Sharding.js

🚀 A high-performance, cross-machine sharding manager for Discord bots.

Sharding.js is an advanced sharding manager designed for Discord bots, enabling seamless communication between multiple shards across different machines using Redis for inter-process communication.

---

📌 Features

• Cross-machine sharding (Supports multiple servers/IPs)
• Redis-based IPC for efficient inter-shard communication
• Auto-reconnect handling to prevent downtime
• Lightweight and dependency-free (No Discord.js required)
• Fully TypeScript-supported with type definitions

---

📦 Installation

npm install sharding.js

---

🛠 Usage

Initialize the Sharding Manager

import { ShardingManager } from "sharding.js";

const manager = new ShardingManager("YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN", 10);
manager.spawnShards(0, 9);

Creating a Custom Shard

import { Shard } from "sharding.js";

const shard = new Shard(0, "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN", 10);
shard.on("event", (event, data) => {
    console.log(`Received event: ${event}`, data);
});
shard.connect();

Cross-Shard Communication

Shards communicate using Redis. You can listen for events from other shards:

shard.on("cross-shard-event", (event, data) => {
    console.log(`Received cross-shard event: ${event}`, data);
});

---

⚙️ Configuration

Ensure Redis is installed and running before using sharding.js.

Start Redis locally with:

redis-server

For multiple machines, configure all instances to use the same Redis server.
