Assembly

Represents a generic channel.

public interface IChannel : ISnowflakeEntity, IEntity<ulong>

Inherited Members

IEntity<ulong>.Id

Extension Methods

ChannelExtensions.GetChannelType(IChannel)

Properties

Name

Gets the name of this channel.

string Name { get; }

Property Value

string

A string containing the name of this channel.

Methods

GetUserAsync(ulong, CacheMode, RequestOptions)

Gets a user in this channel.

Task<IUser> GetUserAsync(ulong id, CacheMode mode = CacheMode.AllowDownload, RequestOptions options = null)

Parameters

id ulong

The snowflake identifier of the user (e.g. 168693960628371456).

mode CacheMode

The CacheMode that determines whether the object should be fetched from cache.

options RequestOptions

The options to be used when sending the request.

Returns

Task<IUser>

A task that represents the asynchronous get operation. The task result contains a user object that represents the found user; null if none is found.

GetUsersAsync(CacheMode, RequestOptions)

Gets a collection of users that are able to view the channel or are currently in this channel.

IAsyncEnumerable<IReadOnlyCollection<IUser>> GetUsersAsync(CacheMode mode = CacheMode.AllowDownload, RequestOptions options = null)

Parameters

mode CacheMode

The CacheMode that determines whether the object should be fetched from cache.

options RequestOptions

The options to be used when sending the request.

Returns

IAsyncEnumerable<IReadOnlyCollection<IUser>>

Paged collection of users.

Remarks

important

The returned collection is an asynchronous enumerable object; one must call FlattenAsync<T>(IAsyncEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>>) to access the individual messages as a collection.

This method will attempt to fetch all users that is able to view this channel or is currently in this channel. The library will attempt to split up the requests according to and MaxUsersPerBatch. In other words, if there are 3000 users, and the MaxUsersPerBatch constant is 1000, the request will be split into 3 individual requests; thus returning 53individual asynchronous responses, hence the need of flattening.
