Setting Up

First things first, we include the module into the project.

const MessageParser = require("discord-message-parser");
const { SpoilerParser, EmojiParser } = MessageParser;

Examples

Examples assume that you have setted up the module as presented in 'Setting Up' section. Following examples assume that your Discord.Client is called client.

Following examples assume that your client.on("message", message is called message.

Following example contains isolated code which you need to integrate in your own command handler.

• Counting emojis in a message:

client.on("message", (message) => {
  const emojiCount = EmojiParser.countEmojis(message.content);
  console.log(emojiCount);
  /*  Sample output: 
     {
       custom: 1,
       animated: 0,
       unicode: 2,
       total: 3
     }
  */
});

• Parsing emojis in a message:

client.on("message", (message) => {
  const messageEmojis = EmojiParser.parseEmojis(message.content);
  console.log(messageEmojis);
  /* Sample output:
  {
      custom: [{ name: "doggo", id: "393852367751086090", raw: "<:doggo:393852367751086090>", animated: false, unicode: false }],
      customAnimated: [{ name: "dogdance", id: "663013890376073257", raw: "<:dogdance:663013890376073257>", animated: true, unicode: false }],
      customEmojis: [{ name: "doggo", id: "393852367751086090", raw: "<:doggo:393852367751086090>", animated: false, unicode: false }, { name: "dogdance", id: "663013890376073257", raw: "<:dogdance:663013890376073257>", animated: true, unicode: false }],
      unicode: [{ name: null, id: null, raw: "⏱️", animated: null, unicode: true }, { name: null, id: null, raw: "☕", animated: null, unicode: true }],
      allEmojis: [{ name: "doggo", id: "393852367751086090", raw: "<:doggo:393852367751086090>", animated: false, unicode: false }, { name: "dogdance", id: "663013890376073257", raw: "<:dogdance:663013890376073257>", animated: true, unicode: false }, { name: null, id: null, raw: "⏱️", animated: null, unicode: true }, { name: null, id: null, raw: "☕", animated: null, unicode: true }]
  }
  */
});

• Parsing spoilers in a message:

client.on("message", (message) => {
  const messageSpoilers = SpoilerParser.parseSpoilers(message.content);
  console.log(messageSpoilers);
  /* Sample Output
  [
    { content: 'is killed', raw: '||is killed||' },
    { content: 'married tom', raw: '||married tom||' }
  ]
  */
});
