Getting Started
Install DJS Commands, register your first command, and ship a working bot.
This section walks you from a blank directory to a Discord bot that responds to a slash command. If you already have a Discord.js project, jump straight to Your first command.
Fastest path: create-djs-commands
npx create-djs-commands my-bot
cd my-bot
cp .env.example .env # then add your DISCORD_TOKEN
bun run devThe CLI scaffolds the directory layout, tsconfig.json, .env.example, and a working /ping command. Pick one of the templates (minimal, components-v2 showcase, or moderation with Drizzle) and you're online in under a minute.
DJS Commands v2 targets Discord.js v14.26+ and Node.js 22+. Bun 1.2+ is supported and is the development runtime used by the maintainers.
Installation
Add @djs-commands/core to an existing Discord.js project — NPM, pnpm, Bun, Yarn.
Your first command
Define a slash command with defineCommand, wire it into a Client, and respond to interactions.
Prerequisites
- A Discord application + bot token. If you don't have one, follow Discord's Building Your First Bot guide.
- Node.js 22+ or Bun 1.2+ installed.
- A package manager you're comfortable with (
bun,pnpm,npm, oryarn).
