⚗️ Quick Start:

Getting started with Victoria is fairly simple and quick:

• Add Victoria package from Nuget.
• Add LavaNode and LavaConfig to ServiceCollection.

// Make sure there is ONLY ONE instance of LavaNode and LavaConfig in your program unless you have several
// Lavalink instances running and would like to create node pool (which majority of the users don't).
// For version 5.1.2 and before.

	var services = new ServiceCollection()
		// Other services DiscordSocketClient, CommandService, etc
		.AddSingleton<LavaNode>()
		.AddSingleton<LavaConfig>();
		
	var provider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

// Make sure there is ONLY ONE instance of LavaNode and LavaConfig in your program unless you have several
// Lavalink instances running and would like to create node pool (which majority of the users don't).
// For versions 5.1.3 and above.

	var services = new ServiceCollection()
		// Other services DiscordSocketClient, CommandService, etc
		.AddLavaNode(x => {
            x.SelfDeaf = false;
        });
		
	var provider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

• In your DiscordSocketClient or DiscordShardedClient Ready event call _instanceOfLavaNode.ConnectAsync();

	discordSocketClient.Ready += OnReadyAsync;
	....
	
	private async Task OnReadyAsync() {
	// Avoid calling ConnectAsync again if it's already connected 
	// (It throws InvalidOperationException if it's already connected).
		if (!_instanceOfLavaNode.IsConnected) {
			_instanceOfLavaNode.ConnectAsync();
		}
		
		// Other ready related stuff
	}

• Create a Music/Audio command module and start writing Victoria related commands!

public sealed class MusicModule : SocketCommandContext {
	private readonly LavaNode _lavaNode;
	
	public MusicModule(LavaNode lavaNode)
		=> _lavaNode = lavaNode;
		
	[Command("Join")]
	public async Task JoinAsync() {	
            if (_lavaNode.HasPlayer(Context.Guild)) {
                await ReplyAsync("I'm already connected to a voice channel!");
                return;
            }

            var voiceState = Context.User as IVoiceState;
            if (voiceState?.VoiceChannel == null) {
                await ReplyAsync("You must be connected to a voice channel!");
                return;
            }

            try {
                await _lavaNode.JoinAsync(voiceState.VoiceChannel, Context.Channel as ITextChannel);
                await ReplyAsync($"Joined {voiceState.VoiceChannel.Name}!");
            }
            catch (Exception exception) {
                await ReplyAsync(exception.Message);
            }
	}
}
