Discord Hooker
==============

[](#discord-hooker)

Discord Hooker is a lighweight Discord webhook client library for PHP (>=7.0)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You just make your project require it via Composer 👀

```
composer require hesmatt/discord-hooker
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

It's pretty simple to use Discord Hooker, let's start with an example that includes just message.

#### Basic usage

[](#basic-usage)

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Client\Webhook;

$webhook = new Webhook('Your webhook _URL_');

$webhook->setMessage('I am a Discord Hooker');

$webhook->send();
```

The result

We can also set the username and image, you can do that via the Webhook settings in Discord as well, but this way we can 'enforce' a different one that's not set there.

Let's change the code a bit

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Client\Webhook;
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Dto\Embed\Embed;

$webhook = new Webhook('Your webhook _URL_');

$webhook->setMessage('I am a Discord Hooker');
$webhook->setUsername('Hooker');
$webhook->setAvatar('The url of your image'); //Note that this always has to be an URL, not a file!

$webhook->send();
```

The result

[![](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b764f6c97344b625f44f8436fdc6554a43605ed7b14ad43c2affd2f32f097575/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f794e51706950352e706e67)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b764f6c97344b625f44f8436fdc6554a43605ed7b14ad43c2affd2f32f097575/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f794e51706950352e706e67)

#### Using embeds

[](#using-embeds)

You are also able to build Embeds and send them, that's probably the thing you'll be using the most, to make your messages look sexy 🌶️

It's not hard to build and add Embed, and the best thing is that you can add as many of them as you want (Or as Discord will let you 😉)

Let's start by building an Embed, an Embed can be something as simple as just a title.

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Dto\Embed\Embed;

$embed = new Embed();

$embed->setTitle('I am a test embed');

//The description is optional and you don't have to set it, but I wanted to mention is as well :)
$embed->setDescription('I am  test embed description');
```

We need to send it now.

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Client\Webhook;
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Dto\Embed\Embed;

$webhook = new Webhook('Your webhook _URL_');
$embed = new Embed(); //Let's assume we have the different parts we've already built.

//You can use all of the settings for $webhook from earlier, to make the code shorter I won't be typing them again from now on.

$webhook->addEmbed($embed);

$webhook->send();
```

The result

[![](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/bc66f0d31668e1b9bb54c1a1b67cb423e0e2440924eb48621f558811361c65c1/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f795655345075772e706e67)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/bc66f0d31668e1b9bb54c1a1b67cb423e0e2440924eb48621f558811361c65c1/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f795655345075772e706e67)

The embeds have many settings, I'll be listing them here without 'The result' part, to not make it any longer than it is necessary.

Adding a footer to embed

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Dto\Embed\Embed;

$embed = new Embed();

$embed->setFooter('The footer text', 'The footer image URL');

//Setting the time part of footer, we can either use
$embed->setTimestamp(new DateTimeImmutable());
//or (To use current time)
$embed->setTimestampNow();
```

Setting a color

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Dto\Embed\Embed;

$embed = new Embed();

$embed->setColor('327424'); //Discord is using an int value of the color.
```

Setting a thumbnail

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Dto\Embed\Embed;

$embed = new Embed();

$embed->setThumbnail('Url of the thumbnail image');
```

Adding an author

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Dto\Embed\Embed;

$embed = new Embed();

$embed->setAuthor('Name of Author','Icon of author','Url of author');
```

Adding a field

```
use HesMatt\DiscordHooker\Dto\Embed\Embed;

$embed = new Embed();

$embed->addField('Text','Value',false); //The last parameter is whether you want the field to be inlined or no.
```

We can of course combine any of these together, note that at least one field is required. So you need either an actual field, or title/description.
