Features

• ✅ Full TypeScript Support - Complete type definitions with strict typing
• 🔍 Comprehensive Analysis - Detailed breakdown of Discord intents and capabilities
• 🎯 Smart Recommendations - Context-aware suggestions for missing intents
• ⚠️ Warning System - Detect potential issues and conflicts
• 📊 Capability Detection - Understand what your bot can and cannot do
• 🏗️ Modular Architecture - Well-organized codebase with separate concerns

Installation

npm install discint
# or
pnpm add discint
# or
yarn add discint

Usage

Basic Usage

import { validateDiscordIntents, formatValidationResponse } from "discint";

// Analyze Discord application flags
const flags = 262144; // GATEWAY_MESSAGE_CONTENT
const analysis = validateDiscordIntents(flags);

console.log(analysis.capabilities.canReadMessageContent); // true
console.log(analysis.intents.active.length); // 1
console.log(analysis.recommendations); // Array of recommendations

// Format for API responses
const formatted = formatValidationResponse(analysis);
console.log(formatted.success); // true
console.log(formatted.validation.completeness); // 10 (10% of available intents)

Advanced Usage

import {
  validateDiscordIntents,
  DISCORD_APPLICATION_FLAGS,
  INTENT_CATEGORIES,
  type DiscordIntentsAnalysis,
} from "discint";

// Use constants for specific intents
const myFlags =
  DISCORD_APPLICATION_FLAGS.GATEWAY_MESSAGE_CONTENT |
  DISCORD_APPLICATION_FLAGS.GATEWAY_GUILD_MEMBERS |
  DISCORD_APPLICATION_FLAGS.APPLICATION_COMMAND_BADGE;

const result = validateDiscordIntents(myFlags);

if ("error" in result) {
  console.error("Validation failed:", result.error);
} else {
  // Type-safe access to analysis
  const analysis: DiscordIntentsAnalysis = result;

  console.log("Privileged intents:", analysis.intents.privileged);
  console.log("Bot capabilities:", analysis.capabilities);
  console.log("Warnings:", analysis.warnings);
}
