Struct Typing

pub struct Typing(/* private fields */);

A struct to start typing in a Channel for an indefinite period of time.

It indicates that the current user is currently typing in the channel.

Typing is started by using the Typing::start method and stopped by using the Typing::stop method. Note that on some clients, typing may persist for a few seconds after Typing::stop is called. Typing is also stopped when the struct is dropped.

If a message is sent while typing is triggered, the user will stop typing for a brief period of time and then resume again until either Typing::stop is called or the struct is dropped.

This should rarely be used for bots, although it is a good indicator that a long-running command is still being processed.

Examples

let channel_id = ChannelId::new(7);
// Initiate typing (assuming `http` is bound)
let typing = Typing::start(Arc::new(http), channel_id);

// Run some long-running process
long_process();

// Stop typing
typing.stop();

Implementations

impl Typing

pub fn start(http: Arc<Http>, channel_id: ChannelId) -> Self

Starts typing in the specified Channel for an indefinite period of time.

Returns Typing. To stop typing, you must call the Typing::stop method on the returned Typing object or wait for it to be dropped. Note that on some clients, typing may persist for a few seconds after stopped.

Errors

Returns an Error::Http if there is an error.

pub fn stop(self) -> bool

Stops typing in Channel.

This should be used to stop typing after it is started using Typing::start. Typing may persist for a few seconds on some clients after this is called. Returns false if typing has already stopped.
