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, 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);
