Going further

So, now you're ready to do your first real Discord bot using Krobot ! Don't forget to look at the reference documentation if you forgot something, and keep the JDA documentation with you also.

Publishing your bot

To publish your bot we will create a distribution zip using Gradle. First you need to add the 'application' gradle plugin and define your main class :

apply plugin: 'application'

mainClassName = 'your.bot.MyBot'

Now you can either launch gradle distZip to create a zip (in build/distributions/yourbot-version.zip) containing your bot (to launch it, unzip it and then launch bin/yourbot), or launch the gradle run task to directly run it.

You can launch it on a VPS or anything, even a PAAS. Like Heroku or Zeit Now.

JDA Events

You'll probably need to use JDA Events directly sometime, so here is how you register one :

@SubscribeEvent // net.dv8tion.jda.core.hooks.SubscribeEvent
public void yourEvent(ExampleEvent event) // The method name can be anything
{
    // ...
}

See here for the list of the events.

The event you choose depends on the class of the event parameter. Don't forget to register the class where the function is to JDA :

@Inject
private JDA jda;

...

jda.addEventListener(this);

APIs used by Krobot

Krobot uses a lot of libraries, here is a simple list with their docs :
