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
