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.

npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js

Optional packages

• 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:

npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js

Register a slash command against the Discord API:

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:

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);
