Targets official discord.js@^14.27.0 on Bare >=1.29.4.
Bootstrap remaps Node builtins through [email protected] (bare-fetch, bare-ws, bare-sqlite, …).
REST uses the @discordjs/rest web/fetch build; gateway uses ws over Bare TLS.

Usage

CommonJS

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Events } = require('bare-discord-js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });
client.once(Events.ClientReady, (readyClient) => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${readyClient.user.tag}`);
});

ESM

import { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Events } from 'bare-discord-js';
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });
client.once(Events.ClientReady, (readyClient) => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${readyClient.user.tag}`);
});

Use Events.ClientReady (clientReady). discord.js 14.27 still emits ready with a deprecation warning; Events.Ready is aliased to clientReady so it stays current.

Scripts

npm run patch:runtime-deps - applies reproducible runtime compatibility patches to installed dependencies.
npm run sync:imports-map - copies bare-node-runtime/imports into the shipped Node→Bare map.
npm run analyze - generates runtime/dependency inventories.
npm run verify-bootstrap-load - validates CJS/ESM bootstrap loading.
npm run generate-patches - writes patch manifest placeholders.
npm run apply-patches - validates patch manifest integrity.
npm run test:parity - verifies baseline API parity surface.
npm run test:bare - loads the library under the bare runtime.
npm run release:verify - checks required release artifacts.

Example Bot

bare examples/basic-bot.cjs - runs a minimal gateway login bot using .env (DISCORD_TOKEN=...).

Runtime Patch Config

Runtime dependency patch rules are versioned in patches/runtime-dependency-patches.json.
scripts/patch-runtime-deps.mjs applies those rules after install (postinstall) and in CI.

Project Layout

src/bootstrap - runtime import-map/global bootstrap.
src/adapters - compatibility adapters for runtime deltas.
scripts - analysis, patching, sync, release automation.
test - parity and smoke harness.
patches - patch metadata and fallback import mappings.

Roadmap

Add real gateway/REST/voice conformance integration runs under Bare.
Automate upstream v14 sync with patch rebase + report generation.
