02) Getting Started

Getting Started with JDA

Follow the guide above if you haven't used JDA before. Here are some quick examples to get you started. See the following pages for more information.

Creating a basic Ping-Pong bot

//creating the builder
BreadBotClientBuilder builder = new BreadBotClientBuilder();

//adding the command
builder.addCommand(event -> event.send("pong"), command -> command.setKeys("ping"));

//building the command client
BreadBotClient client = builder.build();

JDA jda = new JDABuilder()
    ...
    .addListener(client)
    .buildAsync();

It is important to add the BreadBotClient to JDA as an EventListener

Let's do it again but different

public class PingPong {
   
    @MainCommand
    public void ping(CommandEvent event) {
       event.send("pong");
    }

}

BreadBotClientBuilder builder = new BreadBotClientBuilder();
builder.addCommand(PingPong.class)
...

One more time another way

public class PingPong {

    @MainCommand
    public String ping() {
        return "pong";
    }

}

BreadBotClientBuilder builder = new BreadBotClientBuilder();
builder.addCommand(PingPong.class)
...
