Discord Player

Note: this module uses recent discordjs features and requires discord.js version 12 and Node.js 14.

Discord Player is a powerful Node.js module that allows you to easily implement music commands. Everything is customizable, and everything is done to simplify your work without limiting you! It doesn't require any api key, as it uses scraping.

Features

🤘 Easy to use!
🎸 You can apply some cool filters (bassboost, reverse, 8D, etc...)
🎼 Manage your server queues with simple functions (add songs, skip the current song, pause the music, resume it, etc...)!
🌐 Multi-servers support

Getting Started

Here is the code you will need to get started with discord-player. Then, you will be able to use client.player everywhere in your code!

const Discord = require("discord.js"),
client = new Discord.Client(),
settings = {
    prefix: "!",
    token: "Your Discord Token"
};

const { Player } = require("discord-player");
// Create a new Player (you don't need any API Key)
const player = new Player(client);
// To easily access the player
client.player = player;
// add the trackStart event so when a song will be played this message will be sent
client.player.on('trackStart', (message, track) => message.channel.send(`Now playing ${track.title}...`))

client.on("ready", () => {
    console.log("I'm ready !");
});

client.on("message", async (message) => {

    const args = message.content.slice(settings.prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

    // !play Despacito
    // will play "Despacito" in the member voice channel

    if(command === "play"){
        client.player.play(message, args[0]);
        // as we registered the event above, no need to send a success message here
    }

});

client.login(settings.token);

    const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setAuthor(`Here are your search results for ${query}!`)
    .setDescription(tracks.map((t, i) => `${i}. ${t.title}`))
    .setFooter('Send the number of the song you want to play!')
    message.channel.send(embed);

})
.on('searchInvalidResponse', (message, query, tracks, content, collector) => {

    if (content === 'cancel') {
        collector.stop()
        return message.channel.send('Search cancelled!')
    }

    message.channel.send(`You must send a valid number between 1 and ${tracks.length}!`)

            break;
