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 14.6.0 or newer is required.

``sh-session
npm install 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

Example usage

First, we need to register a slash command against the Discord API:
`js
const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v9');

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

const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken('token');

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

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

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

Afterwards we can create a quite simple example bot:
`js
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });

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

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

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

client.login('token');
``
