How the codebase works

The codebase is split into different folders for ease of use.

• /assets is used to store emojis for the bot. Any images with a .png file extension will automatically be loaded into the application's emoji store.
• /commands stores all the commands. Each command exports specific data and should be self-explanatory. There are 3 types: slash commands, prefix commands and subcommands. Subcommands are named after the directory they fall under and the name provided in their export.
• /data holds config files for data stored by the bot. Self-explanatory.
• /utils holds utilities such as accessing emojis, using text coloring in the console, saving data, etc.

If you wish to add commands in the future, you shouldn't need to touch index.js. Simply follows the format of a command using the same command as yours and fill in the data and async execute with your logic flow.
