node-red-contrib-discord

Node-red nodes that allow you to interact with Discord, via Discord.js. Currently, you can write simple request-reply bots with this. Though node-red-contrib-discordjs is production ready for small bots, it's a new project that might be difficult to use for those unfamiliar with Discord.js. It also hasn't been used yet for large Discord bot deployments.

Warning : nodejs >= 14.0.0 is required to run discordjs v12.

Installation

We recommend to install it with the node-red palette manager.

Run the following command in ~/.node-red:

npm install node-red-contrib-discordjs

Nodes

node-red-contrib-discord gives you access to three nodes:

• Connect is a node with no inputs and one output allowing you to receive notifications of incoming messages.
• SendMessage is a node with one input and no outputs allowing you to send messages to a Discord channel.
• Sendembed is a node with one input and no outputs allowing you to send embed messages to a Discord channel.

Discord.js client sharing

All nodes share Discord.js clients based on the discord-token that they were configured with. That means that, when you add many discordMessage nodes configured with the exact same token, only a single connection with Discord will be made.
