Disnake support for IPC routes/ about disnake HOT 7 CLOSED

May I know what the use of IPC is here? I'm pretty sure that since your bot object is a singleton you can easily pass it into your app. If you use a decent web framework it should be able to make it easy to access that object from anywhere and in turn completely eliminate the need for IPC.

Thanks for the quick reply!

The use, as stated inside the request is to interact with a webserver. While could do that, that wouldn't be the ideal situation since you need to authenticate it user by user and not use the bot object.

This would not only ratelimit the bot very quick since if it is a big bot user could make a lot of requests but it would also only be able to be used to show data, rather than it being a dashboard to interact with.

dont know if this works but there is a disnake ext ipc from Hunter

https://github.com/Disnake-Extensions/disnake-ext-ipc

If we would add it to Disnake it would be more encouraged to maintain and it would also be better documented. Altough, i know Hunter but if we implement that it would still need to be serverely debugged.

As far as I know, all the library you linked does is abstract the underlying WebSockets. Doesn't seem like something we should have builtin. I have no problem supporting some sort of serialization using the pre-existing to_dict methods but just simple IPC is rarely needed. Since the disnake community has created extensions I don't think there's any use in putting it in the library itself.

Okay, well it was just a request but thanks for giving it a thought.

@Pandabweer For my IPC I've implemented my own with a message broker. I like the idea on theory of IPC, but even discord-ext-ipc was half baked at best. I don't think the lib should take care of IPC necessarily.
