Installation

Node.js 18.0.0 or newer is required.

$ npm i necord discord.js
$ yarn add necord discord.js
$ pnpm add necord discord.js

Usage

Once the installation process is complete, we can import the NecordModule into the root AppModule:

import { NecordModule } from 'necord';
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AppUpdate } from './app.update';

@Module({
    imports: [
        NecordModule.forRoot({
            token: 'DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN',
            intents: ['Guilds', 'GuildMessages', 'DirectMessages']
        })
    ],
    providers: [AppUpdate]
})
export class AppModule {
}

Then create app.update.ts file and add On/Once decorators for handling Discord API events:

import { Injectable, Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Context, On, Once, ContextOf } from 'necord';
import { Client } from 'discord.js';

@Injectable()
export class AppUpdate {
    private readonly logger = new Logger(AppUpdate.name);

    public constructor(private readonly client: Client) {
    }
    
    @Once('ready')
    public onReady(@Context() [client]: ContextOf<'ready'>) {
        this.logger.log(`Bot logged in as ${client.user.username}`);
    }

    @On('warn')
    public onWarn(@Context() [message]: ContextOf<'warn'>) {
        this.logger.warn(message);
    }
}
