* Small changes to parseEmoji regex
I just made a small change to the parseEmoji regex, this change will make an invalid emoji, like `<aname:id>` return as null, before this change it would return as an animated emoji because the name started with an `a` which would result in false positives, then the `?` I added to the end of `(\d{17,19})?` is used if someone provided an emoji as `:name:` or `a:name:` it will return the correct values but have an invalid id.
* Update Util.js
2nd Update: I changed the regex to output the results if you provide `<aemoji:123456789012345678>` and <:aemoji:123456789012345678>` which will output `{ animated: false, name: "aemoji", id: "123456789012345678" }` or `<:emojiname:>` which outputs `{ animated: false, name: "emojiname", id: null }` or `<a:emoji:>` which would output `{ animated: true, name: "emoji", id: null }`. Before this PR the method would return that the emoji was animated if you provided something like `<anemojiname:emoji_id>` because the name started with an `a`.
About
discord.js is a powerful Node.js module that allows you to easily interact with the Discord API.
- Object-oriented
- Predictable abstractions
- Performant
- 100% coverage of the Discord API
Installation
Node.js 10.0.0 or newer is required.
Ignore any warnings about unmet peer dependencies, as they're all optional.
Without voice support: npm install discordjs/discord.js
With voice support (node-opus): npm install discordjs/discord.js node-opus
With voice support (opusscript): npm install discordjs/discord.js opusscript
Audio engines
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 environments where node-opus is tough to get working. For production bots, using node-opus should be considered a necessity, especially if they're going to be running on multiple servers.
Optional packages
- zlib-sync for faster WebSocket data inflation (
npm install zlib-sync) - zucc for significantly faster WebSocket data inflation (
npm install zucc) - erlpack for significantly faster WebSocket data (de)serialisation (
npm install discordapp/erlpack) - One of the following packages can be installed for faster voice packet encryption and decryption:
- sodium (
npm install sodium) - libsodium.js (
npm install libsodium-wrappers)
- sodium (
- uws for a much faster WebSocket connection (
npm install @discordjs/uws) - bufferutil for a much faster WebSocket connection when not using uws (
npm install bufferutil)
Example usage
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.content === 'ping') {
msg.reply('pong');
}
});
client.login('token');
