# Discord.js Guide

Imagine a guide... that explores the many possibilities for your [discord.js](https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js) bot.

## About

This guide is aimed at users who are either unfamiliar or inexperienced with Node.js and creating Discord bots. It assumes you have a basic understanding of JavaScript.

There are many different subjects covered, such as:

- How to get a bot [up and running](https://discordjs.guide/preparations/) from scratch;

- How to properly [create](https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/), [organize](https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-handling.html), and expand on your commands;

- In-depth explanations and examples regarding popular topics (e.g. [reactions](https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/reactions.html), [embeds](https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/embeds.html), [canvas](https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/canvas.html));

- Working with databases (e.g. [sequelize](https://discordjs.guide/sequelize/) and [keyv](https://discordjs.guide/keyv/));

- Getting started with [sharding](https://discordjs.guide/sharding/);

- And much more.
