# New Repository Template # Naomi's Discord Rich Presence
This template contains all of our basic files for a new GitHub repository. There is also a handy workflow that will create an issue on a new repository made from this template, with a checklist for the steps we usually take in setting up a new repository. This is a linux binary which allows you to display a custom rich presence on Discord.
If you're starting a Node.JS project with TypeScript, we have a [specific template](https://github.com/naomi-lgbt/nodejs-typescript-template) for that purpose. ## Prerequisites
## Readme You will need a Discord application. You can set one up in their [Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications). Note that the name of your application will be exposed in your status while you're running this app. For example, I named my app "on her computer":
Delete all of the above text (including this line), and uncomment the below text to use our standard readme template. ![Naomi's discord account in the member list, showing "playing on her computer" as the status](https://cdn.nhcarrigan.com/projects/drpc/status.png)
<!-- # Project Name You will also need to upload at least one asset for the application's rich presence. You can do so by selecting `Rich Presence -> Art Assets` in the developer portal for your application, and uploading Rich Presence Assets:
Project Description ![A Discord developer portal interface showing the Rich Presence Art Assets section. The page displays settings for configuring game integration with Discord, including a cover image upload area and an IRL invite image example. The main content shows two existing assets labeled "primary" and "secondary" with small thumbnail icons. There's an "Add Image(s)" button with specifications for .png, .jpg, or .jpeg files at 1024x1024 recommended size. A warning message about asset key caching is displayed in a gold-colored box. The left sidebar contains various navigation options including General Information, Installation, OAuth2, Bot, and other development tools. The interface is predominantly dark-themed with white and blue text.](https://cdn.nhcarrigan.com/projects/drpc/assets.png)
## Live Version ## Installation
This page is currently deployed. [View the live website.] There are two binaries to install. **The primary binary is `naomis-drpc` and is REQUIRED**. The `naomis-drpc-setup` is an OPTIONAL binary which contains the configuration wizard.
Download the binaries you would like, then use `chmod +x /path/to/download` to make them executable. Copy them to `/usr/bin` to make them available in your system.
## Configuration
The configuration file is stored in and loaded from `$HOME/.config/naomis-drpc/config.json`. There are two ways you can modify your config:
### Setup Wizard
If you have installed `naomis-drpc-setup`, you can run it to configure your presence via our interactive wizard:
```
Welcome to the Discord Rich Presence Setup Wizard!
Before you get started, you need to create a Discord application on their developer portal. https://discord.dev
Enter your Discord application ID. You can obtain this from the Discord Developer Portal:1341504343693721720
Enter the first line of text you'd like to show in your presence:She's probably working.
Enter the second line of text you'd like to show in your presence:Who knows? Not us.
The next section sets up the images to display in your presence. You can upload these images to your application under Rich Presence -> Art Assets.
Enter the DISCORD name of the image you uploaded to display as the large image:primary
Enter the text to display when hovering over the large image:NHCarrigan
Enter the DISCORD name of the image you uploaded to display as the small image:secondary
Enter the text to display when hovering over the small image:NaomiLGBT
You can optionally display buttons that other users can click on in your presence.
Do you want to display buttons in your presence? (y/N) y
Enter the text to display on the first button:Join our community!
Enter the URL to open when the first button is clicked:https://chat.nhcarrigan.com
Enter the text to display on the second button:Donate? 🥺
Enter the URL to open when the second button is clicked:https://docs.nhcarrigan.com/about/donate/
Config file written successfully! You can now run naomis-drpc to start your Discord Rich Presence.
```
### Manual Editing
Advanced users may choose to edit the `config.json` file manually. **CAUTION:** Doing so requires knowledge of JSON formatting. If you break the formatting, the application will error.
### Configuration Keys
- `appId`: This is the application ID for the app you would like to connect to.
- `details`: This is the first line of text that appears within your presence.
- `state`: This is the second line of text that appears within your presence.
- `largeImageKey`: The name of the image uploaded to your Discord app that you would like shown as the larger presence image.
- `largeImageText`: The text displayed when a user hovers over the large image.
- `smallImageKey`: The name of the image uploaded to your Discord app that you would like shown as the smaller presence image.
- `smallImageText`: The text displayed when a user hovers over the small image.
- `buttonOneLabel`: The text for the first button.
- `buttonOneUrl`: The link that should open when a user clicks the first button.
- `buttonTwoLabel`: The text for the second button.
- `buttonTwoUrl`: The link that should open when a user clicks the second button.
**Note that buttons are optional, and you can omit those properties if you prefer not to have buttons**.
Many of these keys will correspond to this layout:
![A diagram showing the layout of a Discord-style interface with labeled elements. The image includes annotations pointing to different components. "Large Image" points to the main display area. "Small Image" indicates a smaller icon or avatar area. "Button 1" labels a button that says "Join our community!". "Button 2" labels a button showing "Donate? 🤔". "App name" points to the header area. "Details" indicates descriptive text reading "She's hard at work!". "State" points to status text showing "Or is she slacking off...?" The interface shows a "Playing" status with a timestamp of 4:36. The layout uses a dark theme with teal/blue accent colors.](https://cdn.nhcarrigan.com/projects/drpc/presence.png)
### Example
Here is an example of a proper configuration object:
```json
{
"appId": "1341504343693721720",
"details": "She's hard at work!",
"state": "Or is she slacking off...?",
"largeImageKey": "primary",
"largeImageText": "NHCarrigan",
"smallImageKey": "secondary",
"smallImageText": "NaomiLGBT",
"buttonOneLabel": "Join our community!",
"buttonOneUrl": "https://chat.nhcarrigan.com",
"buttonTwoLabel": "Donate? 🥺",
"buttonTwoUrl": "https://docs.nhcarrigan.com/about/donate/"
}
