🚀 Installation

# or
yarn add nexus-transcripts
# or
pnpm add nexus-transcripts

🛠️ Quick Start

1. Simple Discord.js Usage

Generate transcripts directly from a text channel. Supports Discord.js v14+ out of the box:

import { Client, GatewayIntentBits, TextChannel } from 'discord.js';
import { createTranscript } from 'nexus-transcripts';
import * as fs from 'fs';

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

client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
  if (message.content === '!transcript') {
    const channel = message.channel as TextChannel;

    // Generate the transcript as an attachment object
    const transcript = await createTranscript(channel, {
      limit: 100, // Load last 100 messages (use -1 for all)
      returnType: 'attachment',
      fileName: `transcript-${channel.name}.html`,
      inlineAvatars: true, // Base64 inline avatars for offline accessibility
      inlineImages: true // Base64 inline images/attachments
    });

    // Send the transcript file in the channel
    await message.reply({
      files: [transcript]
    });
  }
});

client.login('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN');

2. Manual Custom Array Input

If you're not using Discord.js or want to load logs from a custom database or API, use the raw payload generator:

import { generateFromMessages } from 'nexus-transcripts';
import * as fs from 'fs';

// Mock/Custom channel and messages
const channelData = {
  id: '1234567890',
  name: 'ticket-support-04',
  topic: 'Customer billing inquiry transcript',
  guild: {
    name: 'Acme Corp Support',
    iconURL: () => 'https://cdn.discordapp.com/icons/...'
  }
};

const messagesPayload = [
  {
    id: '1000000001',
    createdTimestamp: Date.now() - 3600000,
    author: {
      id: '999999901',
      username: 'Alice',
      displayAvatarURL: () => 'https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/...',
      bot: false
    },
    member: {
      displayName: 'Alice (VIP Client)',
      displayHexColor: '#fbbf24'
    },
    content: 'Hello Support team! I need assistance with my billing.',
    attachments: [],
    embeds: [],
    reactions: []
  },
  {
    id: '1000000002',
    createdTimestamp: Date.now() - 3000000,
    author: {
      id: '999999902',
      username: 'Bob',
      bot: true
    },
    member: {
      displayName: 'Support Assistant',
      displayHexColor: '#6366f1'
    },
    content: 'Hi Alice! Let me check that for you. I will attach your latest invoice below.',
    attachments: [
      {
        id: 'att-1',
        name: 'invoice_may_2026.pdf',
        url: 'https://acme.org/files/invoice.pdf',
        size: 14205,
        contentType: 'application/pdf'
      }
    ],
    embeds: [],
    reactions: [
      { emoji: '👋', count: 1, me: true }
    ]
  }
];

async function main() {
  const htmlContent = await generateFromMessages(messagesPayload, channelData, {
    returnType: 'string', // Return raw HTML string
  });
  
  fs.writeFileSync('custom-transcript.html', htmlContent);
  console.log('Successfully written custom offline transcript!');
}

main();
