Bot-Template-for-DiscordCoreAPI

A template for a bot, written in C++ using DiscordCoreAPI.

Build Instructions - With VCPKG

---

1. Make sure you've run vcpkg integrate install.
2. Set the VCPKG_ROOT_DIR in CMakeLists.txt to the root directory of your VCPKG installation, and make sure you've installed DiscordCoreAPI with it - then start up a project in your IDE, set the C++ standard to 20 or newer, and #include <discordcoreapi/Index.hpp>. Add main.cpp to it.
3. Run in a terminal from within the same folder as the top-level CMakeLists.txt, cmake -S . --preset Windows_OR_Linux_Debug_OR_Release.
4. Then run cmake --build --preset Windows_OR_Linux_Debug_OR_Release.
5. Run within the same terminal and folder cmake --install ./Build/Debug_OR_Release. The default installation paths are: Windows = "ROOT_DRIVE:/Users/USERNAME/CMake/Bot-Template-For-DiscordCoreAPI", Linux = "/home/USERNAME/CMake/Bot-Template-For-DiscordCoreAPI", although you can change this by setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in CMakeLists.txt.

Build Instructions - Without VCPKG

1. Build and install the dependencies.
2. Build and install the DiscordCoreAPI library with CMAKE.
3. Set, in CMakeLists.txt, the <DEPENDENCY>_INCLUDE_DIR, <DEPENDENCY>_DEBUG_ROOT and <DEPENDENCY>_RELEASE_ROOT paths to wherever each of the respective dependencies are located - setting the <DEPENDENCY>_DEBUG_ROOT folder to wherever the debug version of the .lib file is, the <DEPENDENCY>_RELEASE_ROOT folder to wherever the release version of the .lib file for the library is, and the <DEPENDENCY>_INCLUDE_DIR to whichever directory contains the public headers for the library.
4. Set, in CMakeLists.txt, the CMAKE_CONFIG_FILE_DIR to whichever directory contains the DiscordCoreAPIConfig.cmake file that was created by the installation phase of building the library.
5. Run in a terminal from within the same folder as the top-level CMakeLists.txt, cmake -S . --preset Windows_OR_Linux_Debug_OR_Release.
6. Then run cmake --build --preset Windows_OR_Linux_Debug_OR_Release.
7. Run within the same terminal and folder cmake --install ./Build/Debug_OR_Release. The default installation paths are: Windows = "ROOT_DRIVE:/Users/USERNAME/CMake/Bot-Template-For-DiscordCoreAPI", Linux = "/home/USERNAME/CMake/Bot-Template-For-DiscordCoreAPI", although you can change this by setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in CMakeLists.txt.
