# Getting started with Discordeno
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
Discordeno is not intended for beginners, however you can still utilize it.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install discordeno # Using npm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you need more specific packages, you can install them directly for example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install @discordeno/types # Using npm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Typescript
|
|
|
|
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-desired-properties-in-discordeno)
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
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](./desired-properties.md)
