discord-features-handler documentation

DiscordFeaturesHandler is a Discord.js commands, slash commands, and discord events handler that allows you to easily start creating command and event files for your discord.js bot.

You do not need to worry about how to handle and make a command or event run. This package provides a well-versed, all-around handler to create your Discord.js bot. This ensures that all your event, command, and module files are loaded without worrying about how to run these files. The only focus should be on what commands, events, and their functionality you should have for your bot.

DiscordFeaturesHandler is also MongoDB-ready, which means you can create your MongoDB files in the modules folder and we will load them for you! This package also supports TypeScript natively, so you can create your bot in JavaScript or TypeScript, based on your preferences. Currently supporting Discord.js v14.9 or newer.

Check roadmap for whats next update for the package.

const DiscordFeaturesHandler = require("discord-features-handler");

const client = new Client({
 intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages,
  ],
  partials: [Partials.Channel, Partials.Channel],
});

DiscordFeaturesHandler(client, {
  config: "./config.js", // configuration file
  directories: {
    main: __dirname, // local path to your index.js file
  },
});

Notes

discord-features-handler allows you to follow the Discord.js guide with a few changes, such as using a JavaScript file instead of a JSON file for the config file, using the interactionReply function instead of execute for slash commands, and without creating your own handler for loading commands and events file. Also loading your modules files that contains features of your bot.

This is my first npm package that I created due to having three bots that I have created for different purposes, but using the same formats.

This documentation is based on discord.js documentation to have a very similar feel.
