Types for discord.js with TypeScript
So, I've tried to install
@types/discord.js, however I get a 404 error. Where can I find types for discord.js?17 Replies
The types are shipped with discord.js inbuilt
discord.js provides full typescript support by default/on install
Oh, so do I need to import them or? For example when defining a client:
Can I just do it like that? The
{something: "a"} part gives me an error because it isn't a client option, so I guess that's correct?yes
something: "a" is not an option
but intents are• Websocket intents limit events and decrease memory usage: learn more
• See what intents you need here
Right! Thank you a lot!
Just starting with TypeScript and this looks very cool!
Also, is there a place where I can find all types in discord.js, for example in the ready event?

on top of every file or just the index one?

this is incorrect, it imports discord.js with the name

I'll deffinitely refer to this later, but since I'm just starting with TS, I'll import needed types at the top of the file when I need them

:)
Also, for anyone else looking at this in the future, just discovered there is a blue TS icon (picture above) on the npm site, when a library has built-in TS declarations.
i don't see the reason for that
that's considered best practice anyways
The answer is the docs
Discord.js
Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.
