Aloha
No longer are the days of having to learn a new language or hire a bot developer. Aloha is jam-packed with (almost) every feature you need to create a functioning bot for your server, whether that be for moderation, verification, or information, there’s built-in wrappers for pretty much everything Discord’s API has to offer.
Aloha is a Discord API library written in Luau using Lune. This is an attempt to make a more up-to-date form of Discordia for people who want to make Discord bots in Luau.
Current Features:
- Event connection system that allows you to listen in on Discord events with ease.
local Aloha = require("Aloha")
local Client = Aloha.Lib.Client
Client.On("MESSAGE_CREATE", function(message)
print(message.content) -- Messages are automatically parsed into a Lua table, and abstracted to make accessing the channel, guild, etc, easier!
message:Reply("Hello!")
end)
- A fully fledged type file for all of Discord’s objects, so you don’t have to check the docs!
- Enums for all those pesky numbers and constants from Discord.
- A secure and efficient WebSocket connection that automatically reconnects on failure.
- A built-in Luau evaluator for your convenience, sandboxed and safe for anyone to use!
- A janitor clone for cleaning up your connections.
- Built-in rate limiting.
- Shard management that scales with your bot.
Getting started:
Running Aloha is incredibly simple. Simply call the Run function with your bot token and it will handle the rest.
local Aloha = require("Aloha")
local Enum = Aloha.Lib.Enum
-- DO NOT SHARE YOUR BOT TOKEN WITH ANYONE!
Aloha.Run("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN", Enum.INTENTS.DEFAULT) -- Run takes an optional second argument for intents.
Then run the file with lune run <your_bot_file>.luau and you’re good to go!
