belua v2.2.1

Belua

Belua is a framework built for all the discord fans who wanted to create a bot, now possible!

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

You'll need discord.js^14 for this package

npm install discordjs@14

Installing

To start, create a directory for the app and enter it

mkdir myDiscordBot
cd myDiscordBot

Then, create a package.json with

npm init --yes

Then, install the belua package

npm install belua

Usage

Start with a very simple boiler-plate code

import { beluaClient } from 'belua'

const client = new beluaClient(process.env.MY_TOKEN)

This code Imports the beluaClient class from the module and creates an instance of it.

Command Usage

Once the client is initialised, you can start adding commands to it.

import { beluaClient, beluaCommand, beluaCommandData } from 'belua'

// Some Prerequisites
function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(resolve, ms);
  });
}

let myClient = new beluaClient(process.env.MY_TOKEN)


await sleep(2000) //Ensure client has initialised

myClient.setCommand(new beluaCommand(
  'ping', 
  new beluaCommandData('ping', 'Responds with Pong!'), ((i) => {
  i.reply('Pong!')
})))


await myClient.registerCommands() // Register Commands

This code does the following

• Import the neccesary classes
• Sets up a sleep function and uses it to ensure the client has initialised
• Creates a new command called ping that has a name, description and a execution function that handles the command.
• Registers the commands with registerCommands()

Message Events

import { beluaClient } from 'belua'

const client = new beluaClient(process.env.MY_TOKEN)

client.on('messageCreate', (m) => {
  if (m.getData().content == '!ping') {
    m.reply('Pong!'); // Respond
  } else if (m.getData().content == '!react') {
    m.react('👍'); // React
  } else if (m.getData().content == '!data') {
    m.reply(m.getData()); // The 'm' argument is a 'beluaMessage' class, so it has unique functions
  } else if (m.getData().content == '!delete') {
    m.reply('Message Deleted!'); // Replying after deleting will throw a 404 error
    m.delete();
  }
})

• This sets up an event listener for the messageCreate event.

The Official Docs is currently being built, so please be patient!

Notes

• This module supports both cjs and esm format

  const beluaClient = require('belua'); // This Works! (CJS)
  import beluaClient from 'belua' // This also works! (ESM)

  This feature was recently added in the 2.x update

• client.keepAlive() is an experimental function that attemps to keep the process alive

  import { beluaClient } from 'belua';
  const client = new beluaClient(process.env.MY_TOKEN)
  client.keepAlive() //Experimental
  // WOrks only in ESM.
