learn to code discord bots with Jacob Lee from Autocode | AATT #45
What. whats up jacob. hiya jacob are you able to listen me hiya yeah i'm able to. listen you uh. there we move o.k. how are you. welcome to automate all the pieces for. the second one time. yeah genuinely excited to be lower back um thank you. for having me on again yeah. so we had a group of technical issues i. imagine we are gonna have a few technical. issues throughout. so in the chat allow me know uh if it's. your first time here. usually we are you recognize we're fantastic. at this yet at present is a difficult day. yet we are gonna work through it so jacob. for folks who are perhaps. not so familiar with autocode perhaps we. start there. give a short introduction into yourself. and iinto autocode. yeah absolutely so my name is jacob i'm. the cofounder of autocode. we're a nodejsbased platform for. constructing every thing from discord box to. others for web hooks um we're extremely good for.
Integrating multiplayer men collectively. and yeah everybody almost found it more. about what we're doing amazing. yeah so uh last time you have been on uh we. constructed a slack bot. yet slack is quite old style correct. so uh now everyone's on to discord. so at present uh uh uh uh we. are gonna build a kind of assist bot in. um in discord correct so comparable to what. we did. in slack we're certainly going to do it in. discord. uh jacob's audio is a little low allow me. see what i'm able to do. yeah sorry approximately that folk it has been a. technical problem this morning. uh let's try that again jacob are you able to. communicate. trying out one three is thiis better. humans how's that. permit me understand so we are going to see if that is a. little larger so sorry for the technical. concerns my computer simply totally. crashed on me this morning. but i will be doing a lot of the speaking.
And that's okay far better. awesome i dude i'm. i thanks all to your endurance really. going for walks a circulate. is every week a brand new trouble sort of. like coding. it appears like repeatedly so um you know. what my information of autocode is. is that like autocode simply facilitates you. summary. all the hard annoying components of writing. code just so you can genuinely write. the sort of vital side to that end. we're actually simply going to write down a. discord bot in other forty five minutes are you able to. maybe simply introduce what's your. philosophy round auto. code before we jump into the particular. build here. certainly yeah in fact you sums up. pretty well there. specially for discord um we handle. all the kind of authentication. event routing so um within the bible construct. we will in the end. established two lessen commands um and we. actually have a nice interface for that.
Um typically you ought to check in them. by means of like discord's api. uh so we in actual fact simplify that whole. process and like just certainly focus on. the code. and the application good judgment that's. certainly what things magnificent. um and we also yeah cross ahead good we are going to. get into more as. yeah no i believe you recognize it is. interesting because i remember when you. came on i. remember tying like we there's no way we. built a slack bot in forty five minutes and and. we did it took us maybe 50 55 minutes. but that's okay. right uh um and so what i you recognize what. individually what always brings me to auto. code is this like you standardize the. api so i'm able to. query any style of api in a common way. and also type of summary the connecting. to one-of-a-kind applications. right so you have a direct connection to. air desk so i don't need to form of.
Create. all of that functionality so at present what. we're going to do is actually you've a. ui. that is particular to discord to build a. discord bot. after which we'll jump into. that ui we'll build it is going. to create some code for us. that then goes to reply question
