A simple python `Discord <https://discordapp.com/>`_ bot to send messages to discord channel via command line.

It allows markdown formatted messages and attaching files.

It registers the following commands:

* ``dbot-run`` - main CLI entry-point
* ``dbot-message`` - (short-hand) to send a message, or even pipe `-` message contents
* ``dbot-file`` - (short-hand) to send a file with an message

Requirements
------------

* `discord.py <https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py>`_


Installation
------------

.. code-block:: bash

   python3 -m pip install discord-notifier-bot

Optionally, install it locally with ``--user``.

Configuration
-------------

Configuration is done by placing a .dbot.conf file in one of the following directories:

   * ``$HOME/.dbot.conf``
   * ``$HOME/dbot.conf``
   * ``./.dbot.conf``
   * ``./dbot.conf``
   * ``/etc/dbot.conf``

Alternatively a configuration file can be provided via ``-c``/``--config`` CLI options.

The configuration file should be a standard INI file. A template can be found in the ``templates`` folder. All configurations are placed under the ``discord-bot`` section.

Example:

.. code-block:: ini

   [discord-bot]
   # the bot token (used for login)
   token = abc
   # the numeric id of a channel, can be found when activating the developer options in appearances
   channel = 123

Usage
-----

``dbot-message`` and ``dbot-file`` are less complex versions of ``dbot-run``.

Print help and available options:

.. code-block:: bash

   dbot-run -h

Sending messages:

.. code-block:: bash

   # send a simple message
   dbot-run message "Test message"
   # or shorter:
   dbot-message "Test **message**"

   # pipe output
   echo "Test" | dbot-emessage -

   # wrap it inside a code-block ```
   # optionally with a type
   cat `which dbot-message` | dbot-message - --type
   cat `which dbot-message` | dbot-message - --type python

Sending a file:

.. code-block:: bash

   dbot-file README.rst "Your message to desribe the attached file"
   # or with no visible message:
   dbot-file README.rst ""

   # optionally also like this:
   dbot-run file -f README.rst "Message ..."

You are always able to specify the configuration file like this:

.. code-block:: bash

   dbot-run -c /path/to/dbot.conf [...]
   dbot-{message,file} -c /path/to/dbot.conf [...]

**Only with** ``dbot-run``: To display debugging information (api calls, log messages etc.):

.. code-block:: bash

   dbot-run -v [...]

You may also run the bot with the python module notation. But it will only run the same entry-point like ``dbot-run``.

.. code-block:: bash

   python -m discord_notifier_bot [...]
