About

discord.js is 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

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');
