Stability

The public API of DisGo is mostly stable at this point in time. Smaller breaking changes can happen before the v1 is released.

After v1 is released breaking changes may only happen if the Discord API requires them. They tend to break their released API versions now and then. In general for every new Discord API version the major version of DisGo should be increased and with that breaking changes between non-major versions should be held to a minimum.

Getting Started

Installing

go get github.com/disgoorg/disgo

Building a DisGo Instance

Build a bot client to interact with the Discord API

package main

import (
	"context"
	"os"
	"os/signal"
	"syscall"

	"github.com/disgoorg/disgo"
	"github.com/disgoorg/disgo/bot"
	"github.com/disgoorg/disgo/events"
	"github.com/disgoorg/disgo/gateway"
)

func main() {
	client, err := disgo.New("token",
		// set gateway options
		bot.WithGatewayConfigOpts(
			// set enabled intents
			gateway.WithIntents(
				gateway.IntentGuilds,
				gateway.IntentGuildMessages,
				gateway.IntentDirectMessages,
			),
		),
		// add event listeners
		bot.WithEventListenerFunc(func(e *events.MessageCreate) {
			// event code here
		}),
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// connect to the gateway
	if err = client.OpenGateway(context.TODO()); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	s := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
	signal.Notify(s, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)
	<-s
}

Logging

DisGo uses our own small logging interface which you can use with most other logging libraries. This lib also comes with a default logger which is based on the standard log package.

Documentation

Documentation is wip and can be found under

GitHub Wiki is currently under construction. We appreciate help here.

Examples

You can find examples here

There is also a bot template with commands & db here

or in these projects:

• Disgo-Butler
• Reddit-Discord-Bot
• Kitsune-Bot
• KittyBot

Libraries for DisGo

• handler is a simple application command, component and modal handler library.

• disgomd is a command utility library that uses struct based approach

Other interesting Projects to look at

Lavalink

Is a standalone audio sending node based on Lavaplayer and JDA-Audio. Which allows for sending audio without it ever reaching any of your shards. Lavalink can be used in combinatio with DisGolink for music Bots

Being used in production by FredBoat, Dyno, LewdBot, and more.

DisGolink

Is a Lavalink-Client which can be used to communicate with LavaLink to play/search tracks

DisLog

Is a Discord webhook logger hook for logrus

Other Golang Discord Libraries

• discordgo
• disgord
• arikawa
• corde
