About

archaeon is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily, based on discord.js v11, aimed at maintaining and modernizing it.

• Object-oriented
• Predictable abstractions
• Performant
• 100% coverage of the Discord API

Installation

Node.js 6.0.0 or newer is required.
Ignore any warnings about unmet peer dependencies, as they're all optional.

Without voice support: npm install archaeon
With voice support (@discordjs/opus): npm install archaeon @discordjs/opus
With voice support (opusscript): npm install archaeon opusscript

Audio engines

The preferred audio engine is @discordjs/opus, as it performs significantly better than opusscript. When both are available, discord.js will automatically choose @discordjs/opus. Using opusscript is only recommended for development environments where @discordjs/opus is tough to get working. For production bots, using @discordjs/opus should be considered a necessity, especially if they're going to be running on multiple servers.

Optional packages

• bufferutil to greatly speed up the WebSocket when not using uws (npm install bufferutil)
• erlpack for significantly faster WebSocket data (de)serialisation (npm install hammerandchisel/erlpack)
• One of the following packages can be installed for faster voice packet encryption and decryption:
  • sodium (npm install sodium)
  • libsodium.js (npm install libsodium-wrappers)

Example usage

const Discord = require("archaeon");
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on("ready", () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on("message", (msg) => {
  if (msg.content === "ping") {
    msg.reply("pong");
  }
});

client.login("token");
