Ezdrb

Write Discord bots faster (Discordrb-only).

Install

$ gem install ezdrb

Usage

$ ezdrb <command>

Commands available

• help [command]: Lists all commands available.
• event <event>: Creates new event handler (see all available events: https://www.rubydoc.info/github/meew0/discordrb/Discordrb/EventContainer)
• init: Creates a new bot in the current directory (recommended: run this in an empty directory)
• command <command>: Creates a new bot command. You can find all bot commands in the commands/ directory.

Example

1. Create the bot:

$ mkdir my-awesome-bot && cd "$_"
$ ezdrb init
Creating new EZDRB project...

Set prefix: ++
Set token: 123456789

By running ls you should get this structure:

$ ls
Attributes.rb  bot.rb  commands/  Commands.rb  config/

2. Add commands to the bot:

$ ezdrb command ping

All available commands are in config/commands.yml:

$ cat config/commands.yml
commands:
- ping

3. Edit commands:

$ vim commands/Ping.rb. You should get something like this:

class Ping

  def activate(bot)
    bot.command :ping do |event|
      puts "pong!"
    end
  end

end

Ping.new

Write your command script inside the bot.command block.

4. Add event handlers to the bot:

$ ezdrb event channel_create

All bot handlers are stored in config/events.yml:

$ cat config/events.yml
events:
- Channel_create

See all available events here.

5. Edit handlers

$ vim commands/Channel_create.rb. You should get something like this:

class Channel_create

  def activate(bot)
    bot.channel_create do |event|
      puts "channel has been added"
    end
  end

end

Channel_create.new

Write what your bot should do when the event is triggered inside the bot.channel_create block.

6. Run the bot:

Run bot.rb:

$ ruby bot.rb

To do

• delete a bot command
• add events
• remove events
• run the bot from ezdrb
• use erb for code generation
