Bot template

This is a unopinionated, lightweight, community driven and easy to use bot template for discord bots.

It is designed to be a good starting point for anyone who wants to create a discord bot with discord.js, but also have helpful features.

If you want to learn more about discord.js, you can check the documentation, I also recommend the discord.js guide which has a lot of examples and explanations.

🚀 Features

• 🌎 Built-in message system for easy localization
• 🧠 Sharding support
• ⚙️ Easy to use command and events handler
• 🎲 Helpful functions and utilities
• 🗃️ MongoDB integration

⚡ How to run

👷 Requirements

• Node.js
• A MongoDB database

🧹 Preparing the enviroment

Clone this git repository somewhere in your OS, then open the cloned folder with a terminal of your choice and run npm i

When all of the dependencies finish installing, you will need to create a config.json file inside the src folder and paste this on it:

{
	"devs": [""],
	"testGuilds": [""]
}

• "devs": put here the discord id of all developers of the bot, this will be important to manage slash commands
• "testGuilds": your guilds for testing, developer commands will only register here

In addition, you will also need to remove the .example from the .env.example file and fill it like this:

• "TOKEN": your discord bot token
• "MONGODB_URI": your mongodb connection uri

🏃‍♂️ Running

If everything was done correctly, you just need to open a terminal on the folder and run npm start and the bot should be up and running!

I put a lot of comments and insights on the code, hope this is helpful por people that want to learn how to buil bots!
