Introduction

This guide makes a best effort attempt at humanizing the use of the Discord.js library, in its current version 13 iteration.

In this guide we make every effort to teach you how to use the library and how to extend it with your own code. We do, however expect you to have a basic understanding of JavaScript before attempting to write bots. Discord.js (and other discord libraries) require some median-to-advanced concepts that might be hard to grasp for anyone that doesn't have a good footing with the language.
