Lua SDK Basics

Overview of the global APIs and fixed type values in the BotMine Lua SDK.

Overview

The BotMine Lua SDK provides safe global APIs so addons can use Discord functionality without direct unsafe runtime access.

Available globals:

  • discord: Discord API wrapper, events, slash commands, messages, components, guild and member actions
  • config: addon configuration
  • logger: logging
  • json: JSON encode and decode
  • scheduler: timers and recurring tasks

First example

lua
discord.onReady(function(event)
  logger.info("Addon started as " .. event.botName)
end)

discord.slashCommand("ping", "Replies with Pong", function(event)
  event.reply("Pong!")
end)
