To play music from local files in discord.js, you can use a library called ytdl-core. Here is an example code snippet to get you started:
- First, install the ytdl-core library by running the following command:
1
|
npm install ytdl-core |
- Now, you can create a command to play music from a local file. Here is an example using the ytdl-core library:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 |
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const ytdl = require('ytdl-core');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.on('message', async message => {
if (message.content === '!play') {
if (message.member.voice.channel) {
const connection = await message.member.voice.channel.join();
const dispatcher = connection.play(ytdl('path_to_your_local_audio_file.mp3'));
dispatcher.on('finish', () => {
message.member.voice.channel.leave();
});
dispatcher.on('error', error => {
console.error(error);
});
} else {
message.reply('You need to join a voice channel first!');
}
}
});
client.login('your_bot_token');

Replace path_to_your_local_audio_file.mp3 with the path to your local audio file. When a user sends the !play command, the bot will join the voice channel and play the specified audio file.
Remember to handle errors and clean up resources after playing the music. You can also add more features to your music bot, such as queueing songs or implementing commands to control playback.
