My friends challenged me to build a music discord bot for our server, and I thought it would be a very fun side project!

There are many options to fetch music with node.js such as using ffmpeg and the youtube API - but I went with Lavalink as it offers a more performant service.

Here was the challenge:

• Integrating typescript for bug-free code
• Installing lavalink server
• Using erela.js as a client for Lavalink
• Building a music command from scratch
• Building a playlist command from scratch

• Node.js - JS runtime
• Dicsord.js - JS library
• Erela.js - Lavalink client
• MongoDB - Document database
• Typescript

• Bot deployed on Repl.it
• Lavlink server deployed on Repl.it based on Darren's repo: https://github.com/DarrenOfficial/lavalink-replit
