Inspiration

This library is a side project of mine which I started as an inspiration of discord.py by Rapptz, The aim of this library is to provide a simple interface to interact with Discord API by abstracting away most of the complications.

Note

This library is work in progress and NOT meant for production use and is a total experimental and fun project, If you are looking for a solid library for developing a production ready bot, then checkout few of the other projects (biased list):

• Discord.py
• Diskord ^(biased)
• Hikari

Usage

import aiocord
import asyncio

client = aiocord.Client()

@client.listener
async def on_ready():
  print(f'Bot is ready. {client.user}')

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(client.connect('bot-token-here'))

Below example is currently a concept or idea of library future design:

import aiocord
import asyncio

client = aiocord.Client()

@client.listener
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author.bot: # don't respond to a bot (or ourself)
    return
  
  if message.content.lower() == '>ping':
    await message.channel.send('Pong!')

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(client.connect('bot-token-here'))

You can find more examples in /examples directory.

Contributing

While this is a fun project doesn't mean this library is not looking for contributions, it is! You are free to contribute to this library
