## About
|
||||
|
||||
discord.js is a powerful [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) module that allows you to easily interact with the
|
||||
[Discord API](https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro).
|
||||
This repository contains multiple packages with separate [releases][github-releases]. You can find the assembled Discord API wrapper at [`discord.js`][source]. It is a powerful [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) module that allows you to easily interact with the [Discord API](https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro).
|
||||
|
||||
- Object-oriented
|
||||
- Predictable abstractions
|
||||
- Performant
|
||||
- 100% coverage of the Discord API
|
||||
## Packages
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
**Node.js 16.9.0 or newer is required.**
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm install discord.js
|
||||
yarn add discord.js
|
||||
pnpm add discord.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional packages
|
||||
|
||||
- [zlib-sync](https://www.npmjs.com/package/zlib-sync) for WebSocket data compression and inflation (`npm install zlib-sync`)
|
||||
- [erlpack](https://github.com/discord/erlpack) for significantly faster WebSocket data (de)serialisation (`npm install discord/erlpack`)
|
||||
- [bufferutil](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bufferutil) for a much faster WebSocket connection (`npm install bufferutil`)
|
||||
- [utf-8-validate](https://www.npmjs.com/package/utf-8-validate) in combination with `bufferutil` for much faster WebSocket processing (`npm install utf-8-validate`)
|
||||
- [@discordjs/voice](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@discordjs/voice) for interacting with the Discord Voice API (`npm install @discordjs/voice`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Example usage
|
||||
|
||||
Install discord.js:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm install discord.js
|
||||
yarn add discord.js
|
||||
pnpm add discord.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Register a slash command against the Discord API:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { REST, Routes } = require('discord.js');
|
||||
|
||||
const commands = [
|
||||
{
|
||||
name: 'ping',
|
||||
description: 'Replies with Pong!',
|
||||
},
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);
|
||||
|
||||
(async () => {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');
|
||||
|
||||
await rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(CLIENT_ID), { body: commands });
|
||||
|
||||
console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
console.error(error);
|
||||
}
|
||||
})();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Afterwards we can create a quite simple example bot:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
|
||||
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });
|
||||
|
||||
client.on('ready', () => {
|
||||
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
client.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
|
||||
if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;
|
||||
|
||||
if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {
|
||||
await interaction.reply('Pong!');
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
client.login(TOKEN);
|
||||
```
