Getting started with Typescript and discord.js/voice
Hi, I presume that discord.js/voice is typescript only. Are there any recommended getting started tutorials for discord.js/voice?
I tried this one but after a few hours, I couldn't reconcile the commonjs/es module mess (I dare say it's worse than python) 😺

Even just a
package.json and tsconfig.json for reference would be handy.
Thank you!

npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

- ✅ Marked as resolved by OPits not typescript only you can use typescript dependencies with javascript
I suppose if I really wanted to be masochistic I could take that approach! LOL even then, I'd still be in the mess of having to compile the TS, and dealing with the myriad of combinations for the
All of this comes about since the
module and target settings . . .
In fact, npm run dev and npm run build works from that particular demo. npm run start fails when js comes across the export in the "compiled" (?) ts -> js files.All of this comes about since the
deploy-commands is setup to execute when a guild is added, but that's not very useful for development.
I have multiple bots running using javascript informed by the main discord.js guides and documentation. But since discord.js/voice is typeface, I now need to explore this rabbit hole!
I think having a reference package.json and tsconfig.json files for discord.js/voice would be helpful, if anyone has those to share.
(I'm also trying sort out ts-node, vs tsup vs tsc vs npx tsc etc. -- this is def worse than python! 😸 LOL)
