Discord.json

An attempt at documenting switches in the Discord settings.json

Know anything not mentioned in here? Make a PR! All contributions welcome!

It is very easy to contribute! Everything is just JSDoc in settings.json.d.ts!

README.md is gitignored because the bot will always generate it.

If you wanna give it a go locally, just run npm i & npx typedoc.

The prepend.md file is what is attached to the top of the documentation.

Config File location

Windows

Linux

MacOS

~/Library/Application Support/discord/settings.json

Note

DANGEROUS_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS_ONLY_ENABLE_IF_YOU_KNOW_WHAT_YOURE_DOING is excluded from the table because it messes up my tables. This is just the boolean toggle for Chromium devtools in Discord. On builds other than stable, it defaults to true
