djs-handlers

Small package for discord.js written in Typescript that exports 3 classes and the corresponding types:

• Command
• Event
• ExtendedClient

First, you need to install the package using your package manager.

npm install djs-handlers

ExtendedClient

The ExtendedClient holds a Collection() of commands and has 2 methods that are exposed to the user.

To use the client, you first need to import it and then instantiate the class.

import { ExtendedClient } from 'djs-handlers';
import { GatewayIntentBits, Partials } from 'discord.js';

const client = new ExtendedClient{
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
  ],
  partials: [Partials.GuildMember],
}

client.start({
  botToken: 'your discord token',
  guildID: 'your guild id, if you want to register the commands to a guild',
  commandsPath: './path/to/commandfolder',
  eventsPath: './path/to/eventfolder',
  type: 'commonJS',
  globalCommands: false,
  registerCommands: true,
})

The global property accepts a boolean indicating wether you want to register the commands to your application rather than a guild.

The registerCommands property accepts a boolean indicating wether you want to register the commmands on startup. You can change this during development to prevent spamming the API.

You can also remove all commands from your guild or application by using the remove() method.

client.removeCommands();

Inside your sources folder, create 2 directories with the names commands and events. Those hold all your events and the corresponding code and all your commands.

To create a new command, create a new file in src/commands/ping.ts.

import { Command } from 'djs-handlers'

export default new Command({
  name: 'ping',
  description: 'Pings a user!',
  options: [
    {
      name: 'target',
      description: 'The user you want to ping.',
      type: ApplicationCommandOptionType.User,
      required: true,
    }
  ]
  execute: async ({ interaction, args }) => {
    const targetUser = args.getUser('target')

    await interaction.reply(`<@${targetUser.id}>`)
  }
});

To create a new event, create a new file in src/commands/ready.ts.

import { Event } from 'djs-handlers';

export default new Event('ready', (client) => {
  console.log(`Bot is ready! Logged in as ${client.user.tag}`);
});
