Channel Categories #54

Closed lun-4 closed 6 years ago

lun-4 commented 6 years ago

Every channel object(in a guild) can have a parent_id field(it should be nil when no category), it is a snowflake that points to another channel(the channel category, type 4), the category has its own name and permission overwrites which can be synced to the category's childs.

Note: In theory, categories can have category childs, but the UI doesn't allow that 🤷‍

We could add a Alchemy.Category.t where it could have functions like a get_childs(category_id) :: [Alchemy.Channel.t].

Thinking of splitting the channel type into 5 types (one for each id) instead of having this weird spec of keys that may or may not be there

lun-4 commented 6 years ago

It would be really nice! checking for the actual type instead of missing keys sounds way better

New pr splits up the channel types, feel free to raise issues / pr for utility functions or modifications related to this
