boogcord

About

DISCLAIMER: BOOGCORD IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS. Not all features mentioned below are complete and implemented. This disclaimer will be removed when this statement is no longer true.

A light yet robust Discord library written in TypeScript, catered towards developers looking for a final, no compromises solution for creating Discord bots. boogcord aims to pass data straight from the Discord API to you; no bloated middleware, abstractions, etc.

Pros

• Scalable: With a built-in sharding manager, and even support for using Node.js worker threads, boogcord makes it easy to scale your bot, from 10 servers to 10 thousand.
• Predictable: boogcord is as close as you can get to the Discord API, meaning that typically, what you see in Discord's documentation is also here.
• Lightweight: boogcord does minimal manipulation of incoming gateway events, responses to REST requests, etc. Additionally, boogcord only has 6 direct dependencies, which resolve out to 12 in total.
• Fully Featured: boogcord covers 100% of the Discord API, meaning that you'll never be missing out on any features.
• Plugins: boogcord has several pre-built plugins that can be optionally installed, including a robust and easy to use command handler, a lavalink client for music bots, and a UI for monitoring your deployments along with manipulating multiple instances of your bot to cater zero downtime via rolling restarts.

Cons

• Not beginner friendly: boogcord doesn't aim to be easily understood by new developers; it looks to serve as the final destination for advanced Discord bot developers.
