Welcome!
Welcome to the discord.js v10 documentation. v10 is just a more consistent and stable iteration over v9, and contains loads of new and improved features, optimisations, and bug fixes.
About
discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend. Usability and performance are key focuses of discord.js. It also has nearly 100% coverage of the Discord API.
Installation
Node.js 6.0.0 or newer is required.
Without voice support: npm install discord.js --save
With voice support (node-opus): npm install discord.js node-opus --save
With voice support (opusscript): npm install discord.js opusscript --save
The preferred audio engine is node-opus, as it performs significantly better than opusscript. When both are available, discord.js will automatically choose node-opus. Using opusscript is only recommended for development on Windows, since getting node-opus to build there can be a bit of a challenge. For production bots, using node-opus should be considered a necessity, especially if they're going to be running on multiple servers.
