# bolt # bolt
The nuts and bolts of a Discord bots. Bolt is a wrapper for [discordgo](https://github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo) that provides very quick bootstrapping for simple Discord bots. The nuts-and-bolts of Discord bots. Bolt is a wrapper for [discordgo](https://github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo) that provides quick and easy bootstrapping for simple Discord bots.
## Usage ## Usage
### Token ### Token
Bolt requires a Discord bot token to run, the token must be set as an environment variable labeled "DISCORD_TOKEN" Bolt requires a Discord bot token to run, the token must be set as an environment variable labeled "DISCORD_TOKEN"
### Commands ### Commands
Commands are represented by the Command struct. Any roles in the Command struct can run the command, if the Roles field is empty anyone can run the command. Commands are represented by the command struct and contain all needed information for bolt to handle the command payload. Including the command timeout as well as the Roles allowed to run the command.
```go ```go
type Command struct { type Command struct {
Trigger string //command that triggers payload NOT including the indicator Trigger string //command that triggers payload NOT including the indicator
Payload Payload //payload function to run when a command is detected Payload Payload //payload function to run when a command is detected
Timeout time.Duration //the amount of time before command can be run again Timeout time.Duration //the amount of time before command can be run again
lastRun time.Time //timestamp of last command run lastRun time.Time //timestamp of last command run
Roles []string //roles that can use command, if none are set anyone can run the command Roles []string //roles that can use command, if none are set anyone can run
} }
``` ```
### Payload ### Payload
Payload functions are executed when a command is detected, if no errors are returned and the returned string is not empty, then the returned string is sent in reply to the command message. Payload functions are executed when a command is detected
```go ```go
type Payload func(msg Message) (string, error) type Payload func(msg Message) error
``` ```
Payload functions are given a Message argument containing the needed data for handling commands
```go
type Message struct {
Author string //username of message author
ID string //discord ID of message author
Words []string //words from message split on whitespace
Content string //entire message content
Channel string //message channel
Server string //message guild
Attachments []MessageAttachment //message attachments
}
```
The Message struct also exposes some methods to support replying to, or acknowledging command messages
```go
func (m *Message) React(emoji Reaction) error
```
The React method will react to the command message by adding the requested emoji as a reaction. Bolt comes with a few preset emoji's for easy handling but any valid emoji string can be passed.
```go
func (m *Message) Respond(res string) error
```
The Respond method will send the value of <b>res</b> in response to the command message.
```go
func Delete() error
```
The Delete method will delete the message from the text channel
### Example ### Example
