## About `@discordjs/ws` is a powerful wrapper around Discord's gateway. ## Installation **Node.js 16.9.0 or newer is required.** ```sh-session npm install @discordjs/ws yarn add @discordjs/ws pnpm add @discordjs/ws ``` ## Example usage ```ts import { WebSocketManager, WebSocketShardEvents } from '@discordjs/ws'; import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest'; const rest = new REST().setToken(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN); // This example will spawn Discord's recommended shard count, all under the current process. const manager = new WebSocketManager({ token: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN, intents: 0, // for no intents rest, }); await manager.connect(); ``` ### Specify shards ```ts // Spawn 4 shards const manager = new WebSocketManager({ token: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN, intents: 0, rest, shardCount: 4, }); // The manager also supports being responsible for only a subset of your shards: // Your bot will run 8 shards overall // This manager will only take care of 0, 2, 4, and 6 const manager = new WebSocketManager({ token: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN, intents: 0, rest, shardCount: 8, shardIds: [0, 2, 4, 6], }); // Alternatively, if your shards are consecutive, you can pass in a range const manager = new WebSocketManager({ token: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN, intents: 0, rest, shardCount: 8, shardIds: { start: 0, end: 4, }, }); ``` ### Specify `worker_threads` You can also have the shards spawn in worker threads: ```ts import { WebSocketManager, WebSocketShardEvents, WorkerShardingStrategy } from '@discordjs/ws'; const manager = new WebSocketManager({ token: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN, intents: 0, rest, shardCount: 6, }); // This will cause 3 workers to spawn, 2 shards per each manager.setStrategy(new WorkerShardingStrategy(manager, { shardsPerWorker: 2 })); // Or maybe you want all your shards under a single worker manager.setStrategy(new WorkerShardingStrategy(manager, { shardsPerWorker: 'all' })); ``` ## Links - [Website](https://discord.js.org/) ([source](https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/tree/main/packages/website)) - [Documentation](https://discord.js.org/#/docs/ws) - [Guide](https://discordjs.guide/) ([source](https://github.com/discordjs/guide)) See also the [Update Guide](https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v13.html), including updated and removed items in the library. - [discord.js Discord server](https://discord.gg/djs) - [Discord API Discord server](https://discord.gg/discord-api) - [GitHub](https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/tree/main/packages/ws) - [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@discordjs/ws) - [Related libraries](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/community-resources#libraries) ## Contributing Before creating an issue, please ensure that it hasn't already been reported/suggested, and double-check the [documentation](https://discord.js.org/#/docs/ws).
