Question 1

Is discord.v still maintained?

Accepted Answer

No, the original author discontinued support in 2021. However, a fork exists at DarpHome/discord.v that may be more active. For ongoing projects, consider using the fork or exploring alternatives in other languages.

Question 2

How to install discord.v on Windows?

Accepted Answer

Installation on Windows is only possible via WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or by manually installing openssl headers, as stated in the README. This makes native Windows development cumbersome and less straightforward.

Question 3

discord.v vs Discord.js for V projects?

Accepted Answer

discord.v is tailored for V, but compared to Discord.js (a JavaScript framework), it lacks maturity, documentation, and community support. If you're committed to V, the fork at DarpHome/discord.v might be a better starting point.

Question 4

How to handle slash commands with discord.v?

Accepted Answer

The library includes support for creating and handling slash commands, but the TODO list indicates it's incomplete. You can use the existing event system, but full implementation may require custom work or checking the fork for updates.

Question 5

What are the alternatives to discord.v for V?

Accepted Answer

Alternatives are limited; the primary option is the fork DarpHome/discord.v. Otherwise, developers might need to use frameworks in other languages like Python or JavaScript, or contribute to improving the V ecosystem.

Question 6

Can discord.v send files to Discord?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports multipart/form-data for file uploads via Discord's REST API, as mentioned in the key features. This allows bots to send attachments, though REST coverage for other features may be incomplete.
