  • Patterns for Web API wrappers/clients
    2 projects | /r/rust | 6 Oct 2023
    https://github.com/serenity-rs/serenity/: A Discord client, has a file containing formattable endpoint strings that are then passed to a macro to build the endpoint. These endpoints are then obtained by deconstructing an enum with the relevant fields, which is used by the client upstream to make request. I really like this approach, the use of macros and enums feels quite natural.

  • Bot update or migration guide?
    1 project | /r/discordapp | 5 Sep 2022
    The long term way is to use Discord's interactions system, which involves application commands (slash commands, as well as context menu commands for users and messages), message components (buttons, select menus) and modals. There appears to be some examples provided by your library, including one for slash commands and one for message components, so you could have a look at them to see how to update your bot.

  • Discord bot in rust: you choose the bot’s purpose
    1 project | /r/ProgrammingBuddies | 23 Feb 2022
    I’m looking to make a discord bot in using the great serenity framework. The only problem is I don’t have any ideas for what the bot should do. I have decent experience with rust and have used it for small webassembly applications at work. I’ve also used serenity a bit to make a Wordle leaderboard for a server. If you have a great idea and want to work on something together, or just want to learn rust, I am definitely willing to teach a bit as well. I don’t care if the idea has been done before, I want to learn as well!
