This package has been deprecated

Author message:

I no longer use Discord.js for Discord bots so I'm deprecating this package. Feel free to fork and maintain it yourself.

@4lch4/discord.js

This is a fork of the original discord.js repo. I have personal issues with the developers of that project so while I don't want to use their package maintained by them, I'll set this up for my projects.

The remainder of this file is the original README from the discord.js repository.

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 12.0.0 or newer is required.
Ignore any warnings about unmet peer dependencies, as they're all optional.

Without voice support: npm install discord.js
With voice support (@discordjs/opus): npm install discord.js @discordjs/opus
With voice support (opusscript): npm install discord.js opusscript

Audio engines

The preferred audio engine is @discordjs/opus, as it performs significantly better than opusscript. When both are available, discord.js will automatically choose @discordjs/opus. Using opusscript is only recommended for development environments where @discordjs/opus is tough to get working. For production bots, using @discordjs/opus should be considered a necessity, especially if they're going to be running on multiple servers.

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)
• One of the following packages can be installed for faster voice packet encryption and decryption:
  • sodium (npm install sodium)
  • libsodium.js (npm install libsodium-wrappers)
• 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)

Example usage

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('message', msg => {
  if (msg.content === 'ping') {
    msg.reply('pong');
  }
});

client.login('token');
