alianator 4.0.1

A Discord permission name resolver for Pycord

alianator

alianator is a Discord permission name resolver for Pycord. It takes Discord's API permission flags (e.g. manage_guild) and resolves them to their user-facing aliases (e.g. Manage Server).

Installation

$ pip install alianator

Pycord is not included as a dependency of alianator, but nonetheless must be installed for it to work. If alianator is unable to import the discord namespace, it will raise an ImportError.

Usage

alianator can resolve aliases from discord.Permissions objects, integers, strings, tuples, lists of strings, and lists of tuples.

import alianator

alianator.resolve(arg, mode=mode)

The optional mode flag can be used to specify which permissions should be resolved. If mode is True, only granted permissions will be resolved; if mode is False, only denied permissions will be resolved; if mode is None, all permissions will be resolved. If mode is not explicitly specified, it will default to True.

import alianator
import discord

# Resolving from a discord.Permissions object
perms = discord.Permissions.general()
aliases = alianator.resolve(perms)
print(aliases)
# ['Manage Channels', 'Manage Server', 'View Audit Log', 'Read Messages', 'View Server Insights', 'Manage Roles', 'Manage Webhooks', 'Manage Emojis and Stickers']


# Resolving from an integer
perms = 3072
aliases = alianator.resolve(perms)
print(aliases)
# ['View Channel', 'Send Messages and Create Posts']


# Resolving from a string
perms = "send_tts_messages"
aliases = alianator.resolve(perms)
print(aliases)
# ['Send Text-To-Speech Messages']


# Resolving from a tuple
perms = ("moderate_members", True)
aliases = alianator.resolve(perms)
print(aliases)
# ['Timeout Members']


# Resolving from a list of strings
perms = ["manage_guild", "manage_emojis"]
aliases = alianator.resolve(perms)
print(aliases)
# ['Manage Server', 'Manage Emojis and Stickers']


# Resolving from a list of tuples
perms = [("use_slash_commands", True), ("use_voice_activation", True)]
aliases = alianator.resolve(perms)
print(aliases)
# ['Use Application Commands', 'Use Voice Activity']

That's about all there is to it. alianator does one thing and does it well.
