Calmity Tutorial

This repository contains the source for my Calamity tutorial over at https://www.morrowm.com/posts/2021-04-29-calamity.html

Pre-requisites

This project requires a GHC 9.4.x compiler and the Cabal build tool. See the Haskell downloads page for up-to-date information on how to aquire those.

Important

Make sure to replace the "<your token here>" string in Main.hs with your bot's secret token! You can obtain one through the Discord Developer Portal. Also a reminder: the token is secret, treat it like you'd treat a password!

Building and Running

Run the following command to build the project. Note that the first build will take a while, Calamity has a pretty heavy dependency footprint. Subsequent builds should be significantly faster.

$ cabal build

And to run:

$ cabal run

Note that cabal run will build and run, so you don't need to run cabal build every time.

To open a GHCi session in the context of the project:

$ cabal repl
