About

This library is a fork of discord.js, 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

Additional features provided by this library:
- Improves detection of user presence updates
- Greatly reduces presence caching without compromising presence update detections when sweepers are implemented.
- Continues to support the EmbedBuilder.addField() method.

Installation

Node.js 16.9.0 or newer is required.

``sh-session
npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js
`

$3

- zlib-sync for WebSocket data compression and inflation (npm install zlib-sync)
- erlpack for significantly faster WebSocket data (de)serialisation (npm install discord/erlpack)
- bufferutil for a much faster WebSocket connection (npm install bufferutil)
- utf-8-validate in combination with bufferutil for much faster WebSocket processing (npm install utf-8-validate)
- @discordjs/voice for interacting with the Discord Voice API (npm install @discordjs/voice)

Example usage

Install discord.js:

`sh-session
npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js
`

Register a slash command against the Discord API:

`js
const { REST, Routes } = require('discord.js');

const commands = [
{
name: 'ping',
description: 'Replies with Pong!',
},
];

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);

(async () => {
try {
console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');

await rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(CLIENT_ID), { body: commands });

console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
})();
`

Afterwards we can create a quite simple example bot:

`js
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!);
});

client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {
await interaction.reply('Pong!');
}
});

client.login(TOKEN);
``
