Parts
=====


Parts is the term used for the data structures inside Discord. All parts share a common set of attributes and methods.

Parts have a set list of fillable fields. If you attempt to set a field that is not accessible, it will not warn you.

To create a part object, you can use the ``new`` syntax or the ``factory`` method. For example, creating a ``Message`` part:

.. code:: php

   $message = new Message($discord);
   // or
   $message = $discord->factory->create(Message::class);

Part attributes can be accessed similar to an object or like an array:

.. code:: php

   $message->content = 'hello!';
   // or
   $message['content'] = 'hello!';

   echo $message->content;
   // or
   echo $message['content'];

Filling a part with data
========================

The ``->fill(array $attributes)`` function takes an array of attributes to fill the part. If a field is found that is not ‘fillable’, it is skipped.

.. code:: php

   $message->fill([
       'content' => 'hello!',
   ]);

Getting the raw attributes of a part
====================================

The ``->getRawAttributes()`` function returns the array representation of the part.

.. code:: php

   $attributes = $message->getRawAttributes();
   /**
    * [
    *     "id" => "",
    *     "content" => "",
    *     // ...
    * ]
    */
