## Purpose

A Python library for creating HTML transcripts of Discord channels. This is useful for logging, archiving, or sharing conversations from a Discord server.

*The base code comes from [py-discord-html-transcripts](https://github.com/FroostySnoowman/py-discord-html-transcripts) and has been adapted and improved.*

- [Paramètres](#paramètres)

---

## <a id="prérequis"></a>Prérequis

-   Python 3.6 ou plus récent
-   `discord.py` v2.4.0 ou plus récent (ou un fork compatible comme `nextcord` ou `disnake`)

---

## <a id="installation"></a>Installation

Pour installer la librairie, exécutez la commande suivante :

```sh
pip install DiscordTranscript
```

**NOTE :** Cette librairie est une extension pour `discord.py` et ne fonctionne pas de manière autonome. Vous devez avoir un bot `discord.py` fonctionnel pour l'utiliser.

---

## <a id="utilisation"></a>Utilisation

Il existe trois méthodes principales pour exporter une conversation : `quick_export`, `export`, et `raw_export`.

-   `quick_export`: La manière la plus simple d'utiliser la librairie. Elle récupère l'historique du salon, génère la transcription, puis la publie directement dans le même salon.
-   `export`: La méthode la plus flexible. Elle permet de personnaliser la transcription avec plusieurs options.
-   `raw_export`: Permet de créer une transcription à partir d'une liste de messages que vous fournissez.

### Exemples de paramètres

Voici comment vous pouvez utiliser les paramètres pour personnaliser vos transcriptions.

  ```python
  # Récupère les 50 derniers messages
  my_messages = await ctx.channel.history(limit=50).flatten()

  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.raw_export(
      ctx.channel,
      messages=my_messages, # Fournit la liste de messages
      bot=bot,
  )
  ```

- **`limit`**: Pour limiter le nombre de messages à 100.
  ```python
  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.export(
      ctx.channel,
      limit=100, # Limite à 100 messages
      bot=bot,
  )
  ```

- **`before` et `after`**: Pour exporter les messages d'une période spécifique.
  ```python
  import datetime

  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.export(
      ctx.channel,
      # Exportera les messages envoyés entre le 10 et le 20 juin 2023
      after=datetime.datetime(2023, 6, 10),  # Après le 10 juin 2023
      before=datetime.datetime(2023, 6, 20), # Avant le 20 juin 2023
      bot=bot,
  )
  ```

- **`tz_info`**: Pour afficher les heures en fonction d'un fuseau horaire (ex: heure de Paris).
  ```python
  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.export(
      ctx.channel,
      tz_info="Europe/Paris", # Fuseau horaire de Paris
      bot=bot,
  )
  ```

- **`military_time`**: Pour utiliser le format 12h (AM/PM) au lieu du format 24h.
  ```python
  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.export(
      ctx.channel,
      military_time=False, # Affiche 1:00 PM au lieu de 13:00
      bot=bot,
  )
  ```

- **`fancy_times`**: Pour afficher la date complète au lieu de "Aujourd'hui à...".
  ```python
  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.export(
      ctx.channel,
      fancy_times=False, # Affiche la date complète (ex: 23/09/2025)
      bot=bot,
  )
  ```

- **`bot`**: Pour résoudre les informations des utilisateurs (même s'ils ont quitté le serveur).
  ```python
  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.export(
      ctx.channel,
      bot=bot, # Fournit l'instance du bot
  )
  ```

- **`guild`**: Pour vous assurer que les rôles et les couleurs des membres sont corrects.
  ```python
  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.export(
      ctx.channel,
      guild=ctx.guild, # Fournit l'instance du serveur
      bot=bot,
  )
  ```

- **`attachment_handler`**: Pour intégrer les pièces jointes directement dans le fichier HTML.
  ```python
  from DiscordTranscript.construct.attachment_handler import AttachmentToDataURIHandler

  transcript = await DiscordTranscript.export(
      ctx.channel,
      # Intègre les pièces jointes en tant que Data URIs
      attachment_handler=AttachmentToDataURIHandler(),
      bot=bot,

---

## <a id="prerequisites-en"></a>Prerequisites

-   Python 3.6 or newer
-   `discord.py` v2.4.0 or newer (or a compatible fork like `nextcord` or `disnake`)

---

## <a id="installation-en"></a>Installation

To install the library, run the following command:

```sh
pip install DiscordTranscript
```

**NOTE:** This library is an extension for `discord.py` and does not work standalone. You must have a functional `discord.py` bot to use it.

---

## <a id="usage-en"></a>Usage

There are three main methods for exporting a conversation: `quick_export`, `export`, and `raw_export`.

-   `quick_export`: The simplest way to use the library. It retrieves the channel's history, generates the transcript, and then publishes it directly in the same channel.
-   `export`: The most flexible method. It allows you to customize the transcript with several options.
-   `raw_export`: Allows you to create a transcript from a list of messages you provide.
