Create a discord bot application

To create a discord bot application, follow the following steps:

1. Go to the discord developer portal and login using your discord account
2. In the top right corner of the page, click New Application.
   • Give your application a name in the popup
   • Agree to the discord terms of service and the discord developer policy and click on create
3. Go into the Bot submenu and click on Add bot. Then click Yes, do it!
4. Now you've created your bot! Scroll down on this page and check all options under Privileged Gateway Intents. (NOTE: This will change in the future depending on the gateway intents you will actually need.)
5. Go into OAuth2 > URL Generator
   • Under scopes, click bot
   • Then, under Bot Permissions, click Administrator, or all permissions you are going to use
   • Invite your bot to your server using the link on the bottom of the page
6. Go back into Bot and click the Reset token button
   • Click Yes, do it! and copy the token.
   • Use this token in the Client.login("token") method.

Now your bot is fully set-up for discord! Go into your favorite IDE and create your first discord bot using dartcord!

Usage

Simple hello command

import 'package:dartcord_core/dartcord_core.dart';

const String token = "token";

void onMessage(Message message) async {
    if(message.author.bot) return;

    if(message.content == "!hello") {
        return await message.reply("Hello!");
    }
}

void main() async {
    Client c = Client();

    c.onReady((User user) {
        print("${user.username} is online!");
    });
    c.onMessage(onMessage);

    c.login(token);
}
