v1.0.0-beta: Discord Bot

Features

• Discord Bot Core: Initializes and manages the Discord bot's connection, handling events like ready, guild member additions/removals, and various interactions (commands, buttons, modals).
• Slash Command Management: Dynamically loads and registers slash commands, making the bot interactive and extensible.
• Scheduled Tasks: Implements automated, scheduled operations such as:
• Notice Scraping: Periodically scrapes a website for the latest notices and announces them to a designated Discord channel.
• Holiday Announcements: Integrates with Google Calendar to fetch and announce holidays.
• User Management & Moderation:
  • Welcome/Farewell Messages: Sends customizable welcome messages to new members and farewell messages when members leave.
  • Suggestion System: Allows users to submit suggestions, which are stored in a database and can be managed (approved, denied, deleted) by administrators.
• Verification Workflow Integration: Works in conjunction with other modules (like verify.js) to facilitate user verification, including email sending and database record keeping.
• Database Integration: Connects to an SQLite database to persist data for features like suggestions, verified users, and birthdays.
• Email Service Integration: Utilizes an external email service to send verification OTPs and potentially other notifications.
• PDF Processing: Includes functionality to process PDF files, likely for extracting information from notices.
• Robust Error Handling: Incorporates mechanisms to log and handle unhandled promise rejections and various Discord client errors, contributing to the bot's overall stability.
• Central Orchestrator: bot.js serves as the main entry point for the Discord bot application. It initializes all necessary components, sets up event listeners, and orchestrates interactions between various modules and external services.
• Modular Design: It leverages a modular structure, importing functionalities from dedicated service files (e.g., emailService.js, scraper.js) and command files, promoting code organization and reusability.
• Configuration Management: Relies heavily on dotenv for environment variable management, ensuring sensitive information (like bot tokens, API keys, and role IDs) is kept out of the codebase and easily configurable.
• External Service Integrations: Demonstrates integration with several external services, including Discord API, a custom email service, a web scraper, and Google Calendar, showcasing its capability to interact with various platforms.
• Persistent Storage: Utilizes an SQLite database (database.js) for persistent data storage, allowing the bot to maintain state across restarts for features like user verification, suggestions, and birthdays.
• Comprehensive Logging: Features extensive console logging for various operational stages and error conditions, which is crucial for monitoring the bot's health and diagnosing issues in a production environment.
