Lightweight Discord client for Node.js.
Provides access to Discord client gateway and API for Clients. You will probably get banned for this, i dont take responsability. Very minimalistic way without excessive abstractions and dependencies. Also with very low resources usage.
Make sure you have some understaning of Discord API.

npm i discord-slim
const Discord = require('discord-slim');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.Auth('BOT_TOKEN');
client.Connect(Discord.Intents.GUILDS | Discord.Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES);
// Listen for intent packets
client.on('packet', packet => {
// packet.t contains intent type
// packet.d contains intent data
if(packet.t == 'MESSAGE_CREATE')
HandleMessage(packet.d);
});
You can read about possible intents here and here.
Auth
and Connect
functions are separated because API requests doesn't actually require connection to the gateway. This is useful if you want only a script that just sends some requests without actual client connection.
const Discord = require('discord-slim');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.Auth('BOT_TOKEN');
// client.Connect() is not required if you don't need to listen intents
const Routes = Discord.Routes;
// Post a message in some channel
client.Request('POST', Routes.Channel('CHANNEL_ID') + '/messages', { content: 'Hello!' });
