discord-rpc

A simple Discord Rich Presence implementation

Basic Example:

import RPCClient from '@heroicgl/discord-rpc'
const client = RPCClient.make('your_client_id_here')
if (client) {
    client.request({
        cmd: 'SET_ACTIVITY',
        args: {
            pid: process.pid,
            activity: { state: 'Some extra info here' }
        }
    })
}

// Some time later: Closing the connection
if (client) {
    client.close()
}

You can send any valid RPC Command via the request method, except for SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE. Since those two commands involve events that should also be type-checked, there are special methods for them specifically (subscribe and unsubscribe).

Working with Events

Note: We were unable to test this part of the client as it seems to require RPC access (granted only by Discord).

The one exception to this workflow is the READY event. Due to the architecture of the make method, this event will not be emitted. You can instead access it with client.ready_data.

client.subscribe({ evt: 'GUILD_CREATE' })
client.on('event', (event) => {
    // Note that you'll have to filter out the type of the event yourself
    if (event.evt === 'GUILD_CREATE') {
        // `event` is now a `GUILD_CREATE` event & you'll get type hints
        console.log('New guild created:', event.data.name)
    }
})
