DEVIE Bot 🤖

it's probably nothing

TL;DR

Devie is a discord bot by the devs for the devs. Currently acts as an aggregator of content for the #newsletter team. Also, this bot will allow members of the DAO to use /slash commands in Discord to interact with our Airtable knowledgebase. Will be expanded on greatly in the future. ✨

How it Works

1. Upvote posts in either #🔮-probably-nothing or #learning-resources by reacting with a 📰 (:newspaper:)
2. Five 📰 will trigger the bot to post into the #newsletter channel (might be updated)
3. The team will use these votes to further curate the newsletter 🤙

Development Setup

1. Fork the devie-bot repository into your GitHub account

2. Clone the fork to your local system

git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USER_NAME/devie-bot.git

3. Install Node modules

npm install

4. Create a .env file at the root of the project

touch .env

5. Follow this tutorial to create a Discord bot. Then, update your .env with the DISCORD_TOKEN, CLIENT_ID values created during the tutorial.

# .env

DISCORD_TOKEN=abc
CLIENT_ID=123

6. We also need to add our GUILD_ID to the .env file. We also need POST_TO, CURATE_FROM and POST_THRESHOLD for the curation portion. In discord, with developer mode enabled, right clicking any avatar or channel name will present a Copy ID option.

# .env

GUILD_ID=xyz
POST_TO=id
CURATE_FROM=id,id,id
POST_THRESHOLD=5

7. Start the bot server

npm run dev

Now, you can test out the slash commands you've created in the Discord server where you installed the bot.

Commands

These are the current commands the bot supports:

• /add-author - Add an author to the knowledge base
• /add-blockchain - Add a blockchain to the knowledge base
• /add-category - Add a category to the knowledge base
• /add-contributor - Add a category to the knowledge base
• /add-resource - Add a new resource to the knowledge base
• /add-tag - Add a tag to the knowledge base
• /add-glossary - Add a glossary term and description to the knowledge base

Linting

To check if your code will compile and is linted appropriately, you can run:

npm run lint

Production deployment

The bot is deployed to Heroku
