[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hydrabolt/discord.js.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/hydrabolt/discord.js) [![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/discordjs/badge/?version=latest)](http://discordjs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/?badge=latest)
discord.js is a node module used as a way of interfacing with
[Discord](https://discordapp.com/). It is a very useful module for creating
bots.
**The examples in the repo are in ES6, either update your node or compile them down to babel yourself if you want to use them!**
### Installation
`npm install --save discord.js`
---
### Example
```js
var Discord = require("discord.js");
var mybot = new Discord.Client();
mybot.on("message", function(message){
if(message.content === "ping")
mybot.reply(message, "pong");
});
mybot.login("email", "password");
```

### What's new in 3.9.0?
Amongst some fixes to web distribution creation, you can now opt for easier string formatting! However, it does modify String globally so you'll have to run:
```js
Discord.patchStrings()
```
After you have run this, you can do:
```
"message".bold.underline.italic
// generates "*__**message**__*"
```
A full list of modifiers (all chainable):
* bold `**`
* italic `*`
* underline `__`
* strike `~`
* code `` ` ``
* codeblock ```` ``` ````
* newline `\n`
