About

Hata is an async Discord API wrapper written in Python named after Hata no Kokoro.

Why hata?

• Multiple simultaneous clients

  Hata can run multiple clients from the same instance without sacrificing performance, all while being easy to code.

• Performant

  Fast concurrent code based on async/await paradigm with cache control, PyPy support and much more!

• Newest API features

  Whatever Discord decides to release/update/break Hata will support it natively in no time!

• 100% Python

  Built in Python! Easy to code, easy to read, easy to maintain.

Why not hata?

• Small community

  Hata has a small but, slowly growing community. The chance of getting help outside of our cosy discord server equals to zero.

Documentation

The library reference is available here & the tutorials are available here.

Usage

The following example answers on ping message.

from hata import Client

Nue = Client('TOKEN')

@Nue.events
async def ready(client):
    print(f'{client:f} logged in.')

@Nue.events
async def message_create(client, message):
    if message.author.is_bot:
        return

    if message.content == 'ping':
        await client.message_create(message.channel, 'pong')

Nue.start()

An improved example using the commands extension to handle common use cases.

from hata import Client

Saki = Client('TOKEN', extensions='commands', prefix='s!')

@Saki.events
async def ready(client):
    print(f'{client:f} logged in.')

@Saki.commands
async def ping(client, message):
    return 'pong'

Saki.start()

Or use slash commands!

from hata import Client, Guild

GUILD = Guild.precreate(guild_id)

Seija = Client('TOKEN', extensions='slash')

@Seija.events
async def ready(client):
    print(f'{client:f} logged in.')

@Seija.interactions(guild=GUILD)
async def ping():
    """ping-pong"""
    return 'pong'

Seija.start()

Note: You need to restart your client, or the slash command wont show up. If there are more than 50 integrations (bots) in a guild, some of the (integrations) bots wont be able to use slash commands. This is currently a Discord limitation.

If you are wondering, how to start more clients, just put the two code snippet into the same file.

Hata leaves the main thread free, client.start() blocks it only till the client logs in (or fails it), although you can still use the start_clients function, what as it says, starts up all the non-running clients parallelly, so go ahead and start python with -i option, then interact with the clients from your interactive console in runtime.

Installation

To install Hata simply do

# Linux/OS X
$ python3 -m pip install hata

# Windows
$ python -m pip install hata

# Voice Support

And you are good to go! Hata has native pypy support as well if you need some more speed!
