Discord-js-command-client NPM

Discord.js Command Client

Discord.js Command Client is a Node.js module, used to extend Discord.js features, and to facilitate commands registration.

Installation

npm install discord-js-command-client

Getting started

This module is pretty simple to use. First, you need to install it. Its use is similar to Discord.js with the CommandClient class, replacing the Client class from the Discord.js module. You can pass the command's prefix as a parameter when creating the bot. Default prefix is !.

const {CommandClient} = require('discord-js-command-client');

const client = new CommandClient('!'); // Equivalent to
const client = new CommandClient();

client.login('super-secret-token');

Then you can register commands on this client by the method registerCommand(). This method takes 3 parameters. First, the command name, without the prefix. For example, "echo". Then you will type the callback function, called when the command is typed by an user. This callback function takes 3 parameters. The first is the Message object, as used by Discord.js, with author and so on. Then, it's a string, with the command name, without the prefix (for example : "echo", if I typed !echo this is a message). The third parameter is a string array, with all parameters passed to the method. For example, if the user typed !echo this is a message, the array will contain ['this', 'is', 'a', 'message'].

The third parameter in the registerCommand() method is an Object, with key-value pairs. You can tell which condition(s) must be followed to trigger the event. All the options will be detailed following. The full example for our echo command is :

const {CommandClient} = require('discord-js-command-client');

const client = new CommandClient();

client.registerCommand("echo", (message, commandName, args) => {
    const reply = args.join(' ');
    message.channel.send(reply);
}, {
    minArgs: 1,
    usageMessage: `%f <Message>`,
    dmAllowed: true,
});

client.login('super-secret-token');

You can delete an existing command by using the unregisterCommand() method, with, as only parameter, the command name. To unregister our echo command, the code is the following :

client.unregisterCommand("echo");

Finally, you can edit existing commands, with editCommandData() (which have same definition than the registerCommand() method), and editCommandOptions() which don't require to override existing callback. The two parameters are the name of the command and the Object containing options.

client.editCommandData("echo", (message, commandName, args) => {
    message.channel.send(args[0]);
})
