# Stable... and the development one (unstable)...
# Using NPM
npm install hoshimi # Stable
npm install hoshimi@dev # Development
# Or any package manager you use...
You can read the test bot or you can follow this one:
import { Hoshimi } from "hoshimi"; // She is all ears!
import { Client } from "seyfert"; // Only example client, you can use whatever you want...
const client = new Client(); // https://www.seyfert.dev/guide
const hoshimi = new Hoshimi({
nodes: [
{
host: "localhost",
port: 2333,
password: "youshallnotpass",
},
], // Add more nodes if you want!
sendPayload(guildId, payload) {
// Your client send to shard payload function
client.gateway.send(client.gateway.calculateShardId(guildId), payload);
},
});
// Bind the manager into your client!
client.hoshimi = hoshimi;
// FOLLOW YOUR CLIENT EVENT IMPLEMENTATION
// THIS IS ONLY A EXAMPLE, NOT A REAL USAGE
client.events.values.READY = {
__filePath: null,
data: { name: "ready", once: true },
run(user, client) {
client.logger.info(`Logged in as ${user.username}`);
// Call the manager to initialize hoshimi
hoshimi.init({ ...user, username: user.username });
},
};
client.events.values.RAW = {
__filePath: null,
data: { name: "raw" },
async run(data, client) {
// Call the handler on the gateway dispatch events
await hoshimi.updateVoiceState(data);
},
};
(async () => {
await client.start();
})();The manager is an EventEmitter, and every event is typed by name β the handler's arguments come from
the event you listen to, so there is nothing to annotate:
import { DebugLevels, EventNames } from "hoshimi";
hoshimi.on(EventNames.NodeReady, (node) => {
console.log(`Node ${node.id} is ready.`);
});
hoshimi.on(EventNames.TrackStart, (player, track) => {
console.log(`Now playing "${track?.info.title}" in ${player.guildId}`);
// `player.textId` is the channel the player was created with, if you set one.
});
hoshimi.on(EventNames.QueueEnd, async (player) => {
console.log(`Nothing left to play in ${player.guildId}`);
await player.destroy();
});
hoshimi.on(EventNames.PlayerDestroy, (player, reason) => {
console.log(`Player for ${player.guildId} destroyed: ${reason}`);
});
hoshimi.on(EventNames.NodeError, (node, error) => console.error(`Node ${node.id} failed:`, error));
hoshimi.on(EventNames.Error, (error) => console.error(error));Debug is a single event carrying its level, so you decide how much of it reaches your logs:
hoshimi.on(EventNames.Debug, (level, message) => {
if (level === DebugLevels.Player) console.debug(message);
});EventNames is only a convenience β hoshimi.on("trackStart", ...) is the same listener, typed the
same way. There are events for nodes, players, tracks, the queue and lyrics; your editor will list
them all from the enum.
A filter is active while its key is in the payload. There is no "off" payload: clear removes the key,
and isEnabled is presence.
import { FilterType } from "hoshimi";
const player = hoshimi.getPlayer("guildId");
await player.filterManager.setNightcore();
await player.filterManager.set(FilterType.Echo, { delay: 200, decay: 0.5 });
player.filterManager.isEnabled(FilterType.Echo); // true
player.filterManager.getEnabled(); // ["timescale", "echo"]
player.filterManager.get(FilterType.Timescale); // TimescaleSettings | undefined
await player.filterManager.clear(FilterType.Echo);
await player.filterManager.reset(); // drops every filterset and get are typed per filter, so the payload of a built-in is checked for you β set(FilterType.Volume, { nope: true }) does not compile.
Filters Hoshimi has never heard of work too β a fork's own filters, a plugin you wrote, anything. The envelope comes from the options:
// pluginFilters.myFilter β the extension point the Lavalink v4 spec defines
await player.filterManager.set("myFilter", { gain: 2 });
// pluginFilters["my-plugin"].boost β nested, per the spec's plugin shape
await player.filterManager.set("boost", { gain: 2 }, { plugin: "my-plugin" });
// filters.forkEcho β top level, next to the built-ins, where forks expose theirs
await player.filterManager.set("forkEcho", { decay: 0.5 }, { top: true });
// Clear it from the same envelope it was written to
await player.filterManager.clear("boost", { plugin: "my-plugin" });Hoshimi does not check which server it is talking to, so whether a fork-specific filter is safe to send is up to you: point the player at a node that understands it.
Registering a filter is optional. Do it to get routing by name β no options at the call site β plus a
check against what the node advertises in /v4/info:
import { FilterRegistry, FilterScope, PluginCapabilities } from "hoshimi";
FilterRegistry.register({
name: "boost",
scope: FilterScope.Plugin, // Plugin -> pluginFilters Β· Core -> top level
pluginName: "my-plugin", // omit to write it flat under pluginFilters
capability: PluginCapabilities.Filters,
});
await player.filterManager.set("boost", { gain: 2 }); // routed and validatedset(name, payload, { validate: false }) skips that check when a node fails to advertise a filter it
actually supports.
To type a filter of your own, declare its payload β the key is the filter name, the value is what it
takes. That gives you autocompletion for the name and a checked payload in set and get:
declare module "hoshimi" {
interface CustomizableFilters {
forkEcho: { decay: number; delay: number };
}
}
await player.filterManager.set("forkEcho", { decay: 0.5, delay: 200 }, { top: true });
player.filterManager.get("forkEcho", { top: true }); // { decay: number; delay: number } | undefinedA filter nobody declared takes unknown, so ad-hoc payloads keep working without any of this.

I'm currently working on this package.
This package takes some ideas provided from libraries like:

I'm taking their job as a base for this project, I love their job, all of them, I just took some
stuff because i'm too lazy to make my own.
If anyone of them wants to
talk to me to remove their stuff, they can.
But made with my code style and my knowledge and of course up-to-date.
