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 (

)
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);
