Discordia is an asynchronous Discord API library written in Lua for the Luvit runtime. Here, you can find tutorials and API references for the library. You can find more general information about Discordia in the repository's readme and more general information about Luvit at https://luvit.io/.

Reading the documentation here should answer most of your questions. If you are still having trouble, visit our Discord channel.

Note: With the recent release of Discordia 2.0, this documentation is being mostly re-written. Please have patience while we continue to fix, update, and expand what is provided here.
