1. hasura CLI tool
2. A Discord server

$ hasura quickstart rishi/discord-golang-bot

2. Click on the down arrow next to your server name and click on Server Settings.

3. Select the Webhooks section from the left pannel. Create a webhook.

4. Copy the Webhook URL and add it to project secrets since it contains a secret token that you do not want to explicitly mention in the code.

$ hasura secret update discord.webhook <webhook_url>

1. Create an application.

2. Now, in your application home page, scroll down to Bots and create a bot.

3. Make the bot public.

4. Make sure that the Require OAuth2 Code Grant checkbox is not checked.

5. Add the bot to your server by clicking on Generate OAuth URL and navigating to the generated URL from the browser.

6. Copy the bot token and add it to the project secrets.

$ hasura secret update discord.bot.token <bot_token>

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "First commit"
$ git push hasura master

Type !joke in the server chat and see the magic :)

This project can also be used as a starter for building more complex Discord bots. The source code for the bot lies in the microservices/bot/app/src/ directory.

You might also want to look at the Dockerfile and the k8s.yaml at microservices/bot/ if you are to add some extra packages or environment variables.

1. Special thanks to "bwmarrin" for the discord bindings for golang.
2. Built on top of Hasura boilerplate hello-golang-raw.
