Memory optimized, simple, and feature rich Discord API wrapper written in Nim.
</p>
# NimCord
A Discord API wrapper written in Nim. Inspired, and created by the author of a memory optimized Discord Library named DisC++.
## 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
* [Websocket.nim](https://github.com/niv/websocket.nim)
## 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](https://nim-lang.org/)
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:
* If you already have Websocket.nim installed, you need to make sure you have version 0.4.1 installed.
* To compile you must define `ssl` example: `nim compile -d:ssl --run .\examples\basic.nim`
You can view examples in the [examples](examples) directory.
