modular-discord-bot-fw

framework for discord bots that uses contained files for individual feature plugins that can be modified and reloaded on the fly

basic structure:

• client class has implementations for handling opcodes
  • event response is up to the client (!!)
  • this lets us expose events for plugins to hook into, but keeps core API interaction defined in-class
  • any and all bot features should be useable via independent feature plugins
    • these are dynamically found and run, so they can be hotloaded, modified, etc. without disconnecting or restarting the whole bot session

todo board

core:

• basic rate limiting
• initial presence in config
• full REST api implementation
• relative/nonreal escape values for the config's plugin_path

plugins:

• save session config to file
  • re: runtime modification of authenticated users and such

done:

• plugin manager & hook integration
• default plugins so the bot does something out of the box
  • plugin reloading, user (command) authentication, etc. will also probably be written in plugin form
• take config as cli param
• plugins need to be asynchronously run (or something)
• make sure broken sockets are properly addressed with a resume or reconnect
• split the REST API stuff up so they're not in client
