discord_bot_example

Built with Discord.js v14.9.0

Help and support docs can be found here: My Blog

To get started, first thing first, git clone this project:

git clone https://github.com/wtflmao/discord_bot_example.git

Then, create a config.json in the root directory discord_bot_example.

• config.json looks like this:

  {  
     "token": "bot-token-goes-here",  
     "clientId": "bot-clientid-goes-here",  
     "guildId": "serverid-goes-here"  
  }

  • If you don't know what a "bot token" is, then I guess you haven't created your own discord application yet.

    Go to Discord Developer Portal to set up your first very own application and add a very new bot to it.

  • clientId is your bot's snowflake id.

  • guildId is your server's snowflake id.

After setting up that config.json thingy, you should run the following command to install discord.js:

cd discord_bot_example

npm install discord.js@v14.9.0

Then, use the following command to deploy your commands.

node deploy_commands.js

Then, use the following command to start your bot.

node .

or

node index.js

That's all.

Btw, my bot was built just for myself learning purpose, it isn't production-ready. I do NOT provide any warranty for this project.
