Discord-Messages

• A lightweight and easy to use messages framework for discord bots, uses MongoDB.
• If you need help feel free to join our discord server to talk and help you with your code.
• If you encounter any of those fell free to open an issue in our github repository.
• TypeScript supported!

Download & Update

You can download it from npm:

npm i discord-messages

You can update to a newer version to receive updates using npm.

npm update discord-messages

Setting Up

First things first, we include the module into the project.

const Messages = require("discord-messages");

After that, you need to provide a valid mongo database url, and set it. You can do so by:

Messages.setURL("mongodb://..."); // You only need to do this ONCE per process.

Examples

Examples assume that you have setted up the module as presented in 'Setting Up' section. Following examples assume that your Discord.Client is called client.

Following examples assume that your client.on("message", message is called message.

Following example contains isolated code which you need to integrate in your own command handler.

Following example assumes that you are able to write asynchronous code (use await).

• Adding a message to user's database for each Message sent

client.on("message", async (message) => {
  if (!message.guild) return;
  if (message.author.bot) return;

  const AddMessage = await Messages.appendMessage(message.author.id, message.guild.id, 1);
});

• Rank Command

const target = message.mentions.users.first() || message.author; // Grab the target.

const user = await Messages.fetch(target.id, message.guild.id); // Selects the target from the database.

if (!user) return message.channel.send("Seems like this user does not any messages so far..."); // If there isnt such user in the database, we send a message in general.

message.channel.send(`> **${target.tag}** currently has ${user.data.messages} message(s).`); // We show the message(s) count.

• Leaderboard Command

const rawLeaderboard = await Messages.fetchLeaderboard(message.guild.id, 10); // We grab top 10 users with most message(s) in the current server.

if (rawLeaderboard.length < 1) return reply("Nobody's in leaderboard yet.");

const leaderboard = await Messages.computeLeaderboard(client, rawLeaderboard, true); // We process the leaderboard.

const lb = leaderboard.map(e => `${e.position}. ${e.username}#${e.discriminator}\nMessages Count: ${e.messages}`); // We map the outputs.

message.channel.send(`**Leaderboard**:\n\n${lb.join("\n\n")}`);

Is time for you to get creative..

• Output:

Promise<Object>

appendMessage

Messages.appendMessage(<UserID - String>, <GuildID - String>, <Amount - Integer>);

• Output:

Promise<Boolean>

setMessage

It sets the messages to a specified amount and re-calculates the level.

Messages.setMessages(<UserID - String>, <GuildID - String>, <Amount - Integer>);

• Output:

Promise<Boolean/Object>

fetch

Retrives selected entry from the database, if it exists.

Messages.fetch(<UserID - String>, <GuildID - String>, <FetchPosition - Boolean>);

• Output:

Promise<Object>

subtractMessages

It removes a specified amount of messages to the current amount of messages for that user, in that guild.

Messages.subtractMessages(<UserID - String>, <GuildID - String>, <Amount - Integer>);

• Output:

Promise<Boolean/Object>

resetGuild

It deletes the entire guild's data.

Messages.resetGuild(<GuildID - String>);

• Output:

Promise<Boolean/Object>

fetchLeaderboard

It gets a specified amount of entries from the database, ordered from higgest to lowest within the specified limit of entries.

Messages.fetchLeaderboard(<GuildID - String>, <Limit - Integer>);

• Output:

Promise<Array [Objects]>

computeLeaderboard

It returns a new array of object that include messages, guild id, user id, leaderboard position, username and discriminator.

Messages.computeLeaderboard(<Client - Discord.js Client>, <Leaderboard - fetchLeaderboard output>, <fetchUsers - boolean, disabled by default>);
