MTA Discord Webhook Library

This project was created in 2020 as a utility library for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas (MTA:SA) scripting using Lua.

At the time, integrating Discord webhooks required manually crafting HTTP requests to the Discord API, which was not as straightforward or well-documented as it is today. This library aimed to abstract that complexity and provide a clean, simple syntax for developers.

It supported both OOP and non-OOP syntax and was my first experience creating a library, helping me understand that programming is not magic, but just code designed to make creating more code easier.

OOP Example:

local myWebhook = Webhook.new("Webhook_url", "MYH")
myWebhook:setAvatar(
    "<image_url>"
)
myWebhook:setContent("My Webhook Library Example.")
local myWHEmbed = myWebhook:setEmbed("My Library's Embed")
myWHEmbed:setColor("15281718")
myWHEmbed:setDescription("Some Text")
myWHEmbed:setField("Some Field", "Text", false)
myWHEmbed:setField("Some Field", "Text", true)
myWHEmbed:setField("Some Field", "Text", true)
myWHEmbed:setImage(
    "<image_url>"
)
myWebhook:Send(false)

Non-OOP Example:

local myWebhook = Webhook("Webhook_url", "MYH")
myWebhook = WHSetAvatar(
    myWebhook,
    "<image_url>"
)
myWebhook = WHSetContent(myWebhook, "My Webhook Library Example.")
myWebhook = WHSetEmbed(myWebhook, "My Library's Embed")
myWebhook = WHESetColor(myWebhook, "15281718")
myWebhook = WHESetField(myWebhook, "Some Field", "Text", false)
myWebhook = WHESetField(myWebhook, "Some Field", "Text", true)
myWebhook = WHESetField(myWebhook, "Some Field", "Text", true)
myWebhook = WHESetImage(
    myWebhook,
    "<image_url>"
)
WHSend(myWebhook, false)

This library made it easy for developers to share in-game events to Discord with just a few lines of Lua code.
