📦 Installation

npm install euralink

Requirements

• Node.js 16.0.0 or higher
• Discord.js v14 or higher
• Lavalink v4 (recommended) or v3

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Setup

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, GatewayDispatchEvents } = require('discord.js');
const { Euralink } = require('euralink');
const config = require('./config.json')

const client = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildVoiceStates,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent
    ]
});

// Configure your Lavalink nodes
const nodes = [
    {
        name: 'Main Node',
        host: 'localhost',
        password: 'youshallnotpass',
        port: 2333,
        secure: false
    }
];

// Initialize Euralink with V0.3.0 features
const eura = new Euralink(client, nodes, {
    send: (data) => {
        const guild = client.guilds.cache.get(data.d.guild_id);
        if (guild) guild.shard.send(data);
    },
    defaultSearchPlatform: 'ytmsearch',
    
    // NEW V0.3.0: Enhanced performance
    enhancedPerformance: {
        enabled: true,
        connectionPooling: true,
        requestBatching: true,
        memoryOptimization: true
    },
    
    // NEW V0.3.0: Voice channel status updates
    euraSync: {
        enabled: true,
        template: '🎵 {title} by {author}'
    },
    
    // NEW V0.3.0: Bot activity status
    activityStatus: {
        enabled: true,
        template: '🎵 {title} by {author}'
    },
    
    // NEW V0.3.0: Enhanced AutoResume
    resume: {
        enabled: true,
        key: 'euralink-v0.3.0',
        timeout: 60000
    }
});

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log(`🎵 Bot ready! Euralink V0.3.0 initialized.`);
    eura.init(client.user.id);
});

// Essential: Forward Discord voice events
client.on('raw', (d) => {
    if ([GatewayDispatchEvents.VoiceStateUpdate, GatewayDispatchEvents.VoiceServerUpdate].includes(d.t)) {
        eura.updateVoiceState(d);
    }
});

client.login(config.token);

Advanced Music Bot Example

// Play command with V0.3.0 features
client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
    if (!message.content.startsWith('!play ')) return;
    
    const query = message.content.slice(6);
    const player = eura.createConnection({
        guildId: message.guildId,
        voiceChannel: message.member.voice.channel.id,
        textChannel: message.channelId
    });

    const result = await eura.resolve({ query, requester: message.author });
    
    if (result.loadType === 'playlist') {
        player.queue.addMultiple(result.tracks);
        message.reply(`📀 Added **${result.playlistInfo.name}** (${result.tracks.length} tracks)`);
    } else if (result.tracks.length > 0) {
        player.queue.add(result.tracks[0]);
        message.reply(`🎵 Added **${result.tracks[0].info.title}**`);
    }
    
    if (!player.playing) player.play();
});

🎵 V0.3.0 Feature Showcase

🚫 SponsorBlock Integration

Automatically skip unwanted segments in YouTube videos:

// Enable SponsorBlock with custom categories
await player.setSponsorBlockCategories(['sponsor', 'selfpromo', 'interaction']);

// Listen for skipped segments
eura.on('sponsorBlockSegmentSkipped', (player, segment) => {
    console.log(`⏭️ Skipped ${segment.category} segment`);
});

// Check current settings
const categories = await player.getSponsorBlockCategories();
console.log('Active categories:', categories);

🎤 Real-Time Synced Lyrics

Get karaoke-style lyrics that update live:

// Get lyrics for current track
const lyricsResult = await player.getLyrics();

if (lyricsResult.syncedLyrics) {
    // Get current line at any time
    const currentLine = player.getCurrentLyricLine(lyricsResult.syncedLyrics);
    console.log('Now playing:', currentLine);
    
    // Real-time updates
    setInterval(() => {
        const line = player.getCurrentLyricLine(lyricsResult.syncedLyrics);
        updateDisplay(line); // Update your UI
    }, 1000);
}

📖 YouTube Chapter Support

Navigate video content professionally:

// Get chapters for current video
const chapters = player.getChapters();

// Get current chapter
const currentChapter = player.getCurrentChapter();
console.log('Current chapter:', currentChapter.name);

// Listen for chapter changes
eura.on('chapterStarted', (player, chapter) => {
    console.log(`📖 New chapter: ${chapter.name}`);
});

🎛️ Advanced Filter Presets

Apply professional audio effects instantly:

// Apply gaming preset (nightcore + bassboost)
await player.filters.setPreset('gaming');

// Apply party mode (heavy bass + 8D)
await player.filters.setPreset('party');

// Apply chill vibes (lowpass filter)
await player.filters.setPreset('chill');

// Get all available presets
const presets = player.filters.getAvailablePresets();
// ['gaming', 'gaming_hardcore', 'chill', 'lofi', 'party', 'rave', ...]

// Clear all filters back to normal
await player.filters.clearFilters();

// Create custom filter chain
await player.filters.createChain([
    { type: 'bassboost', enabled: true, options: { value: 3 } },
    { type: 'nightcore', enabled: true, options: { rate: 1.2 } }
]);

🛡️ Enhanced Error Recovery

Automatic healing and player migration:

// Automatic player migration on node failure
eura.on('playerMigrated', (player, oldNode, newNode) => {
    console.log(`🔄 Player migrated: ${oldNode.name} → ${newNode.name}`);
    // Music continues seamlessly!
});

// Manual error recovery
await eura.recoverFromError(error, 'manual-recovery');

// Health monitoring
const health = await eura.performHealthCheck();
console.log('System health:', health.overall);

💾 Enhanced AutoResume

Perfect state preservation across restarts:

// Save player states on shutdown
process.on('SIGINT', async () => {
    await eura.savePlayersState('./players.json');
    process.exit(0);
});

// Load player states on startup
client.on('ready', async () => {
    const restored = await eura.loadPlayersState('./players.json');
    console.log(`Restored ${restored} players`);
});

🔄 Migration Guide

From V0.2.x to V0.3.0

✅ Zero Breaking Changes - Your existing code works without modification!

// Your V0.2.x code works as-is
const eura = new Euralink(client, nodes, {
    send: sendFunction,
    restVersion: 'v4',
    dynamicSwitching: true,
    autoResume: true
});

// Optionally upgrade to new features
const eura = new Euralink(client, nodes, {
    send: sendFunction,
    rest: { version: 'v4' },
    node: { dynamicSwitching: true },
    resume: { enabled: true },
    
    // NEW: Enhanced features
    enhancedPerformance: { enabled: true },
    euraSync: { enabled: true }
});

From Other Lavalink Clients

Easy Migration with our compatibility helpers:

// Most other clients follow similar patterns
const player = eura.createConnection({
    guildId: 'your-guild-id',
    voiceChannel: 'voice-channel-id',
    textChannel: 'text-channel-id'
});

// Enhanced with V0.3.0 features
await player.setSponsorBlockCategories(['sponsor']);
const lyrics = await player.getLyrics();
await player.filters.setPreset('gaming');

📈 Production Deployment

Best Practices

1. Multiple Nodes: Always use 2+ Lavalink nodes for redundancy
2. Health Monitoring: Implement health checks for early issue detection
3. AutoResume: Enable player state persistence for zero-downtime restarts
4. Performance: Use enhanced performance options for large bots
5. Error Handling: Implement comprehensive error recovery strategies

Example Production Config

const eura = new Euralink(client, [
    { name: 'Primary', host: 'lava1.yourserver.com', port: 2333, password: 'secure-pass' },
    { name: 'Backup', host: 'lava2.yourserver.com', port: 2333, password: 'secure-pass' }
], {
    send: (data) => client.guilds.cache.get(data.d.guild_id)?.shard.send(data),
    defaultSearchPlatform: 'ytmsearch',
    
    enhancedPerformance: { enabled: true },
    resume: { enabled: true, key: 'prod-resume' },
    node: { dynamicSwitching: true, autoReconnect: true },
    
    // Production monitoring
    debug: false,
    track: { historyLimit: 100 }
});

// Health monitoring
setInterval(async () => {
    const health = await eura.performHealthCheck();
    if (health.overall !== 'healthy') {
        console.warn('🚨 System health degraded:', health);
        // Alert your monitoring system
    }
}, 60000);
