Type definitions and helpers for Nowly presences.

Install

npm install @nowly/sdk

Zero dependencies.

Presence scripts

Presence and Assets are globals injected by the extension at runtime — no import needed.

const settings = Presence.Settings({
  "show-details": {
    type: "boolean",
    default: true,
    label: { "en-US": "Show details" },
    description: { "en-US": "Display page details on Discord" },
  },
})

const presence = new Presence(settings)

presence.on("UpdateData", (ctx) => {
  presence.setActivity({
    details: "Browsing",
    state: "Some page",
    largeImageKey: Assets.Logo,
    type: PresenceType.Watching,
  })
})

Typed localized strings

Language packs are optional. A presence that uses them can infer its string keys directly from locales/en-US.json, without generating TypeScript files:

import type enUS from "./locales/en-US.json"

const presence = new Presence()

presence.on("UpdateData", async () => {
  const locale = await presence.getStrings<typeof enUS>()

  await presence.setActivity({
    details: presence.formatString(locale.watchingVideo, { title: "My video" }),
  })
})

The type-only import is removed from the bundle. It gives editors autocomplete for every key declared in en-US.json and makes unknown keys a TypeScript error. Presences without language packs can continue using inline strings and do not need to call getStrings().

Use {name} placeholders in locale values and formatString(template, params) to inject dynamic values. Unknown placeholders are left unchanged.

Helpers

import { createMediaTimestamps, PresenceType } from "@nowly/sdk"
import type { PresenceData } from "@nowly/sdk"

createMediaTimestamps(videoElement)
// => { startTimestamp: number, endTimestamp: number } | {}
