Usage

There are some examples in the examples folder.

Initialising a Shard:

when isMainModule:
    import asyncdispatch, discordnim, ospaths

    proc messageCreate(s: Shard, m: MessageCreate) =
        if s.cache.me.id == m.author.id: return
        if m.content == "ping":
            asyncCheck s.channelMessageSend(m.channel_id, "pong")

    let d = newShard("Bot " & getEnv("token")) // get token in environment variables

    proc endSession() {.noconv.} =
        waitFor d.disconnect()

    setControlCHook(endSession)
    d.compress = true
    let removeProc = d.addHandler(EventType.message_create, messageCreate)
    waitFor d.startSession()
    removeProc()

All programs have to be compiled with the -d:ssl flag.

Example :

nimble build -d:ssl

OR

nim compile -d:ssl --run youfile.nim

When compression is enabled you need a zlib1.dll present. Somewhere. I don't know where it should be placed.
