# About



eris-sharder is a powerful sharding manager for the discord Eris library. It uses Node.js's cluster module to spread shards evenly among all the cores.



# Installation and usage

To download eris-sharder, run `npm install eris-sharder --save`



To use eris-sharder, simply copy this code and place it in a file, in the same directory that you ran the npm install in:



```javascript

const Sharder = require('eris-sharder').Master;

const sharder = new Sharder(token, pathToMainFile, options);

```



## Options

| Name  | Description |

| ------------- | ------------- |

| `token`  | your discord bot token. It will be used to calculate how many shards to spawn and to pass it on to your main file.  |

| `pathToMainFile`  | path to a file that exports a class. The class must containt a method called "launch". In the constructor the only paramater you should put is for the bot.  |

| `options.stats` | boolean. When set to true it enables stats output. |

| `options.webhooks` | Object.```{shard: {id: "webhookID", token: "webhookToken"}, cluster:{id: "webhookID", token: "webhookToken"}}```|

| `options.clientOptions` | A object of client options you want to pass to the Eris client constructor.|

| `options.clusters` | The number of how many clusters you want. Defaults to the amount of threads |

| `options.clusterTimeout` | Number of seconds between starting up clusters. Values lower than 5 may lead to an Invalid Session on first shard. |

| `options.shards` | The number of total shards you plan to run. Defaults to the amount that the gateway reccommends, taking into account `options.guildsPerShard` |

| `options.firstShardID` | ID of the first shard to start on this instance. Defaults to `0` |

| `options.lastShardID` | ID of the last shard to start on this instance. Defaults to `options.shards - 1` |

| `options.debug` | Boolean to enable debug logging.|

|`options.statsInterval` | Interval to release the stats event in milliseconds. Defaults to every minute

| `options.name` | Name to print on startup. By default it's "Eris-Sharder".|

| `options.guildsPerShard` | Number to calculate how many guilds per shard. Defaults to 1300. Overriden if you only have 1 shard.|

# IPC

eris-sharder supports a variety of IPC events. All IPC events can be used via `process.send({type: "event"});`



## Logging

eris-sharder supports the following IPC logging events.



| Name  | Example                                          | Description                      |

|-------|--------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|

| log   | `process.send({name: "log", msg: "example"});`   | Logs to console with gray color. |

| info  | `process.send({name: "info", msg: "example"});`  | Logs to console in green color.  |

| debug | `process.send({name: "debug", msg: "example"});` | Logs to console in cyan color.   |

| warn  | `process.send({name: "warn", msg: "example"});`  | Logs to console in yellow color. |

| error | `process.send({name: "error", msg: "example"});` | Logs to console in red color.    |



## Info

In every cluster when your code is loaded, if you extend the Base class you get access to `this.bot`, `this.clusterID`, and  `this.ipc`. `this.ipc` has a couple methods which you can find very useful.



| Name         | Example                                   | Description                                                                           |

|--------------|-------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| register     | `this.ipc.register(event, callback);`     | Using this you can register to listen for events and a callback that will handle them |

| unregister   | `this.ipc.unregister(event);`             | Use this to unregister for an event                                                   |

| broadcast    | `this.ipc.broadcast(name, message);`      | Using this you can send a custom message to every cluster                             |

| sendTo       | `this.ipc.sendTo(cluster, name, message)` | Using this you can send a message to a specific cluster                               |

| fetchUser    | `await this.ipc.fetchUser(id)`            | Using this you can search for a user by id on all clusters                            |

| fetchGuild   | `await this.ipc.fetchGuild(id)`           | Using this you can search for a guild by id on all clusters                           |

| fetchChannel | `await this.ipc.fetchChannel(id)`         | Using this you can search for a channel by id on all clusters                         |



# Example

## Directory Tree

In this example the directory tree will look something like this:

```

Project/

├── node-modules/

│   ├── eris-sharder

|

├── src/

│   ├── main.js

│   

├── index.js

```



## Example of main.js

```javascript

const Base = require('eris-sharder').Base;

class Class extends Base{

    constructor(bot) {

        super(bot);

    }



    launch() {



    }



}



module.exports = Class;

```



## Example of index.js

```javascript

const Sharder = require('eris-sharder').Master;

const sharder = new Sharder("someToken", "/src/main.js", {

  stats: true,

  debug: true,

  guildsPerShard: 1500,

  name: "ExampleBot",

  webhooks: {

    shard: {

      id: "webhookID",

      token: "webhookToken"

    },

     cluster: {

      id: "webhookID",

      token: "webhookToken"

    }

  },

  clientOptions: {

      messageLimit: 150,

      defaultImageFormat: "png"

  }

});



sharder.on("stats", stats => {

  console.log(stats);

});

```



## Starting the script



```

node index.js

```



## NOTICE



If you are using pm2 to run your script add the `-- --colors` option to enable the colorful logging.
