@jennifer/discord

Posts messages to a Discord channel through a webhook from a Jennifer program, from plain text to embeds with fields, footer and author. Replaces the discord module of Jennifer's standard library (shipped since 0.18.0, deprecated from 0.26.0, removed in 0.28.0); the API is unchanged, only the import differs.

Documentation

Install

jvc add @jennifer/discord

This vendors the deck to vendor/jennifer/discord/. Without jvc, unpack the src/ subtree of a release archive (jennifer-discord-<version>.tar.gz) there.

Usage

import "@jennifer/discord/" as discord;
import "http.j" as http;

def r as http.Response init discord.send(os.getEnv("DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL"), "deploy finished");
io.printf("%d\n", $r.status);   # 204; a deleted webhook is 404, not an error

examples/send.j builds a message with an embed, prints its payload and posts it when DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL is set.

Requirements

Jennifer 0.25.0 or newer and network access to Discord. Sending needs the default jennifer binary; the stock jennifer-tiny has no network driver.
