Sword - A Discord Library for Swift

Requirements

1. macOS, Linux, iOS, watchOS, tvOS (no voice for iOS, watchOS, or tvOS)
2. Swift 4.0
3. libsodium (if on macOS or Linux)

Installing libsodium

macOS

Installing libsodium is really easy on mac as long as you have homebrew. After that is installed, all you have to do is brew install libsodium. That's it!

Linux

This depends on the version of Ubuntu you are running, so I made a nice table here:

Ubuntu 14.04	Ubuntu 16.04
sudo -E add-apt-repository -y ppa:chris-lea/libsodium && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libsodium-dev	sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libsodium-dev

It's easier to copy and paste that command right into shell, and follow any on screen instructions if needed so.

Adding Sword

Swift Package Manager

In order to add Sword as a dependency, you must first create a Swift executable in a designated folder, like so swift package init --type executable. Then in the newly created Package.swift, open it and add Sword as a dependency

// swift-tools-version: 4.0

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "yourswiftexecutablehere",
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/Azoy/Sword", .branch("master"))
    ],
    targets: [
      .target(
        name: "yourswiftexecutablehere",
        dependencies: ["Sword"]
      )
    ]
)

After that, open Sources/main.swift and remove everything and replace it with the example below.

import Sword

let bot = Sword(token: "Your bot token here")

bot.editStatus(to: "online", playing: "with Sword!")

bot.on(.messageCreate) { data in
  let msg = data as! Message

  if msg.content == "!ping" {
    msg.reply(with: "Pong!")
  }
}

bot.connect()

CocoaPods

Adding Sword to your iOS, watchOS, or tvOS application is easier than ever with CocoaPods. All you have to do is add Sword as a dependency to your Podfile, something like this:

target 'yourappnamehere' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'Sword'
end

Then all you have to do is pod install and you're ready to go.

Running the bot (SPM)

Build the libraries with swift build, then type swift run

Running the bot in Xcode (SPM)

To run the bot in Xcode, you first have to compile the libraries with swift build. Then to build the xcode project, type swift package generate-xcodeproj. Finally, type open yourswiftexecutablehere.xcodeproj, look at the top and follow the steps below

Then click the play button!
