Releases · timotejroiko/discord.js-light

Version 3.0.0 marks the next major release, featuring a complete overhaul and redefinition of the goals and direction of this lib towards a more standardized and general-purpose approach.

This release removes all of the convenience methods and focuses solely on cache control with as little interference as possible. V2's convenience methods can easily be re-added by users if needed.

Important changes compared to v2:

library now directly accesses discord.js's internal event handlers, which grants more control over caching and should produce less bugs, inconsistencies and/or strange behaviors
added the cacheGuilds, cacheChannels, cacheOverwrites, cacheRoles, cacheEmojis and cachePresences client options
added the client.sweepUsers() and client.sweepChannels() methods
no longer caches channels when sending
no longer caches users when replying
reworked all .fetch() methods for consistency and some new possibilities
added .forge() methods to enable cache-less API interactions
added shardConnect and guildEmojisUpdate events
reverted the message and messageUpdate events back to default functionality
removed the token client option and auto-login feature
removed the enablePermissions, enableChannels and trackPresences client options in favor of cacheRoles, cacheOverwrites, cacheChannels and cachePresences
removed the clientSweepInterval, userCacheLifetime, channelCacheLifetime, shardCheckInterval and queueLimit client options and their functionality
removed the modified settings for shards, intents, messageCacheMaxSize, messageCacheLifetime and messageSweepInterval back to the same defaults as discord.js
removed all internal loggers and event listeners
removed the internal raw event listener as the library now directly accesses discord.js's internal event handlers instead
reverted message.reply() back to default functionality
removed client.sweepInactive() in favor of client.sweepUsers() and client.sweepChannels()
removed the client.checkShards(), client.getInfo() and message.eval() methods
removed the message.commandMessage, message.commandResponseTime, user.lastActive, user.noSweep, channel.lastActive and channel.noSweep properties
