Hello, and welcome to DiscordCoreAPI! This is a Discord bot library, written in C++, that leverages custom asynchronous CoRoutines, as well as a home-brew set of Https, WebSocket, and Datagram socket clients - all to deliver the utmost performance and efficiency for your bot. It uses roughly 0.1% of an Intel i7 9750h CPU to stream audio in high quality (Opus @ 48Khz, 16-bit) to a single server.

Features

Convert Snowflakes Into Data


Performant


Audio-Bridge


CPU Efficient


  • It only uses about 0.1% of an Intel i7 9750h to stream audio in high quality (Opus 48Khz 16-bit Stereo) to a single server.

Entire Discord API Covered


  • All of the Discord API endpoints are covered in this library, including voice communication.

Concurrent Discord API Access


Advanced Rate-Limiting System


  • Guarantees that the order in which HTTPS requests are executed is the same that they were submitted in - despite being launched across different threads, while never infracting on any of the Discord API's rate-limits and while running concurrently across all of the endpoints.

Slash Commands and Buttons



Select Menus



User Commands



Message Commands



Modal Text Inputs




A Unified "Input-Event" System


  • User interactions (Application Commands, Message Commands, User Commands) are accepted via the discord_core_api::event_manager::onInputEventCreation event.
  • They can all be responded to using the discord_core_api::input_events::respondToInputEventAsync() function.
  • Alternatively you can implement your own input-event handling by using the raw discord_core_api::event_manager::onInteractionCreation or discord_core_api::event_manager::onMessageCreation events.
    EmbedData newEmbed{};
    newEmbed.setAuthor(args.eventData.getUserName(), args.eventData.getAvatarURL());
    newEmbed.setDescription("------\\n__**Sorry, but there's already something playing!**__\\n------");
    newEmbed.setTimeStamp(getTimeAndDate());
    newEmbed.setTitle("__**Playing Issue:**__");
    newEmbed.setColor(discordGuild.data.borderColor);
    RespondToInputEventData dataPackage{ args.eventData };
    dataPackage.addMessageEmbed(newEmbed);
    dataPackage.setResponseType(InputEventResponseType::Ephemeral_Interaction_Response);
    InputEventData newEvent = input_events::respondToInputEvent(dataPackage);
    input_events::deleteInputEventResponseAsync(const newEvent, 20000).get();

Build Instructions (Full-Vcpkg)


  • Install vcpkg, if need be.
  • Make sure to run vcpkg integrate install.
  • Enter within a terminal vcpkg install discordcoreapi:x64-windows_OR_linux.
  • Set up a console project in your IDE and make sure to set the C++ standard to C++20 or later - and include discord_core_api::discordcoreapi/Index.hpp.
  • Build and run!

Dependencies


  • CMake (Version 3.20 or greater)
  • NOTE: I installed these using the vcpkg installer.
  • Jsonifier (.\vcpkg install jsonifier:x64-windows_OR_linux)
  • OpenSSL (.\vcpkg install openssl:x64-windows_OR_linux)
  • Opus (.\vcpkg install opus:x64-windows_OR_linux)
  • Sodium (.\vcpkg install libsodium:x64-windows_OR_linux)

Build Instructions (Non-Vcpkg) - The Library


  • Install the dependencies.
  • Clone this git repository into a folder.
  • Set, in CMakeLists.txt, the _VCPKG_ROOT_DIR, or the Opus_DIR, unofficial-sodium_DIR paths to wherever each of the respective dependency files are located and they are as follows:
    • Opus_DIR # Set this one to the folder location of the file "OpusConfig.cmake".
    • unofficial-sodium_DIR # Set this one to the folder location of the file "unofficial-sodiumConfig.cmake".
    • OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR # Set this one to the folder location of the include folder and library folders of OpenSSL.
  • Open a terminal inside the git repo's folder.
  • Run cmake -S . --preset Linux_OR_Windows-Debug_OR_Release.
  • Then run cmake --build --preset Linux_OR_Windows-Debug_OR_Release.
  • Run within the same terminal and folder cmake --install ./Build/Debug_OR_Release.
  • The default installation paths are: Windows = "ROOT_DRIVE:/Users/USERNAME/CMake/DiscordCoreAPI", Linux = "/home/USERNAME/CMake/DiscordCoreAPI"

The CMAKE Package


  • By running cmake --install ./Build/Debug_OR_Release, you will be given a cmake package, which can be used to build from this library, using other cmake projects.
  • It is used by setting DiscordCoreAPI_DIR to wherever the DiscordCoreAPIConfig.cmake file would have been installed on your system by having run the cmake --install command, and then using find_package() on DiscordCoreAPI.
  • When found, you will be granted the following cmake "variables"; DiscordCoreAPI::DiscordCoreAPI - this is the library target which can be linked to from other targets in cmake, and on Windows; $<TARGET_RUNTIME_DLLS:DiscordCoreAPI-Bot> - which is a list of dll files to be copied into your executable's final location after building. As well as RELEASE_PDB_FILE_PATH, DEBUG_PDB_FILE_PATH, RELEASE_PDB_FILE_NAME, and DEBUG_PDB_FILE_NAME, which are full file/directory paths/filenames to the library's PDB files.
  • Here is an example of building an executable from this library with this method.

Build Instructions (Non-Vcpkg) - The Executable


  • Download the bot template or create your own with the same imports, and set within it either the VCPKG_ROOT_DIR, or the CMAKE_CONFIG_FILE_DIR, Opus_DIR, and unofficial-sodium_DIR paths to wherever each of the respective dependency files are located and they are as follows:
    • CMAKE_CONFIG_FILE_DIR # Set this one to the folder location of the DiscordCoreAPIConfig.cmake generated while running CMake –install.
    • Opus_DIR # Set this one to the folder location of the file "OpusConfig.cmake".
    • unofficial-sodium_DIR # Set this one to the folder location of the file "unofficial-sodiumConfig.cmake".
    • OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR # Set this one to the folder location of the include folder and library folders of OpenSSL.
  • Set up a main.cpp like this one, including the header discordcoreapi/Index.hpp.
  • Run in a terminal from within the same folder as the top-level CMakeLists.txt, cmake -S . --preset Linux_OR_Windows-Debug_OR_Release.
  • Then run cmake --build --preset Linux_OR_Windows-Debug_OR_Release.
  • Run within the same terminal and folder cmake --install ./Build/Debug_OR_Release.
  • The default installation paths are: Windows = "ROOT_DRIVE:/Users/USERNAME/CMake/Bot-Template-For-DiscordCoreAPI", Linux = "/home/USERNAME/CMake/Bot-Template-For-DiscordCoreAPI"
