Simplifying API Requests

Here's the code I'm using:

import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken('xxxxxxxx');

rest.request({
    fullRoute: Routes.channelMessages('xxxxxxxxxx'),
    method: 'POST',
    body: {
        content: 'test'
    }
});

import { REST, Routes } from 'discord.js';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken('xxxxxxxx');

rest.request({
    fullRoute: Routes.channelMessages('xxxxxxxxxx'),
    method: 'POST',
    body: {
        content: 'test'
    }
});

It works well, but I have one question: Is there a way to send requests without specifying the method? I'd like to just send requests to the endpoint without specifying the method each time.

- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue?

$ npm list discord.js && node -v [email protected] C:\Program Files\Git\projects\botstudio └── [email protected] v22.1.0 I just want to see if it's possible to not specify the request method each time when sending requests. Perhaps consider leveraging one of Discord.js's built-in methods to determine the required request method for each endpoint.

If you're using discord.js, use tools it provides

await client.channels.get('id').send(options);

await client.channels.get('id').send(options);

Else you can use @discordjs/core

import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { API } from '@discordjs/core/http-only';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken('xxxxxxxx');
const api = new API(rest);

await api.channels.createMessage('channelId', options);

import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { API } from '@discordjs/core/http-only';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken('xxxxxxxx');
const api = new API(rest);

await api.channels.createMessage('channelId', options);

Thanks! That's exactly what I meant, but can I use it without installing another package? Just using 'discord.js'

Currently discord.js doesn't include /core
