## 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' }));
```
