NimCord

Memory optimized, simple, and feature rich Discord API wrapper written in Nim.

NimCord

A Discord API wrapper written in Nim. Inspired, and created by the author of a memory optimized Discord Library named DisC++.

Note:

Library is discontinued. Due to Discord's lack of communication and out-of-touch attitude towards library developers, this library is no longer being maintained. Recommended alternative is Dimscord.

State

NimCord is currently in a testing state. If you want to use it, you can but you may encounter errors. If you do encounter errors, create a GitHub issue or join the Discord server.

Dependencies

Documenation

You can generate documenation by running generate_docs.bat/sh (depending on your system). Documentation is outputted to the docs directory.

What makes NimCord different?

  • Low memory usage.
  • Even though its memory optimized, it's still easy to use without loosing any features.
  • If an member, or channel, is somehow not in cache, it will request the object from the REST api and update the cache to ensure that your bot doesn't crash.
  • Other libraries don't have a command handler built in and also doesn't have a event handler that supports multiple listeners.

How to install:

  1. Install Nim
  2. Install NimCord.
    • NimCord is not yet available on the official Nimble package repository. To install it, you need to clone this repo and in the project root, run: nimble install

Note:

  • To compile you must define ssl example: nim compile -d:ssl --run .\examples\basic.nim
