Disapp vs Discord.js
Disapp provides all Discord.js features in a better, easier, and faster way.
Simple Button Example
Discord.js (Vanilla)
import { ButtonBuilder, ButtonStyle, ActionRowBuilder } from "discord.js";
const button1 = new ButtonBuilder()
.setCustomId("confirm")
.setLabel("Confirm")
.setStyle(ButtonStyle.Success);
const button2 = new ButtonBuilder()
.setCustomId("cancel")
.setLabel("Cancel")
.setStyle(ButtonStyle.Danger);
const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(button1, button2);
await interaction.reply({
content: "Are you sure?",
components: [row],
});
Disapp
import { confirm } from "@disapp/core";
await interaction.reply({
content: "Are you sure?",
components: [confirm("confirm", "cancel")],
});
Result: 15 lines → 1 line (93% less code)
Creating Embeds
Discord.js (Vanilla)
import { EmbedBuilder } from "discord.js";
const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
.setTitle("Success!")
.setDescription("Operation completed successfully")
.setColor(0x57f287)
.setTimestamp();
await interaction.reply({ embeds: [embed] });
Disapp
import { successEmbed } from "@disapp/core";
await interaction.reply({
embeds: [successEmbed("Success!", "Operation completed successfully")],
});
Result: 8 lines → 1 line (87% less code)
