discord-slim
Advanced tools
Lightweight Discord API library for Node.js.
Provides pure API interaction via type definitions and some helper tools, without excessive abstractions.
Make sure you have some understaning of Discord API.
Client - client for connecting to the Discord API gateway.
ClientEvents - set of possible client events.
Authorization - authorization class for client and actions.
Events - set of possible gateway API events.
Actions - access to API requests.
Helpers - objects and constants for API.
Tools - additional tools for convinience.
Voice - client for connecting to voice channels.
VoiceEvents - set of possible voice client events.
Types - type definitions export for TypeScript.
TODO.
For now use e.g. VS Code for types completion.
npm i discord-slim
const { Client, ClientEvents, Authorization, Events, Actions, Helpers, Tools } = require('discord-slim');
// Basic setup to control client operation.
// You probably want to use such code for every bot.
const client = new Client();
client.on(ClientEvents.CONNECT, () => console.log('Connection established.'));
client.on(ClientEvents.DISCONNECT, (code) => console.error(`Disconnect. (${code})`));
client.on(ClientEvents.WARN, console.warn);
client.on(ClientEvents.ERROR, console.error);
client.on(ClientEvents.FATAL, (e) => { console.error(e); process.exit(1); });
// Authorization object. Required for client and actions.
const authorization = new Authorization('token');
// Request options for actions.
// By design every action can use it's own options. But for convinience you сan set default options globally for all actions.
// Default options can be overridden in any time by passing `requestOptions` argument to individual action.
Actions.setDefaultRequestOptions({
// Include authorization, it is required for most actions.
authorization,
// Rate limit behavior configuration.
// This options is not required, but you probably want to care about the rate limit.
rateLimit: {
// Set how many attempts to make due to the rate limit. Default: 5.
// This includes the first try, so values 1 and below will be treated as "no retries".
retryCount: 5,
// Rate limit hit callback
callback: (response, attempts) =>
console.log(`${response.message} Global: ${response.global}. Cooldown: ${response.retry_after} sec. Attempt: ${attempts}.`),
},
});
...
// Start the client connection.
client.Connect(authorization, Helpers.Intents.GUILDS | Helpers.Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES);
You can read about intents here.
client.events.on(Events.MESSAGE_CREATE, (message) => {
// Filter out own messages
if(message.author.id == client.user.id) return;
// Check that the message contains phrases like "hello bot" or "hi bot"
if(message.content.search(/(^|\s)h(ello|i)(\s|\s.*\s)bot($|\s)/i) < 0) return;
// Using both reply and mention just for demo
Actions.Message.Create(message.channel_id, {
content: `Hi, ${Tools.Mentions.User(message.author.id)}!`,
message_reference: {
channel_id: message.channel_id,
message_id: message.id,

});
client.events.on(Events.READY, () => {
client.UpdatePresence({

Note: slash commands requires applications.commands
scope. Read details in docs.
