What are the performance impacts of this library?

Not a lot for a Discord bot:

THIS IS OUTDATED. TODO: UPDATE.

IndentLine prefixes every line from input with a single-level indentation.

func Start 

func Start(token string, cmd interface{},
	opts func(*Context) error) (wait func() error, err error)

Start quickly starts a bot with the given command. It will prepend "Bot" into the token automatically. Refer to example/ for usage.

func Wait()

Wait blocks until SIGINT.

Types

type ArgsParser 

type ArgsParser func(content string) ([]string, error)

ArgsParser is the function type for parsing message content into fields, usually delimited by spaces.

func DefaultArgsParser 

func DefaultArgsParser() ArgsParser

DefaultArgsParser implements a parser similar to that of shell's, implementing quotes as well as escapes.

type Argument 

type Argument struct {
	String string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Argument is each argument in a method.

func (*Argument) Type 

func (a *Argument) Type() reflect.Type

type ArgumentParts 

type ArgumentParts []string

ArgumentParts implements ManualParser, in case you want to parse arguments manually. It borrows the library's argument parser.

func (ArgumentParts) After 

func (r ArgumentParts) After(n int) string

func (ArgumentParts) Arg 

func (r ArgumentParts) Arg(n int) string

func (ArgumentParts) Length 

func (r ArgumentParts) Length() int

func (*ArgumentParts) ParseContent 

func (r *ArgumentParts) ParseContent(args []string) error

ParseContent implements ManualParser.

func (ArgumentParts) String 

func (r ArgumentParts) String() string

func (ArgumentParts) Usage 

func (r ArgumentParts) Usage() string

Usage implements Usager.

type CanHelp 

type CanHelp interface {
	Help() string
}

CanHelp is an interface that subcommands can implement to return its own help message. Those messages will automatically be indented into suitable sections by the default Help() implementation. Unlike Usager or CanSetup, the Help() method will be called every time it's needed.

type CanSetup 

type CanSetup interface {
	// Setup should panic when it has an error.
	Setup(*Subcommand)
}

CanSetup is used for subcommands to change variables, such as Description. This method will be triggered when InitCommands is called, which is during New for Context and during RegisterSubcommand for subcommands.

type Context 

type Context struct {
	*Subcommand
	*state.State

	// Descriptive (but optional) bot name
	Name string

	// Descriptive help body
	Description string

	// Called to parse message content, default to DefaultArgsParser().
	ParseArgs ArgsParser

	// Called to check a message's prefix. The default prefix is "!". Refer to
	// NewPrefix().
	HasPrefix Prefixer

	// AllowBot makes the router also process MessageCreate events from bots.
	// This is false by default and only applies to MessageCreate.
	AllowBot bool

	// QuietUnknownCommand, if true, will not make the bot reply with an unknown
	// command error into the chat. This will apply to all other subcommands.
	// SilentUnknown controls whether or not an ErrUnknownCommand should be
	// returned (instead of a silent error).
	SilentUnknown struct {
		// Command when true will silent only unknown commands. Known
		// subcommands with unknown commands will still error out.
		Command bool
		// Subcommand when true will suppress unknown subcommands.
		Subcommand bool
	}

	// FormatError formats any errors returned by anything, including the method
	// commands or the reflect functions. This also includes invalid usage
	// errors or unknown command errors. Returning an empty string means
	// ignoring the error.
	//
	// By default, this field replaces all @ with @\u200b, which prevents an
	// @everyone mention.
	FormatError func(error) string

	// ErrorLogger logs any error that anything makes and the library can't
	// reply to the client. This includes any event callback errors that aren't
	// Message Create.
	ErrorLogger func(error)

	// ReplyError when true replies to the user the error. This only applies to
	// MessageCreate events.
	ReplyError bool

	// EditableCommands when true will also listen for MessageUpdateEvent and
	// treat them as newly created messages. This is convenient if you want
	// to quickly edit a message and re-execute the command.
	EditableCommands bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Context is the bot state for commands and subcommands.

Commands

A command can be created by making it a method of Commands, or whatever struct was given to the constructor. This following example creates a command with a single integer argument (which can be ran with "~example 123"): 

func (c *Commands) Example(
    m *gateway.MessageCreateEvent, i int) (string, error) {

    return fmt.Sprintf("You sent: %d", i)
}

Commands' exported methods will all be used as commands. Messages are parsed with its first argument (the command) mapped accordingly to c.MapName, which capitalizes the first letter automatically to reflect the exported method name.

A command can either return either an error, or data and error. The only data types allowed are string, *discord.Embed, and *api.SendMessageData. Any other return types will invalidate the method.

Events

An event can only have one argument, which is the pointer to the event struct. It can also only return error. 

func (c *Commands) Example(o *gateway.TypingStartEvent) error {
    log.Println("Someone's typing!")
    return nil
}

func New 

func New(s *state.State, cmd interface{}) (*Context, error)

New makes a new context with a "~" as the prefix. cmds must be a pointer to a struct with a *Context field. Example: 

type Commands struct {
    Ctx *Context
}

cmds := &Commands{}
c, err := bot.New(session, cmds)

The default prefix is "~", which means commands must start with "~" followed by the command name in the first argument, else it will be ignored.

c.Start() should be called afterwards to actually handle incoming events.

func (*Context) Call 

func (ctx *Context) Call(event interface{}) error

Call should only be used if you know what you're doing.

func (*Context) FindCommand 

func (ctx *Context) FindCommand(structname, methodname string) *MethodContext

FindMethod finds a method based on the struct and method name. The queried names will have their flags stripped. 

// Find a command from the main context:
cmd := ctx.FindMethod("", "Method")
// Find a command from a subcommand:
cmd  = ctx.FindMethod("Starboard", "Reset")

func (*Context) Help 

func (ctx *Context) Help() string

Help generates a full Help message. It serves mainly as a reference for people to reimplement and change.

func (*Context) MustRegisterSubcommand 

func (ctx *Context) MustRegisterSubcommand(cmd interface{}) *Subcommand

MustRegisterSubcommand tries to register a subcommand, and will panic if it fails. This is recommended, as subcommands won't change after initializing once in runtime, thus fairly harmless after development.

func (*Context) MustRegisterSubcommandCustom 

func (ctx *Context) MustRegisterSubcommandCustom(cmd interface{}, name string) *Subcommand

MustReisterSubcommandCustom works similarly to MustRegisterSubcommand, but takeks an extra argument for a command name override.

func (*Context) RegisterSubcommand 

func (ctx *Context) RegisterSubcommand(cmd interface{}) (*Subcommand, error)

RegisterSubcommand registers and adds cmd to the list of subcommands. It will also return the resulting Subcommand.

func (*Context) RegisterSubcommandCustom 

func (ctx *Context) RegisterSubcommandCustom(cmd interface{}, name string) (*Subcommand, error)

RegisterSubcommand registers and adds cmd to the list of subcommands with a custom command name (optional).

func (*Context) Start 

func (ctx *Context) Start() func()

Start adds itself into the discordgo Session handlers. This needs to be run. The returned function is a delete function, which removes itself from the Session handlers.

func (*Context) Subcommands 

func (ctx *Context) Subcommands() []*Subcommand

Subcommands returns the slice of subcommands. To add subcommands, use RegisterSubcommand().

type CustomParser 

type CustomParser interface {
	CustomParse(arguments string) error
}

CustomParser has a CustomParse method, which would be passed in the full message content with the prefix and command trimmed. This is used for commands that require more advanced parsing than the default parser.

type ErrInvalidUsage 

type ErrInvalidUsage struct {
	Prefix string
	Args   []string
	Index  int
	Wrap   error

	// TODO: usage generator?
	// Here, as a reminder
	Ctx *MethodContext
}

func (*ErrInvalidUsage) Error 

func (err *ErrInvalidUsage) Error() string

func (*ErrInvalidUsage) Unwrap 

func (err *ErrInvalidUsage) Unwrap() error

type ErrUnknownCommand 

type ErrUnknownCommand struct {
	Parts  []string // max len 2
	Subcmd *Subcommand
}

func (*ErrUnknownCommand) Error 

func (err *ErrUnknownCommand) Error() string

type ManualParser 

type ManualParser interface {
	// $0 will have its prefix trimmed.
	ParseContent([]string) error
}

ManualParser has a ParseContent(string) method. If the library sees this for an argument, it will send all of the arguments into the method. If used, this should be the only argument followed after the Message Create event. Any more and the router will ignore.

type MethodContext 

type MethodContext struct {
	Description string

	// MethodName is the name of the method. This field should NOT be changed.
	MethodName string

	// Command is the Discord command used to call the method.
	Command string // plumb if empty

	// Aliases is alternative way to call command in Discord.
	Aliases []string

	// Hidden if true will not be shown by (*Subcommand).HelpGenerate().
	Hidden bool

	// Variadic is true if the function is a variadic one or if the last
	// argument accepts multiple strings.
	Variadic bool

	Arguments []Argument
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

MethodContext is an internal struct containing fields to make this library work. As such, they're all unexported. Description, however, is exported for editing, and may be used to generate more informative help messages.

func (*MethodContext) SetName 

func (cctx *MethodContext) SetName(name string)

SetName sets the command name.

func (*MethodContext) Usage 

func (cctx *MethodContext) Usage() []string

type MiddlewareContext 

type MiddlewareContext struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func ParseMiddleware 

func ParseMiddleware(mw interface{}) *MiddlewareContext

ParseMiddleware parses a middleware function. This function panics.

type Parser 

type Parser interface {
	Parse(string) error
}

Parser implements a Parse(string) method for data structures that can be used as arguments.

type Prefixer 

type Prefixer func(*gateway.MessageCreateEvent) (prefix string, ok bool)

Prefixer checks a message if it starts with the desired prefix. By default, NewPrefix() is used.

func NewPrefix 

func NewPrefix(prefixes ...string) Prefixer

NewPrefix creates a simple prefix checker using strings. As the default prefix is "!", the function is called as NewPrefix("!").

type RawArguments 

type RawArguments string

RawArguments implements the CustomParser interface, which sets all the arguments into it as raw as it could.

func (*RawArguments) CustomParse 

func (a *RawArguments) CustomParse(arguments string) error

type Subcommand 

type Subcommand struct {
	// Description is a string that's appended after the subcommand name in
	// (*Context).Help().
	Description string

	// Hidden if true will not be shown by (*Context).Help(). It will
	// also cause unknown command errors to be suppressed.
	Hidden bool

	// Raw struct name, including the flag (only filled for actual subcommands,
	// will be empty for Context):
	StructName string
	// Parsed command name:
	Command string

	// SanitizeMessage is executed on the message content if the method returns
	// a string content or a SendMessageData.
	SanitizeMessage func(content string) string

	// All registered method contexts:
	Events   []*MethodContext
	Commands []*MethodContext
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Subcommand is any form of command, which could be a top-level command or a subcommand.

Allowed method signatures

These are the acceptable function signatures that would be parsed as commands or events. A return type <T> implies that return value will be ignored. 

func(*gateway.MessageCreateEvent, ...) (string, error)
func(*gateway.MessageCreateEvent, ...) (*discord.Embed, error)
func(*gateway.MessageCreateEvent, ...) (*api.SendMessageData, error)
func(*gateway.MessageCreateEvent, ...) (T, error)
func(*gateway.MessageCreateEvent, ...) error
func(*gateway.MessageCreateEvent, ...)
func(<AnyEvent>) (T, error)
func(<AnyEvent>) error
func(<AnyEvent>)

func NewSubcommand 

func NewSubcommand(cmd interface{}) (*Subcommand, error)

NewSubcommand is used to make a new subcommand. You usually wouldn't call this function, but instead use (*Context).RegisterSubcommand().

func (*Subcommand) AddAliases 

func (sub *Subcommand) AddAliases(commandName string, aliases ...string)

AddAliases add alias(es) to specific command (defined with MethodName). This removes silently all duplicate aliases. Use this instead overwriting aliases for safety reasons (duplicates).

func (*Subcommand) AddMiddleware 

func (sub *Subcommand) AddMiddleware(methodName string, middleware interface{})

AddMiddleware adds a middleware into multiple or all methods, including commands and events. Multiple method names can be comma-delimited. For all methods, use a star (*).

func (*Subcommand) ChangeCommandInfo 

func (sub *Subcommand) ChangeCommandInfo(methodName, cmd, desc string)

ChangeCommandInfo changes the matched methodName's Command and Description. Empty means unchanged. This function panics if methodName is not found.

func (*Subcommand) FindCommand 

func (sub *Subcommand) FindCommand(methodName string) *MethodContext

FindCommand finds the MethodContext. It panics if methodName is not found.

func (*Subcommand) Help 

func (sub *Subcommand) Help() string

Help calls the subcommand's Help() or auto-generates one with HelpGenerate() if the subcommand doesn't implement CanHelp.

func (*Subcommand) HelpGenerate 

func (sub *Subcommand) HelpGenerate() string

HelpGenerate auto-generates a help message. Use this only if you want to override the Subcommand's help, else use Help().

func (*Subcommand) Hide 

func (sub *Subcommand) Hide(methodName string)

Hide marks a command as hidden, meaning it won't be shown in help and its UnknownCommand errors will be suppressed.

func (*Subcommand) InitCommands 

func (sub *Subcommand) InitCommands(ctx *Context) error

InitCommands fills a Subcommand with a context. This shouldn't be called at all, rather you should use the RegisterSubcommand method of a Context.

func (*Subcommand) NeedsName 

func (sub *Subcommand) NeedsName()

NeedsName sets the name for this subcommand. Like InitCommands, this shouldn't be called at all, rather you should use RegisterSubcommand.

func (*Subcommand) SetPlumb 

func (sub *Subcommand) SetPlumb(methodName string)

SetPlumb sets the method as the plumbed command.

type Usager 

type Usager interface {
	Usage() string
}

Usager is used in place of the automatically parsed struct name for Parser and other interfaces.
