discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the [Discord API](https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/intro).
## Installation
**Node.js 6.0.0 or newer is required.**
Without voice support: `npm install discord.js --save --production`
With voice support ([node-opus](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-opus)): `npm install discord.js node-opus --save --production`
With voice support ([opusscript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/opusscript)): `npm install discord.js opusscript --save --production`
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
```js
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](https://www.npmjs.com/package/generator-discordbot).
