STILL WORK IN PROGRESS

About

Free to use and modify but always mention the author (@leivaa21)!

This is a template for a discord bot using discordJS and typescript.

The template is build to be scalable and maintainable.

Not implementing testing because there's no mocking library for discord.js (at the moment at least)

Start your discord bot now!
Click on the Use this template button

Drop a start if you like it! it doesnt requires you anything but its cool to have stars!

Why using this template

The real question is, why you should bother and losing time with configs and all of that when you can simply use this and start implementing your bot now!

What libraries this templates uses

If you're using this template, you should know that you're also using this libraries, they're all cool libraries, check them out!

Utilities

• Discord.js as main library of the repository
• FS to work with the filesystem
• PM2 to keep the bot always up and restart on errors (Ideally this wont need to happen xd)

Keeping it clean

• Prettier
• EsLint

to mantain your code as clean as possible

Others

• Typescript because types are cool
• dotenv to hide the discord_token, you dont want anyone to know your bot token!!

Setting this up

Make an application on discord developer portal.

Then go to your app and go to the "Bot" section.

Create a new bot for your aplication and set up the bot user.

Save the bot token and paste it to your .env file in the root of your repository with the format: discord_token=TOKEN HERE

Remember to active the intents here!!

Then we have to generate a URL to invite our bot to our server. Go to the OAuth2 section, URL Generator;

• In the scope section we have to select bot
• At permissions select only the permissions that your bot needs to work, (only select admin if your bot needs all the perms or just if you're too lazy)

Then the URL will send us to a site like this where we can invite the bot to our server!

Just with this the app will be able to run and start working on your selected server!

Run it

When everything is setted up, just run npm install && npm run build && npm start And the bot should show up like this in your console:

And there you go! now you only has to implements your custom bot commands on src/service/commands/ and your events in src/services/events/, follow the instructions from the readme's in both folders and start coding!
