A automod for discord.py

Introduction

Hello, im alexy im a discord.py developer and i love learning new things.In this github rep i will show you how to make a automod from little exp!

Startup

I assume you all know what discord.py is and what it does, so im going to get straight to the point!

Automod Files

For my version of a automod its just deleting a banned message, but with a twist because we are going to make a function that enables the user to turn off and on the automod Lets create a file called automod.json dont forget to import json once you have that go over to that json file and put something like this :

{
  "automodserver":[]
}

Setting up functions

We are going to make 2 functions to write the data and delete the data, why do we need this you ask? well to enable the automod we have to write the guild.id into the automod.json and store it so the bot know's witch server that has automod enabled or disabled

For the read use :

def read_json(filename):
    with open(filename, "r") as f:
        data = json.load(f)
    return data

And for the write :

def write_json(data, filename):
    with open(filename, "w") as f:
        json.dump(data, f, indent=4)

Nice! we got our functions setup almost there :D

Making commands

Now lets make a command for the automod!

For disable automod :

guild = ctx.guild
data = read_json("autoserver.json")
automod = data["autoserver"]
if guild.id not in automod:
  await ctx.send('You did not enable automod yet! :no:')
  return
guild = ctx.guild
data = read_json("autoserver.json")
data["autoserver"].remove(guild.id)
write_json(data, "autoserver.json")
await ctx.send('Automod disabled! :white_check_mark:')

For Enable automod:

guild = ctx.guild
data = read_json("autoserver.json")
automod = data["autoserver"]
if guild.id in automod:
  await ctx.send('Automod has already been enabled in this server! :no:') #if the server id is already in the json file 
  return
data = read_json("autoserver.json")
data["autoserver"].append(guild.id)
write_json(data, "autoserver.json")
await ctx.send('Automod enabled! :white_check_mark:')

And you schould be good to go!
