An implementation of the Discord API using Ruby.
On Linux, it should be as simple as running:
$ gem install discordrb
On Windows, to install discordrb, run this in a shell:
$ gem install discordrb
Run the ping example to verify that the installation works:
$ ruby ping.rb
If you get an error like this when installing the gem:
ERROR: Error installing discordrb:
The 'websocket-driver' native gem requires installed build tools.
You're missing the development kit required to build native extensions. Follow these instructions and reinstall discordrb:
$ gem uninstall discordrb
$ gem install discordrb
If you get an error like this when running the example:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): Encryption not available on this event-machine
You're missing the OpenSSL libraries that EventMachine, a dependency of discordrb, needs to be built with to use encrypted connections (which Discord requires). Download the OpenSSL libraries from here, install them to their default location and reinstall EventMachine using these libraries:
$ gem uninstall eventmachine
$ gem install eventmachine -- --with-ssl-dir=C:/OpenSSL-Win32
You can make a simple bot like this:
require 'discordrb'
bot = Discordrb::Bot.new "email@example.com", "hunter2"
bot.message(with_text: "Ping!") do |event|
event.respond "Pong!"
end
bot.runThis bot responds to every "Ping!" with a "Pong!".
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake false to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
