Build that discord bot in Haskell! Also checkout the
[calamity haskell library](https://github.com/nitros12/calamity)
for a more advanced interface.

This is an example bot that replies "pong" to messages that start with "ping". Checkout the [other examples](./examples/) for things like state management.

```haskell
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}  -- allows "string literals" to be Text
import           Control.Monad (when, void)
import           UnliftIO.Concurrent
import           Data.Text (isPrefixOf, toLower, Text)
import qualified Data.Text.IO as TIO

import           Discord
import           Discord.Types
import qualified Discord.Requests as R

-- | Replies "pong" to every message that starts with "ping"
pingpongExample :: IO ()
pingpongExample = do
    userFacingError <- runDiscord $ def
             { discordToken = "Bot ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"
             , discordOnEvent = eventHandler    }
    TIO.putStrLn userFacingError
    -- userFacingError is an unrecoverable error
    -- put normal 'cleanup' code in discordOnEnd (see examples)

eventHandler :: Event -> DiscordHandler ()
eventHandler event = case event of
    MessageCreate m -> when (isPing m && (not (fromBot m)) $ do
        void $ restCall (R.CreateReaction (messageChannelId m, messageId m) "eyes")
        threadDelay (2 * 10^6)
        void $ restCall (R.CreateMessage (messageChannelId m) "Pong!")
    _ -> return ()

fromBot :: Message -> Bool
fromBot = userIsBot . messageAuthor

isPing :: Message -> Bool
isPing = ("ping" `isPrefixOf`) . toLower . messageContent
```

#### Discord Server

Ask questions, get updates, request features, etc in the project discord server: <https://discord.gg/eaRAGgX3bK>

#### Official Discord Documentation

This api closley matches the [official discord documentation](https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro),
which lists the rest requests, gateway events, and gateway sendables.

You can use the docs to check the name of something you want to do. For example:
the docs list a [Get Channel](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#get-channel) API path,
which translates to discord-haskell's rest request ADT for `GetChannel` of type `ChannelId -> ChannelRequest Channel`.

#### Open an Issue

If something goes wrong: check the error message (optional: check [the debugging logs](./docs/debugging.md)), make sure you have the most recent version, ask on discord, or open a github issue.
