@ovencord/rest

High-performance, Bun-native Discord REST client.

@ovencord/rest is a modernized fork of @ovencord/rest, rebuilt from the ground up to leverage the full power of the Bun runtime. It maintains 100% API compatibility with the original package while offering superior performance and zero legacy bloat.

🥟 Why Ovencord-REST?

| Feature | @ovencord/rest | @ovencord/rest | |---------|-----------------|----------------| | Runtime | Node.js | Bun Native | | HTTP Client | undici (Legacy) | Bun.fetch (Native Zig) | | File Handling | node:fs / Buffer | Bun.file / Uint8Array | | Dependencies | ~10+ | Minimal | | Build Step | Required (CJS/ESM) | None (Source-only) | | Speed | Standard | Up to 2x faster request cycle |

✨ Architectural Shift

We replaced the complex undici dispatcher and Node.js-specific stream handling with a clean, Web-Standard implementation powered by Bun's native Zig-accelerated fetch.

📦 Installation

Bun 1.0.0 or newer is required.

bun add @ovencord/rest

🚀 Examples

Send a basic message

import { REST } from '@ovencord/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN!);

try {
	await rest.post(Routes.channelMessages(CHANNEL_ID), {
		body: {
			content: 'Cooked with Bun! 🥟',
		},
	});
} catch (error) {
	console.error(error);
}

Uploading a file (Bun Native)

import { REST } from '@ovencord/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);

await rest.post(Routes.channelMessages(CHANNEL_ID), {
	files: [
		{
			attachment: Bun.file('./logo.png'),
			name: 'logo.png',
		},
	],
});

🛠️ Performance Features

• Zero-Copy: Optimized binary handling using Uint8Array instead of Buffer where possible.
• Native Fetch: Uses Bun's specialized fetch implementation for lower overhead.
• Source-Only: No more dist folders. Bun loads the TypeScript source directly, leading to faster startup times and better stack traces.
