME_CHANNEL_ID).sendMessage("Welcome to the server, ${it.user?.username}!")
            }
        }
      
        // Modern interactions API for slash commands, user commands, etc
        interactions {
            slashCommand("echo", "Makes the bot say something") {
                val message by stringParameter("message", "The message", optional = true)
                callback {
                    respond {
                        content = if (message != null) {
                            message
                        } else {
                            "The message was null, because it is optional"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            commandGroup("emoji", "Send an emoji to the server", guildId = "424046347428167688") {
                subgroup("smile", "Smile emoji") {
                    slashCommand("slight", "A slight smile emoji") {
                        callback {
                            respond {
                                content = "🙂"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

                slashCommand("shh", "The shh emoji") {
                    val secret by stringParameter("secret", "Send the emoji secretly")
                    callback {
                        respond {
                            content = "🤫"
                            if (secret) {
                                ephemeral
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
      
        // The old-fashioned way, it uses messages, such as .ping, for commands
        classicCommands("!") {
            command("ping") {
                it.respond("pong")
            }
        }
    }
