Discord IPC CPP

C++ library for interfacing with Discord IPC socket. This is a fork of TheMoonThatRises/discord_ipc_cpp made for the Project Radium (Emerald Launcher v2). This fork adds Windows support on top of the original Unix implementation. Because of the criteria for the parent project, this library is entirely self-contained, and does not include any external libraries.

Installation

Requirements:

• A Unix system or Windows
• CMake >= 3.25
• C++ >= 20

Clone this repository as a submodule under src/:

git submodule add https://github.com/LCE-Hub/DiscordIPC src/discord_ipc_cpp

And add the following into your CMakeLists.txt:

...

add_subdirectory(src/discord_ipc_cpp)

...

target_link_libraries(<EXECUTABLE> PRIVATE discord_ipc_cpp)

Basic Usage

All of the code below will incorporate the following metacode:

#include <discord_ipc_cpp/discord_ipc_client.hpp>
#include <discord_ipc_cpp/ipc_types.hpp>
using discord_ipc_cpp::DiscordIPCClient;
using discord_ipc_cpp::ipc_types::RichPresence;

Create a Discord IPC client and connect to it:

DiscordIPCClient client("<APPLICATION ID>");
// indicates success of connecting to socket
bool ret = client.connect();

Construct a rich presence:

RichPresence presence = {
  .name = "Apple Music",
  .type = RichPresence::at_listening,
  .status_display_type = RichPresence::sdt_details,
  .assets = {
    .large_text = "Kawakiwoameku - EP"
  },
  .details = "Hollowness",
  .state = "Minami"
}

Set the user's rich presence:

client.set_presence(presence);

Clear the user's rich presence:

client.set_empty_presence();

Close the IPC connection:

client.close();
