Module detritus-client[src]

Detritus

A wheels-attached, pure-TypeScript library for the Discord API.

• API Documentation
• Discord Help Server
• npm

Installation

Detritus is distributed via npm. A high-level wrapper over the Discord API is provided in this package, detritus-client. Low-level wrappers over Discord's REST API and Gateway are provided through detritus-client-rest and detritus-client-socket.

• $ npm i detritus-client
• $ yarn add detritus-client

Usage

Detritus is operated through the Clients classes:

• ShardClient provides a base client for connecting to the Discord API and receiving events.
• ClusterClient provides a client that creates ShardClient classes inside of it for easier sharding
• CommandClient wraps over the ClusterClient or ShardClient to provide support for bot commands.
• InteractionCommandClient wraps over the ClusterClient or ShardClient to provide support for interaction commands.
• ClusterManager provides a manager that'll spawn in multiple ClusterClient processes for big shardings

More Examples are provided under the examples/ directory.

Command Client Sample

const { CommandClientclass CommandClientdetritus-client/CommandClient } = require('detritus-client');

// Note: it is not advised to hard-code your bot token directly into the bot source.
//
// Tokens should be considered secrets and stored in a configuration file that is not
// part of your version control system, or an environment variable.
// By default, the CommandClient will use the ClusterClient
// The ShardClient/ClusterClient will be under CommandClient.client as soon as you create the object
const token = '';
const commandClient = new CommandClientclass CommandClientdetritus-client/CommandClient(token, {
  // Prefix `..`, if you want multiple prefixes pass in `prefixes: ['..', '...']`
  prefix: '..',
});

// Simple ping/pong command
commandClient.add({
  // name describes the command trigger; in this case, ..ping
  name: 'ping',
  run: (context, args) => {
    // Commands should return a promise to ensure that errors are handled
    return context.reply('pong!');
  },
});

// Command demonstrating command pipelines
commandClient.add({
  name: 'owner',
  // onBefore should return a boolean to indicate whether or not the command should proceed
  onBefore: (context) => context.client.isOwner(context.userId),
  onCancel: (context) => context.reply('This command is only available to the bot owner.'),
  run: async (context) => {
    // Commands may also run asynchronously.
    await context.reply('You are the owner of the bot!');
  },
});

// Spawn the client in an async context
//
// Note: Due to how Node handles tasks, the script will block until the Detritus client
// is killed.
(async () => {
  const client = await commandClient.run();
  console.log(`Client has loaded with a shard count of ${client.shardCount}`);
})();

//
// Tokens should be considered secrets and stored in a configuration file that is not
// part of your version control system, or an environment variable.

// The ShardClient/ClusterClient will be under InteractionCommandClient.client as soon as you create the object
const token = '';

// is killed.
(async () => {

  // Guild-specific Interaction commands are not supported right now
