Stability

The public API of DisGo is mostly stable at this point in time. Smaller breaking changes can happen before the v1 is released.

After v1 is released breaking changes may only happen if the Discord API requires them. They tend to break their released API versions now and then. In general for every new Discord API version the major version of DisGo should be increased and with that breaking changes between non-major versions should be held to a minimum.

Building a DisGo Instance

Build a bot client to interact with the Discord API

import (
	"context"
	"os"
	"os/signal"
	"syscall"

	"github.com/disgoorg/disgo"
	"github.com/disgoorg/disgo/bot"
	"github.com/disgoorg/disgo/events"
	"github.com/disgoorg/disgo/gateway"
)

func main() {
	client, err := disgo.New("token",
		// set gateway options
		bot.WithGatewayConfigOpts(
			// set enabled intents
			gateway.WithIntents(
				gateway.IntentGuilds,
				gateway.IntentGuildMessages,
				gateway.IntentDirectMessages,
			),
		),
		// add event listeners
		bot.WithEventListenerFunc(func(e *events.MessageCreate) {
			// event code here
		}),
	)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// connect to the gateway
	if err = client.OpenGateway(context.TODO()); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	s := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
	signal.Notify(s, syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM)
	<-s
}
