node-red-contrib-discord

This project is deprecated and no longer maintained actively. Consider migrating to node-red-contrib-discord-advanced.

Node-red nodes that allow you to interact with Discord, via Discord.js. Currently, you can write simple request-reply bots with this. Though node-red-contrib-discord is production ready for small bots, it's a new project that might be difficult to use for those unfamiliar with Discord.js. It also hasn't been used yet for large Discord bot deployments.

Installation

Run the following command in ~/.node-red:

npm install node-red-contrib-discord

Nodes

node-red-contrib-discord gives you access to three nodes:

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md for more info, including information regarding breaking changes per version.

Discord.js client sharing

All nodes share Discord.js clients based on the discord-token that they were configured with. That means that, when you add many discordMessage nodes configured with the exact same token, only a single connection with Discord will be made.

Example bot

A simple Discord bot that replies with the reverse of any received message that contains the string 'hello':
