Under construction

A Discord bot with useful utilities for the dart_community Discord server.

Features

/ping

The ping command checks the bot is online and displays some latency metrics.

/show-lint

The show-lint command displays information about a given linter rule from https://dart.dev/tools/linter-rules.

Dartdoc search

dash_bot will parse messages for references to API elements or packages from https://pub.dev and provide a link to that element.

Searches can be embedded in any text message and their syntax is as follows:

• ![Name] or ![package/Name]: Return the documentation for Name in Flutter's or package's API documentation.
• ?[Name] or ?[package/Name]: Search for Name in Flutter's or package's API documentation.
• $[name]: Return the pub.dev page for the package name.
• &[name]: Search pub.dev for name.

Running dash_bot

If you can use dart:mirrors (i.e during development), simply set the BOT_TOKEN environment variable to your bot's token and run bin/dash_bot.dart. You can also optionally set the BOT_PREFIX environment variable to enable running the bot's command using messages like !ping instead of Discord's slash commands.

To create an executable, run dart run nyxx_commands:compile -o bin/dash_bot.g.dart --no-compile bin/dash_bot.dart. This will create a file at bin/dash_bot.g.dart that contains a main() function and should be used as the entrypoint when compiling dash_bot using dart compile ....
