discord.js is a node module used as a way of interfacing with [Discord](https://discordapp.com/). It is a very useful module for creating bots.

### Installation

**Requires node 0.12+**

`npm install --save discord.js`

If you don't need voice support:

`npm install --save --no-optional discord.js`

---

### Example: ping-pong
```js
var Discord = require("discord.js");

var mybot = new Discord.Client();

mybot.on("message", function(message) {
	if(message.content === "ping") {
		mybot.reply(message, "pong");
    }
});

mybot.loginWithToken("token");
// If you still need to login with email and password, use mybot.login("email", "password");
```

### Contributing

Feel free to contribute! Just clone the repo and edit the files in the **src folder, not the lib folder.**

Whenever you come to making a pull request, make sure it's to the *indev* branch and that you have built the lib files by running `grunt --dev`
