A powerful library for interacting with the Discord API
discord.js is a powerful Node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It provides a comprehensive set of features to create bots and manage Discord servers.
Creating a Bot
This code demonstrates how to create a simple Discord bot using discord.js. The bot logs 'Ready!' to the console when it is successfully logged in and ready.
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
client.login('your-token-goes-here');
Handling Messages
This code shows how to handle messages in a Discord server. When a user sends a message with the content '!ping', the bot responds with 'Pong!'.
client.on('messageCreate', message => {
if (message.content === '!ping') {
message.channel.send('Pong!');
}
});
Managing Roles
This code demonstrates how to manage roles in a Discord server. When a user sends a message with the content '!addRole', the bot adds a role named 'NewRole' to the user.
client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
if (message.content === '!addRole') {
let role = message.guild.roles.cache.find(r => r.name === 'NewRole');
if (role) {
await message.member.roles.add(role);
message.channel.send('Role added!');
}
}
});
Sending Embeds
This code shows how to send embedded messages in Discord. When a user sends a message with the content '!embed', the bot responds with a rich embed message.
const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js');
client.on('messageCreate', message => {
if (message.content === '!embed') {
const embed = new MessageEmbed()
.setTitle('Sample Embed')
.setDescription('This is an example of an embed message')
.setColor(0xff0000);
message.channel.send({ embeds: [embed] });
}
});
Eris is another powerful library for interacting with the Discord API. It is known for being lightweight and efficient, making it a good alternative to discord.js. However, it may have a steeper learning curve for beginners.
discord.io is a small, lightweight library for interfacing with Discord. It is less feature-rich compared to discord.js and Eris, but it can be a good choice for simpler bots or for those who prefer a minimalistic approach.
discord.js is a powerful Node.js module that allows you to easily interact with the Discord API.
Node.js 20 or newer is required.
npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js
bun add discord.js
npm install zlib-sync
)npm install bufferutil
)npm install @discordjs/voice
)Install discord.js:
npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js
bun add discord.js
Register a slash command against the Discord API:
import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';
const commands = [
{
name: 'ping',
description: 'Replies with Pong!',
},
];
const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);
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:
import { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits } from 'discord.js';
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });
client.on(Events.ClientReady, readyClient => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${readyClient.user.tag}!`);
});
client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, async interaction => {
if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;
if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {
await interaction.reply('Pong!');
}
});
client.login(TOKEN);
