Ggis-bot

Introduction

Ggis-bot was a small, personal summer project that escalated into something a little bigger. Originally designed to be used for a private Discord server among friends, Ggis sports some pretty useful (as well as some pretty useless) features that help keep us entertained to this day.

The $%&# is a "Ggis"?

My Discord username is Sigg.

Ggis is Sigg backwards.

Yep, there you go.

Features & Commands

• LFG : "Looking for group" helps you find people to play a game with you
• StreamLink : Pushes notifications when linked users go live on Twitch.tv
• AutoReact : Automatic emoji reactions or message replies when specified users get @mentioned, or when specific phrases are said
• Programmable chat filters
• Fetch random posts from any of Reddit's subreddits
• Open up fortune cookies, random Key & Peele videos, and other useless & silly commands

Use the !help command, or ping the bot to get a full list of commands.

Installation & Setup

Requirements

• Latest Node.js
• Yarn - Alternatively, you can just use npm

Getting set up

Firstly, you need a Discord development app and its corresponding OAuth token ready. Here's how to do this:

1. Navigate to https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/intro, log in with your Discord account and access the My Apps page
2. Under the Bot section, hit Create a Bot User
3. Click click to reveal for the bot's token and save this token for later use!
4. At the top of the page, under App details there should be a Client ID. We'll need this soon!
5. (Feel free to edit any other preferences for your bot while you're here on this page, because we're about to navigate away from it.)
6. Click Save Changes to save your bot's information.
7. Paste the following URL into your browser, but replace INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE with your Client ID from step 4: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=523762774
   This will invite your bot into a server of your choice! (Note: You need to have the 'Manage server' permission on the server you wish to invite the bot into.)

Run the following command in a command prompt within the project directory:

yarn setup
# or
npm run setup

During this setup script, you will be asked a series of configuration questions. Make sure you have your OAuth token ready for this part, as you will be prompted for it.

Start the bot

yarn start
# or
npm start

There! Now Ggis should be up and running. 👍
