Discord.js Bot

A Discord bot which uses the Discord.js Library, with this bot we're using a Command Handler

Prerequisites

You'll need:

• A Discord account
• Permission to add accounts to a server, or your own server
• Git, Node.js (atleast latest 12.x release) and NPM or PNPM if using this on your machine

How to deploy

On Glitch

1. Remix the app on Glitch
2. Create an App here: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me
3. Create an App Bot User for your App by clicking "Create a Bot User"
4. Add the App Bot User to your Discord server using this link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=<CLIENT ID>&scope=bot&permissions=2146958591 replacing <CLIENT_ID> with the Client ID found on the page of your App
5. Set the TOKEN value in .env using the Bot User token ("click to reveal" in the App page under the bot username)

On GitLab

1. Fork the app from the GitLab mirror.
2. Under Continuous Integration/Continuous Development settings in your fork, find Variables. Besides it, click Expand to show options.

Local Deployment

1. Fork this app from mirrored GitLab or GitHub one then clone to your machine.

When any of these deployment methods are accomplished, we'll run the code first in bootup.sh before the bot boots up, which may cause downtimes and CPU spikes (mostly happens on Glitch).

The code

Unlike bots which store commands in bot.js, this bot stores commands in the commands folder.

For now the prefix is !, You can change it in the .env file.

We're using the Discord.js library to interact with the Discord API.

To check if the bot is working, check the logs to find "Connected to Discord API!"
