Yasmin is a Discord API library for PHP. Yasmin connects to the Real Time Gateway and interacts with the REST API.
This library is only for PHP 7.1 (and later) and use in CLI. Only bot accounts are supported by Yasmin.
Before you start using this Library, you need to know how PHP works, you need to know the language and you need to know how Event Loops and Promises work. This is a fundamental requirement before you start. Without this knowledge, you will only suffer.
See https://github.com/elazar/asynchronous-php for resources.
Getting started with Yasmin is pretty straight forward. All you need to do is to use composer to install Yasmin and its dependencies. After that, you can include composer's autoloader into your file and start interacting with Discord and Yasmin!
composer require charlottedunois/yasmin
Important Information: All properties on class instances, which are implemented using a magic method (which means pretty much all properties), are throwing if the property doesn't exist.
This is a fairly trivial example of using Yasmin. You should put all your listener code into try-catch blocks and handle exceptions accordingly.
// Include composer autoloader
$loop = \React\EventLoop\Factory::create();
$client = new \CharlotteDunois\Yasmin\Client(array(), $loop);
$client->on('ready', function () use ($client) {
echo 'Logged in as '.$client->user->tag.' created on '.$client->user->createdAt->format('d.m.Y H:i:s').PHP_EOL;
});
$client->on('message', function ($message) {
echo 'Received Message from '.$message->author->tag.' in '.($message->channel->type === 'text' ? 'channel #'.$message->channel->name : 'DM').' with '.$message->attachments->count().' attachment(s) and '.\count($message->embeds).' embed(s)'.PHP_EOL;
});
$client->login('YOUR_TOKEN');
$loop->run();There is no voice support, as there are many technical reasons against it.
If you think something is wrong, or not working as expected, then try to listen on the error event. This event gets emitted when an error inside the library (or event listener) gets caught. Make sure you also have a rejection handler for all promises, as unhandled promise rejections get swallowed. Feel free to open an issue with as much information as you can get.
