To start the bot locally:
npm install
npm start
Attention: you need to create a bot therefore yourself and insert your Bot Secret Token in the index.js like this:
bot.login(yourSecretToken);
To use the database make sure you setup a proper potsgres environment.
This bot is used for only one server but can be forked and expanded. In our example we use a Postgres Database to store the userdata. By linking the Discord Tag with the Matrikelnumber we try to achieve a certain amount of anonymity. All commands start with the "!" Prefix defined in index.js.
We deployed over Heroku, using a free dyno with a worker that is executing node index.js, this is defined in the Procfile.
By adding PostgreSQL as Add-on and storing the Discord-Bot Token as Config Vars, we can access the values without leaking.
Any Discord Bot needs to be created in the Discord Developer Portal. To dig deeper visit Discord.js.
