DiscordWebhook

Available as a NuGet package both on GitHub and nuget.org

Extremely simple and lightweight library for hooking up a Discord webhook meant to be used with ASP.NET Core or the Generic Host.

Built-in support for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging's ILogger<T> (does not work without it, injected via DI) and embeds via TraceLd.DiscordWebhook.Models.Embed.

Usage example

The following example will use ASP.NET Core but the setup is almost identical with the Generic Host.

1. Add WebhookSettings as a singleton. Where it comes from is up to you - it can be config files, environment variables etc. In this simple example we will use appsettings.json. (It is not the most secure option as the credentials are stored in plaintext, but it's very simple).

• Add the following section to appsettings.json and fill it in with your credentials:

"WebhookSettings": {
    "Id": 0000000,
    "Token": "token"
}

• Add the following code to the ConfigureServices method in Startup.cs:

services.Configure<WebhookSettings>(Configuration.GetSection(nameof(WebhookSettings)));
services.AddSingleton(provider => provider.GetRequiredService<IOptions<WebhookSettings>>().Value);

2. Add IWebhookService:

• Add the following code to Startup.cs below the previously added code:

services.AddHttpClient<IWebhookService, WebhookService>();

3. Now you can use the webhook service in your own services, for example:

• Create the service:

public interface IHelloService
{
    Task SendHelloAsync();
}

public class HelloService : IHelloService
{
    private readonly ILogger<HelloService> _logger;
    private readonly IWebhookService _webhookService;

    public HelloService(ILogger<HelloService> logger, IWebhookService webhookService)
    {
        _logger = logger;
        _webhookService = webhookService;
    }

    public async Task SendHelloAsync()
    {
        await _webhookService.ExecuteWebhookAsync("Hello from C#");
    }
}

• Add the service in Startup.cs (below the previous code):

services.AddScoped<IHelloService, HelloService>();
