discordcdn 0.0.1

Discord as a CDN! Upload images with ease to Discord and serve them in your applications!

discord-cdn.dart

Use Discord as a CDN.

Upload images to Discord and serve them using Discord blazing fast CDN.

How to use

Right now you can upload images using the Bot HTTP REST API, which is implemented in the BotDiscordClient class. To use it in your app, it is as simple as:

final botToken = '<bot_token>';
final channelId = '<channel_id>';

final discordClient = withBotToken(botToken);

final uploadImageResult = await discordClient.uploadImage(
    image: DiscordUploadableImage(
        bytes: dart_logo_bytes,
        format: 'jpeg',
        name: 'my super cool image',
    ),
    channelId: channelId,
);

Why use discord-cdn.dart?

The main use case that inspired the development of this package, is to provide developers (mostly indie) a way to store and retrieve for free and in a fast manner.

Side Effects

Powered by Dart null sound + dartz monads, this package is free of null issues and side effects. This is to prevent the throw of any exception that may not be known and caught by developers, and to make sure that information is consistent by contract.

The uploadImage returns an Either monad that either returns the the URL of the image available on Discord CDN on the right hand, or ResponseError instance on the left hand that is typed to several possible Discord API errors (see available errors here).
