js-cord

^{An API wrapper for Discord, made using JavaScript.}

---

Why js-cord?

I tend to use Python more for developing Discord Bots because the API wrapper for Python (discord.py) has more features than the conventional discord.js. This wrapper fixes that, with built in command handling, pagination, debugging, and so much more.

Installation

js-cord is still in it's beta stage, therefore installing from NPM will install an older, ineffective version of js-cord.
For now, please install js-cord by cloning this repository.

You can install js-cord using npm:

$ npm install js-cord

Or, if you want the latest features, clone this repository directly:

$ npm install git+https://github.com/jay3332/js-cord

Examples

In all of these examples, we assume you have already created a bot and have it's token ready.

Basic Bot

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

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

client.on('message', async (msg) => {
    if (msg.content === 'ping')) {
        await msg.reply('Pong!');
    }
});

client.login(process.env.TOKEN);

Built-in command handler

// Can also be accessed via discord.plugins.commands
const { plugins: { commands } } = require('js-cord');
const bot = new commands.Bot({ prefix: '$' });

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

bot.command('ping', async (ctx) => {
    await ctx.reply('Pong!');
});

bot.login(process.env.TOKEN);
