Space

Space is currently under heavy development and is therefore highly unrecommended for production. Any contributions are greatly appreciated. The contributing guide contains further instructions.

Space is a collection of fast, scalable, low-level Deno modules for interacting with the Discord API.

Install

Each module must be imported individually. For most end-users, importing the client module should be sufficient. For more proficient users, the core modules are public and available for use. They can be viewed here.

The Deno manual provides a more in-depth explanation about dependency management in Deno.

export * from "https://deno.land/x/space@0.11.0-alpha/core/client/mod.ts";

The release notes contains all available versions.

Latest (not recommended for production):

export * from "https://github.com/apacheli/space/raw/dev/core/client/mod.ts";

Getting Started

Run an example directly from the CLI:

deno run --allow-env --allow-net https://deno.land/x/space@0.11.0-alpha/examples/example.ts

More examples are available here.

A simple program using Space to power a Discord bot:

import { Client, GatewayIntents } from "./deps.ts";

const token = Deno.env.get("BOT_TOKEN") ?? prompt("bot token:");
if (!token) {
  throw new TypeError("An invalid bot token was provided.");
}

const client = new Client(`Bot ${token}`);

(async () => {
  for await (const [message, shard] of client.gateway.onMessageCreate()) {
    if (message.content === "!ping") {
      client.http.createMessage(message.channelId, {
        content: "pong!",
      });
    }
  }
})();

client.gateway.connect({
  intents: GatewayIntents.GuildMessages,
});

To run it:

deno run --allow-env --allow-net main.ts

The module reference is available at the generated documentation.
