Usage

Setup

import { Node, Cluster } from "lavaclient";

const info = { host: "localhost", port: 2333, password: "youshallnotpass" }

const lavalink = new Node({
    connection: info,
    sendGatewayPayload: (id, payload) => sendWithDiscordLib(id, payload)
});

// or for clustering:

const lavalink = new Cluster({
    nodes: [ { id: "main", ...info } ],
    sendGatewayPayload: (id, payload) => sendWithDiscordLib(id, payload)
});

lavalink.connect("870267613635309618");

Handling Voice Updates

Lavalink requires voice updates to play audio in a voice channel, this may vary from library to library.

What you need for correctly sending voice updates to lavalink:

1. A connection to the Discord gateway.
2. Raw Voice State and Server updates
3. Passing the data of the voice update to (Cluster|Node)#handleVoiceUpdate

Playing Music

const results = await lavalink.rest.loadTracks("ytsearch:never gonna give you up");

await lavalink
    .createPlayer("830616783199010857")
    .connect("830638203739308053")
    .play(results.tracks[0]);

_{this is a very poor way of playing music btw... checkout our discord.js example}
