Bot Commons

A framework for creating bots for Discord using JDA

Features

Commands Framework

To create a command, simply create a class that is annotated with @MethodCommandHolder(string: Optional group); Then create a function that is annotated with @MethodCommand(). (View the @MethodCommand class for more information on the parameters.) Then, register the command using MethodCommandManager.addCommands(CommandHolderClass.class).

Below is an example of a command, along with how to use parameters:

import botcommons.commands.*;

// You can also specify a group for the commands in the holder
@CommandHolder
public class PingCommand {
	@Command(name = "ping", help = "Pong!")
	public void execute(GenericCommandEvent event,
						@Param(
								description = "A user",
								type = Param.ParamType.USER
						)
						// the name of the argument is grabbed from the parameter name        
						User user) {
		event.replySuccess("Pong! " + user.getAsMention()).finish(message -> {
			// Success consumer
		});
	}
}

public class Main {
	// ...
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		JDA jda = JDABuilder.createDefault("token")
				.addEventListeners(new CommandManager())
				.build();

		CommandManager.addCommands(PingCommand.class);
	}
	// ...
}

Config Framework

There are 2 types of configs: Config and GuildConfig.

Config is a config that is shared across all servers.
GuildConfig is a config that is specific to a server.

Config

To create a config, simply add this to your bot:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // ...
    Config.botName = "BotName"; // This will be used as the name of the config file
    Config config = Config.makeConfig(new HashMap<>(){{
        put("key", "value");
        put("another key", new String[]{"Values can be anything", "Such as lists"});
        put("a third key", new Player("PlayerName", 1000)); // Or even objects
    }});
    // ...
}

Then, to get a value, simply call config#get(String key). I recommend storing the Config instance in a variable.

GuildConfig

To create a server config, add this listener to your JDA instance, however you wish to do that.:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // ...
	JDA jda = JDABuilder.createDefault("token")
			.addEventListeners(new ConfigManager(new HashMap<>(){{
				put("key", "value");
				put("another key", new String[]{"Values can be anything", "Such as lists"});
				put("a third key", new Player("PlayerName", 1000)); // Or even objects
			}}))
			.build();
    // ...
}

NOTE: This will automatically create the /sql and /config commands

Disclaimer

EVERYTHING AFTER THIS POINT IS NOT ACCURATE. I WILL UPDATE IT SOON.

Menu Framework

NOTE: YOU MUST call JDA.addEventListener(PaginationListener) to enable the menu framework.

To create a menu, simply call PaginatedMenuHandler#addMenu(PaginatedMenuHandler#buildMenu()), and pass in the data for each page.

You can also reply to commands with a menu, by calling CommandEvent#replyMenu(PaginatedMenuHandler#buildMenu()).

NOTE: YOU MUST call JDA.addEventListener(PaginationListener) to enable the menu framework.

Cache Framework
