Syntax

public interface ISocketMessageChannel : IMessageChannel, IChannel, ISnowflakeEntity, IEntity<ulong>

Properties

CachedMessages

Gets all messages in this channel's cache.

Declaration

IReadOnlyCollection<SocketMessage> CachedMessages { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IReadOnlyCollection<SocketMessage>	A read-only collection of WebSocket-based messages.

Methods

GetCachedMessage(UInt64)

Gets a cached message from this channel.

Declaration

SocketMessage GetCachedMessage(ulong id)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
UInt64	id	The snowflake identifier of the message.

Returns

Type	Description
SocketMessage	A WebSocket-based message object; null if it does not exist in the cache or if caching is not enabled.

Remarks

warning

This method requires the use of cache, which is not enabled by default; if caching is not enabled, this method will always return null. Please refer to MessageCacheSize for more details.

This method retrieves the message from the local WebSocket cache and does not send any additional request to Discord. This message may be a message that has been deleted.

GetCachedMessages(IMessage, Direction, Int32)

Gets the last N cached messages starting from a certain message in this message channel.

Declaration

IReadOnlyCollection<SocketMessage> GetCachedMessages(IMessage fromMessage, Direction dir, int limit = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IMessage	fromMessage	The message to start the fetching from.
Direction	dir	The direction of which the message should be gotten from.
Int32	limit	The number of messages to get.

Returns

Type	Description
IReadOnlyCollection<SocketMessage>	A read-only collection of WebSocket-based messages.

This method retrieves the message(s) from the local WebSocket cache and does not send any additional request to Discord. This read-only collection may include messages that have been deleted. The maximum number of messages that can be retrieved from this method depends on the MessageCacheSize set.

GetCachedMessages(Int32)

Gets the last N cached messages from this message channel.

Declaration

IReadOnlyCollection<SocketMessage> GetCachedMessages(int limit = null)
