Server Config

By default, Dressed uses an opinionated server system that includes file layout and bundling. While the opinionated part has been separated from the vital server functionality, if you create a custom system using those functions, this config may still pertain to you.

Many of the options here are also parameters in the dressed build function, using them in the command will override the value in your config file.

The config file is named dressed.config.ts, although other JS filetypes will work (including .json).

Example config

import { patchInteraction } from "@dressed/react";
import type { ServerConfig } from "dressed/server";
 
export default {
  endpoint: "/bot",
  port: 3000,
  build: { extensions: ["tsx", "ts"], root: "src/bot" },
  middleware: {
    commands: (i) => [patchInteraction(i)],
    components: (i, a) => [patchInteraction(i), a],
  },
} satisfies ServerConfig;

Config breakdown

Endpoint

The endpoint to listen on, the default for this is /.

Port

The port to listen on, the default for this is 8000.

Build root

This is the source root that the server uses when assembling files, the default is src.

Build extensions

The file extensions are used when bundling handlers and determine which files to include, by default it is ["js", "ts", "mjs"].

Middleware

Middleware functions are executed right before your actual handlers. The values returned from them are used as the props passed to your handler.

If you don't want to modify the handler's props, directly return the middleware's props.

Here's an example of some middleware:

{
    // Passthroughed props
    commands(...props) {
        console.log("Middleware!")
        return props
    },
    // Modified props
    components: (interaction, args) => [patchInteraction(interaction), args]
}

Requests

These values will set the default call configuration for every API request. It can still be overriden on a per-request basis by setting the $req prop.

{
  requests: {
    authorization: "Bot TOKEN",
    routeBase: "https://proxy.example.com";
  }
}

createMessage("CHANNEL_ID", "Hello, world", { authorization: "Bot OTHER_TOKEN" });
