This project acted mainly as a refresher to webhook management, type safety, etc. It's been a while since I've even touched an API and while it achieved it's goal of helping me "deoxidize the rust", I was interested more in providing a 100% API coverage, type safe, and limitless Discord API NPM module.
It has become very obvious to me this was not a good idea. The stress it was inducing was... something else. After taking some time off of this project, I've come to realize covering the entire Discord API is too much for a one-man team to cover. I tried advertising it to get some help to no avail, just thinking about this project made me dread even opening VS Code, and probably most importantly, I was staying up until 3 A.M. every night just trying to get this project over with... only to cover 1% of the expansive Discord API.
I apologize to anyone interested in this project, but honestly, Discord.js is and always will be a much better option to go for.
If this project picks up in popularity I might continue it and optimize the code, but for now, consider it publically archived.
Friction is an object-oriented Discord API wrapper built for ease of use.
To install friction.ts, simply run npm install friction.ts
import { Client, Intents, Events } from 'friction.ts';
const client = new Client([Intents.GUILDS, Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES]);
client.on(Events.Ready, () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user!.tag}`);
});
client.on(Events.MessageCreate, async (message: Message) => {
if(message.author.bot) return;
const channel = await (new Channel(client, message.channelId)).get();
if(message.content.toLowerCase() === 'hello bot') {
channel?.send('Hello!');
}
});
client.login('your-bot-token');More examples found here.
