Introduction to Disci
What is Disci?
Disci is a module designed for parsing HTTP webhook data from Discord interactions. It allows you to respond to these interactions using a predefined structure and various utility functions.
Where can it be used?
Disci can be used anywhere that support creation of public facing web-servers. The service do not have to be 24/7, as long as the service offers on-request wake-up capabilities and avoids cold starts (Discord imposes a timeout of 3 seconds), you can confidently deploy and use Disci in that environment.
For example you can easily create a disci app for free using services such as,
- replit - Automatically generates a public URL when you initiate a web server.
- cloudflare workers - By default includes a public facing url
TIP
These platforms are not necessarily recommendations but serve as illustrative examples for getting started with Disci. If possible please use paid platforms / plans for better reliability
