Create a new poll struct.

Use Nostrum.Api.create_message to send it once you've populated it.

Accepts a question_text parameter which is the string to use as the poll title.

Keyword arguments:

duration: duration (in hours) the poll should be open for
allow_multiselect: whether users should be able to select multiple answers

You can also pass an answers key with answers, though put_answer/2 and put_answer/3 are advised.

Examples

poll = Poll.create_poll("Do you enjoy pineapple on pizza?", duration: 2, allow_multiselect: false)
        |> Poll.put_answer("Yes!", default_emoji: "\u2705") # check mark emoji
        |> Poll.put_answer("No!", default_emoji: "\u274C") # cross emoji

Api.create_message(channel_id, poll: poll)
