About this repository

This repository demonstrates how to use the new Discord select menu API introduced by twilight-rs/twilight#2219 and, now that this PR is merged, how the API introduced by twilight-rs/twilight#2281 is used.

Most notably, the code in this repository is a quick and dirty example and should not be used in production. Its sole purpose is to provide an example that allows others to test the new API with a real Discord bot. The bot doesn't implement any useful behaviour (outside testing).

Required intents and permissions

The bot user requires the following permissions to read and send messages in a specific channel:

• View Channel
• Send Messages

Usage

The bot expects the parent directory to contain a clone of twilight. Specifically, it searches in ../twilight/twilight-{gateway,http,model} for the respective crates. The clone should be checked out at the most recent commit of the Pull Request mentioned above. At the time of writing this README, that's commit c9a1a7ff4eda4149d49e80724171484a252c102a.

If you have cloned your code in a different directory, simply change the path fields in Cargo.toml accordingly.

Next, run the bot with

DISCORD_TOKEN='YoUrDisCoRdToKeN' cargo run

You can then use /select in any channel the bot user can access.
