Eris

Coming from Eris? Don't worry, we'll help you move to Dreamcord!

Specifying your token​

On Eris, you might've specified your bot token like this:

index.js
const bot = new Eris("Bot <your bot's token>");

But on Dreamcord, you specify your bot token in the connect function, like this:

index.js
client.connect("<your bot's token>");

This is similar to how discord.js does it.

Specifying intents​

On Eris, you might've specified intents like this:

index.js
const bot = new Eris("Bot <your bot's token>", {
  intents: ["guilds", "guildMessages"],
});

But on Dreamcord, you specify intents using PascalCase instead of camelCase, like this:

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

Or through the Intents enum, like this:

index.js
// Import the `Intents` enum from dreamcord
import { Intents } from "dreamcord";

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

Or maybe even a mix of both!

index.js
// Import the `Intents` enum from dreamcord
import { Intents } from "dreamcord";

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

This is similar to how discord.js and Oceanic does it.

Sending a message​

On Eris, you might've sent messages like this:

index.js
bot.createMessage(message.channel.id, "Hello!");

And for embeds, you might've done this:

index.js
bot.createMessage(message.channel.id, {
  embeds: [
    {
      title: "I'm an embed!",
      description:
        "Here is some more info, with **awesome** formatting.\nPretty *neat*, huh?",
    },
  ],
});

But on Dreamcord, you can send messages by using message.channel.send, like this:

index.js
message.channel.send("Hello!");

Or for embeds, like this:

index.js
message.channel.send({
  embeds: [
    {
      title: "I'm an embed!",
      description:
        "Here is some more info, with **awesome** formatting.\nPretty *neat*, huh?",
    },
  ],
});

This is similar to how discord.js does it.
