discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with 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
If both audio packages are installed, discord.js will automatically choose node-opus.

The preferred audio engine is node-opus, as it performs significantly better than opusscript. 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.

Example Usage

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('I am ready!');
});

client.on('message', message => {
  if (message.content === 'ping') {
    message.reply('pong');
  }
});

client.login('your token');

A bot template using discord.js can be generated using generator-discordbot.
