Getting started with Discordeno
:::info Discordeno is not intended for beginners, however you can still utilize it. :::
Installation
npm install discordeno # Using npm
If you need more specific packages, you can install them directly for example:

If you are using Typescript you do need to enable strictNullChecks in your TSConfig, or else it may cause issues especially with Desired Properties
Understanding Bot Helpers
Whenever you want to do something on discord, you will need to talk to the discord api. To make this easy, we provide "helpers". For example, to send a message to a channel, you can call the bot.helpers.sendMessage method with the 2 required parameters:
- The ID of the channel that you want to send the message to
- The options of your message
const message = await bot.helpers.sendMessage(channel.id, {
content: 'Hello world. This is test message from Discordeno.',
})
Understanding Desired Properties in Discordeno
By default, discordeno requires you to opt into each property on discord objects. For example, a channel object by default will be {}. If you want details in that channel you must enable those properties as desired properties.
For more details checkout the desired properties docs
