Discord HTML Transcripts is a node.js module to generate nice looking HTML transcripts. Processes discord markdown like bold, _italics_, ~~strikethroughs~~, and more. Nicely formats attachments and embeds. Built in XSS protection, preventing users from inserting arbitrary html tags.

This module can format the following:

- Discord flavored markdown
- Uses discord-markdown-parser
- Allows for complex markdown syntax to be parsed properly
- Embeds
- System messages
- Join messages
- Message Pins
- Boost messages
- Slash commands
- Will show the name of the command in the same style as Discord
- Buttons
- Reactions
- Attachments
- Images, videos, audio, and generic files
- Replies
- Mentions
- Threads

This module is designed to work with discord.js v14/v15 _only_. If you need v13 support, roll back to v2.X.X

Styles from @derockdev/discord-components.
Behind the scenes, this package uses React SSR to generate a static site.

📝 Usage

$3

``js
const discordTranscripts = require('discord-html-transcripts');
// or (if using typescript) import * as discordTranscripts from 'discord-html-transcripts';

const channel = message.channel; // or however you get your TextChannel

// Must be awaited
const attachment = await discordTranscripts.createTranscript(channel);

channel.send({
files: [attachment],
});
`

$3

`js
const discordTranscripts = require('discord-html-transcripts');
// or (if using typescript) import * as discordTranscripts from 'discord-html-transcripts';

const messages = someWayToGetMessages(); // Must be Collection or Message[]
const channel = someWayToGetChannel(); // Used for ticket name, guild icon, and guild name

// Must be awaited
const attachment = await discordTranscripts.generateFromMessages(messages, channel);

channel.send({
files: [attachment],
});
`

⚙️ Configuration

Both methods of generating a transcript allow for an option object as the last parameter.
All configuration options are optional!

$3

`js
const attachment = await discordTranscripts.createTranscript(channel, {
limit: -1, // Max amount of messages to fetch. -1 recursively fetches.
returnType: 'attachment', // Valid options: 'buffer' | 'string' | 'attachment' Default: 'attachment' OR use the enum ExportReturnType
filename: 'transcript.html', // Only valid with returnType is 'attachment'. Name of attachment.
saveImages: false, // Download all images and include the image data in the HTML (allows viewing the image even after it has been deleted) (! WILL INCREASE FILE SIZE !)
footerText: "Exported {number} message{s}", // Change text at footer, don't forget to put {number} to show how much messages got exported, and {s} for plural
callbacks: {
// register custom callbacks for the following:
resolveChannel: (channelId: string) => Awaitable,
resolveUser: (userId: string) => Awaitable,
resolveRole: (roleId: string) => Awaitable,
resolveImageSrc: (
attachment: APIAttachment,
message: APIMessage
) => Awaitable
},
poweredBy: true, // Whether to include the "Powered by discord-html-transcripts" footer
hydrate: true, // Whether to hydrate the html server-side
filter: (message) => true // Filter messages, e.g. (message) => !message.author.bot
});
`

$3

`js
const attachment = await discordTranscripts.generateFromMessages(messages, channel, {
// Same as createTranscript, except no limit or filter
});
`

$3

If saveImages is set to true, all images will be downloaded and stored in the file _as-is_. You can optionally enable compression by installing the sharp module and setting the following options:

`js
callbacks: {
resolveImageSrc: new TranscriptImageDownloader()
.withMaxSize(5120) // 5MB in KB
.withCompression(40, true) // 40% quality, convert to webp
.build(),
},
`

Note that, in a more advanced setup, you could store a copy of the files and return an entirely new URL pointing to your own image hosting site by implementing a custom resolveImageSrc` function.
