Implement Roadmap Features

[switchupcb]

You can read this feature tracker for progress updates on features listed in the roadmap and this issue tracker.

Features

You can let me know when you are interested in contributing any of these features. I can provide you with more information and create an issue you can use to track the feature.

Task	Assigned
Interactions via Outgoing Webhook
Voice Audio Processing	#72
Cache Manager	@switchupcb

Examples

You can let me know or create a pull request. when you are interested in contributing an example.

Example	Description	Location	Tools	Assigned
Message Components	Demonstrate how to use every message component.	_examples/message/components
Channel	Demonstrate how to use all channel types.	_examples/channel
Permissions	Demonstrate how to use permissions.	_examples/permissions	Comparison, Conversion (String to BitFlag)
Guild	Demonstrate how to use Guild features.	_examples/guild/community
Guild (Community)	Demonstrate how to use Guild features (that require the community setting to be activated).	_examples/guild
Webhook Interaction	Demonstrate how to handle interactions using outgoing webhook's.	_examples/command/webhook
Webhook	Demonstrate how to use a webhook to send a message.	_examples/message/webhook

Guide

Use this guide to create an example. Each example must contain the following deliverables:

• README.md
  • Description (Title, Description, Discord API Reference)
  • Setup (Environment, etc)
  • Usage (Running Example)
  • Output
  • Termination (if applicable)
  • etc
• main.go (WITH COMMENTS)

The README contains a table of examples which you can check out to understand how to implement these requirements.

Tools

The Disgo Tools module contains utility tools that help users (developers) create a Disgo Bot. If you encounter code that meets any of the following criteria while creating an example, consider creating a Disgo Tool.

• Code is boilerplate or time-consuming to create.
• Code maintains a high complexity.
• Code is prone to security issues without tool.
• Code is frequently used (among programs and/or all of the Disgo ecosystem).

Refactor

You can refactor these libraries using Disgo increase Disgo's adoption.

How do you refactor a library with Disgo?

1. Use a find and replace operation with a Discord API Wrapper's library name.
2. Replace address all found locations.
3. Create a pull request.
4. List the fork here.

DiscordGo

The following libraries use DiscordGo to perform operations within the Discord API.

Library	Difficulty	Status
notify	Easy	Denied for Popularity
AutoDelete	Easy	No Longer Supported
matterbridge	Easy
kwatch	Easy
wayback	Easy
discord-stock-ticker	Medium
mautrix	Hard
yagpdb	Elite

Ensure that the bot client's Timeout is set accordingly for each refactor pull request.

@markarranz has been assigned to the Message Components example.

The Voice Connection feature is similar to connecting to the Gateway, but with separate Events and Opcodes. There is also an added UDP Protocol step (which allows for Voice Processing). Voice Processing requires a method of parsing Opus Protocol packets. As a result of its similarity to the Gateway Implementation, I am willing to work on Voice Connections (but not Voice Processing) if required. However, this work will not be started before December 26th.

@TopiSenpai I recognize that you have contributed to DiscordGo with the "Interactions via Outgoing Webhook" feature (bwmarrin/discordgo#1263). Would you be willing to contribute that feature to disgo as well? It is production ready now.

@switchupcb eh no thank you, I have my own lib I work on

[switchupcb]

#26 (comment) provides new information regarding Sharding. In a similar manner to Voice Connections, I will be able to implement this in late December or January.

[switchupcb]

Sharding has been implemented in v1.10.1.

[switchupcb]

@markarranz has been unassigned from the Message Components example.

[switchupcb]

I have added the Message Components example outline and request logic for the Action Row, Button, and Select Menu.

• The request logic for the modal still must be demonstrated.
• Handling message component interactions still must be demonstrated.

[switchupcb]

I have updated the assignments for the next few weeks.
