## About

discord.js is a powerful [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) module that allows you to easily interact with the
[Discord API](https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro).

- Object-oriented
- Predictable abstractions
- Performant
- 100% coverage of the Discord API

## Installation

**Node.js 18 or newer is required.**

```sh
npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js
bun add discord.js
```

### Optional packages

- [zlib-sync](https://www.npmjs.com/package/zlib-sync) for WebSocket data compression and inflation (`npm install zlib-sync`)
- [bufferutil](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bufferutil) for a much faster WebSocket connection (`npm install bufferutil`)
- [@discordjs/voice](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@discordjs/voice) for interacting with the Discord Voice API (`npm install @discordjs/voice`)

## Example usage

Install discord.js:

```sh
npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js
bun add discord.js
```

Register a slash command against the Discord API:

```js
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:

```js
import { Client, GatewayIntentBits } from '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);
```
