Blocks

How to use blocks

Blocks are used to describe what needs to be done when an event is triggered. Some can get an information, others can do something in your Discord server.

Values blocks

These blocks are used to get an information from your Discord server, like "what's the username of this user ?" or "Does this user has this role ?". You can use the result of these blocks in others blocks.

Here is an example :

A simple action flow that show how to use some value blocks.

When a message is sent, we check if the user has the Manage server permission. The "Does user has permission" block return a Boolean to the "If" block. If the user has the permission, we continue, else, we can stop here since there isn't any "else" statement.

Values blocks types

When using values blocks with others blocks, you must be careful of the type returned by the value block, and the type needed by the used input. Some values blocks will return an User, some return a TextChannel, ...
