boda.js v8.2.12

About

boda.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 16.11.0 or newer is required.

npm install boda.js
yarn add boda.js
pnpm add boda.js
bun add boda.js

Optional packages

• zlib-sync for WebSocket data compression and inflation (npm install zlib-sync)
• 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)
• @discordjs/voice for interacting with the Discord Voice API (npm install @discordjs/voice)

Example usage

Install boda.js:

npm install boda.js
yarn add boda.js
pnpm add boda.js
bun add boda.js

Register a slash command against the Discord API:

import { REST, Routes } from 'boda.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 'boda.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);
