Cogs

Separation of concerns

• Separate each set of commands into its own Cog

  import discord
    from discord.ext import commands
  
    class Moderation(commands.Cog):
        def __init__(self, bot, config):
            self.bot = bot
            self.config = config.cogs.Moderation
  
        @commands.command()
        async def kick(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, reason=None):
            '''
            Kick a member from this server.
  
            Example: !kick user "toxic"
            '''
            await member.kick(reason=reason)
            await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author} kicked {member}.  Reason: {reason}')
  
        @commands.command()
        async def ban(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, reason=None):
            '''
            Ban a member from this server.
  
            Example: !ban user "toxic"
            '''
            await member.ban(reason=reason)
            await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author} banned {member}.  Reason: {reason}')
  

• Load a list of Cogs on startup

  from operator import methodcaller
  
    import discord
    import lib.cogs
  
    from discord.ext import commands
    from lib.utilities import load_config, load_secrets
  
    config = load_config('config.yml')
    secrets = load_secrets('secrets.yml')
  
    bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=config.prefix)
    for cog in config.cogs.keys():
        cog_class = methodcaller(cog, bot=bot, config=config)(lib.cogs)
        bot.add_cog(cog_class)
  
    bot.run(secrets.token)
  

Separate each set of commands into its own `Cog`
