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)
