Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to make your journey with disnake easier, whether you’re an experienced developer just getting into coding Discord bots, or an advanced bot developer who has decided to proceed with disnake as their library of choice.

The concept we will be going over, include:

  • How to get started on working with bots;

  • How to create and organize commands, using cogs/extensions;

  • Working with databases (such as sqlite and mongodb (pymongo));

  • Using the AutoShardedClient class to shard your bot;

  • A plethora of examples with popular topics along with in-depth explanation, and much more!

This guide will showcase the various features and events that our library has, while giving you an idea of how these functions work together as well as how the syntax looks in production.

Pre-Required Knowledge

While we appreciate the process of making Discord bots, creating a bot with disnake requires a decent amount of experience on working with Python and object-oriented programming. You can go forward and make a bot with little to no knowledge of Python or programming, but doing so will only hinder your progress and cause issues in the future.

If you don’t know Python but would like to learn more, here are a few resources to get you started:

An extensive list of these resources can be found on Python’s official website. Once you’re more experienced with Python, you can come back here to get started!
