use bevy_discord::serenity::all::*;
use serde_json::json;

fn main() {
    // Configure the bot with necessary intents
    let config = DiscordBotConfig::default()
        .token("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE".to_string())
        .gateway_intents(
            GatewayIntents::GUILD_MESSAGES
                | GatewayIntents::MESSAGE_CONTENT
                | GatewayIntents::GUILDS,

        .run();
}

fn handle_messages(
    mut messages: EventReader<BMessage>,
    http: Res<bevy_discord::http::DiscordHttpResource>,
) {
    for message in messages.read() {
        // Skip messages from bots (including our own)
        if message.new_message.author.bot {
            continue;
        }

        let content = &message.new_message.content;
        let channel_id = message.new_message.channel_id;

        // Simple ping-pong command
        if content == "!ping" {
            let http = http.client();

            bevy_discord::runtime::tokio_runtime().spawn(async move {
                let _ = http
                    .send_message(
                        channel_id,
                        vec![],
                        &json!({
                            "content": "Pong! 🏓"
                        }),
                    )
                    .await;
            });
        }
