Usage Examples
==============
Not all of these are standalone examples, many of them are usage examples. If you're a beginner to Discord.js, we encourage you to look through these examples to get a hang of the way things work using the library.
.. warning:: Please do not copy/paste code directly from these examples. Try to learn from and adapt these pieces of code to your specific situation.
--------
Logging In
----------
Logs the Client_ in, allowing you to begin working with the Discord API.
Logging in with a username and password
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Do not use a normal user account for large or public bots. This is considered abuse of the API and can land you in trouble.**
.. code-block:: javascript
const Discord = require('discord.js');
var client = new Discord.Client();
client.login('mybot@example.com', 'password', output);
function output(error, token) {
if (error) {
console.log('There was an error logging in: ' + error);
return;
} else
console.log('Logged in. Token: ' + token);
}
Logging in with a token
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can get your bot's token using the `My Applications`_ page on the Discord Developers site.
.. code-block:: javascript
const Discord = require('discord.js');
var client = new Discord.Client();
client.loginWithToken('token', output);
function output(error, token) {
if (error) {
console.log('There was an error logging in: ' + error);
return;
} else
console.log('Logged in. Token: ' + token);
}
-----
Receiving Messages
------------------
Here we will demonstrate receiving messages and logging them to the console.
.. code-block:: javascript
client.on('message', function(message) {
if (message.channel.isPrivate) {
console.log('(Private) ${message.author.name}: ${message.content}');
} else {
console.log('(${message.server.name} / ${message.channel.name}) ${message.author.name}: ${message.content}');
}
});
