Welcome to the DiscordBotTemplate wiki !

DiscordBotTemplate is a ready-to-use discord.js bot starter written in TypeScript. Login, logging, module toggling, interaction routing and command deployment are already wired. The repository only contains what is specific to your bot.

The wiki have been AI Generated based on the code and manually reviewed and updated.

The stack

The template is the top of a small ecosystem. It imports two packages, which themselves share a common utility package, and it drives one CLI :

                    DiscordBotTemplate            <-- you are here
                     |            |
   @spatulox/simplediscordbot   @spatulox/discord-module
                     |            |
                     +-----+------+
                           |
                    @spatulox/utils

              dim  (DiscordInteractionManager CLI, run by hand)

Everything the template does is explained here as the template uses it, then hands off to the wiki of the repository that owns the concept.

• 02 - Project Layout : what every file is for, and which ones you edit
• 03 - Interactions : adding a slash command, a button, a modal
• 04 - Modules : toggleable features and the ModuleUI panel
• 05 - Dev vs Prod : running a dev bot and a prod bot side by side
• 06 - Multi Bot : several bots in one repository (feat/multi-bot)
• 07 - The Ecosystem : where each class lives, and which wiki to open
