Contributing

Development Environment

To contribute to the code, you need:

• .NET 10.0 SDK
• An IDE (Visual Studio 2022, JetBrains Rider, or VS Code).

Project Structure

• DiscordChatExporter.Core: The heart of the application. Contains logic for Discord API interaction, parsing, and exporting.
• DiscordChatExporter.Cli: The Console Application layer.
• DiscordChatExporter.Gui: The Avalonia UI Application layer.
• DiscordChatExporter.Cli.Tests: XUnit tests.

Running Tests

The tests run against a real Discord server/environment. You need to provide a token via environment variable or User Secrets to run them locally.

dotnet user-secrets set DISCORD_TOKEN <your_token> --project DiscordChatExporter.Cli.Tests
dotnet test
