discord.js-rest v1.0.2

discord.js-rest | A Discord Rest Libary with zero Caching

Discord Rest | A libary, which allows you to connect to the Gateway and interact with the Discord Api with Rest Requests. Get the full control back with 0% Cache.

This Libary is usefull for Big Bots or Bots with less functionalities, since they often have their own Handler or do not need everything

Why?

The Discord.js library is bloated up with a lot of structures and some useless cache properties, which likely are never used. As your Bot grows or when you are searching after a minimalistic Solution, the package can be optimal, because it was just made for connecting to the Discord GateWay (Client Login), recieving all Discord Events and moreover doing Rest requests for sending message, creating channels, adding roles and more... This Solution can be comfortable for advanced Coders, which makes their own Custom Solutions for Caching.

Download

You can download it from npm:

npm i discord.js-rest

Changes:

When you interested transforming your code from 'X Libary' to discord.js-rest, you have to know there will be a lot of breaking Changes

• There is no Structures such as client.guilds or client
• No Caching | Custom Caching in Plan
• You recieve Discord Packets, which are delivered as Objects on the Event
• Event Names are Discord Event Names such as MESSAGE_CREATE instead of message
• Do not use this Package, when you do not have any know-how of rest
• You can use the routeBuilder, which has been copied from discord.js, e.g client.api.channels[channel_id].messages.post({ data})
• There is no premade functions for interacting with the Api

Example

The Example below shows, how discord.js-rest works and what you can do with Data you get. Sharding works too, you can use the ShardingManager of the Discord.js Library

const {token} = require('./config.json')
const Discord= require('discord.js-rest')
const client  = new Discord.Client({intents: ['GUILDS', 'GUILD_MESSAGES' ]})

client.on('READY',(packet) =>{
    client.user = packet.d.user;
    console.log('Bot Ready')
})
client.on('debug', console.log)

client.on('MESSAGE_CREATE',(packet) => {
    if(!packet.d) return;
    if(!packet.d.author) return;
    if(packet.d.author.id === client.user.id) return;

    if(packet.d.content === '!hello'){
        const data = {content: `Hello`}
        client.api.channels[packet.d.channel_id].messages.post({ data}).catch(e => console.log(e))
        
    }
    console.log(packet.d) //Log out the Data, when you want to see the structure
})

client.login(token)

Route Build Paths

This Part is currently on work, you can look into the Discord.js libary and its internal code

A Custom Caching Option is currently on work!

Credits:

All Credits goes to the libary 'discord.js' and their contributers. This Package is a unbloated version of the Libary, which allows you to connect to the Gateway, Listen to Events and do rest requests.
