Module client

A module for Client and supporting types.

The Client contains information about a single bot’s token, as well as event handlers. Dispatching events to configured handlers and starting the shards’ connections are handled directly via the client. In addition, the http module and Cache are also automatically handled by the Client module for you.

A Context is provided for every handler.

The http module is the lower-level method of interacting with the Discord REST API. Realistically, there should be little reason to use this yourself, as the Context will do this for you. A possible use case of using the http module is if you do not have a Cache, for purposes such as low memory requirements.
