Create a config file by making a copy of config.json.example and renamed it to config.json.
If you want to use the weather command, you must obtain both a Google Maps Geocoding API key and a Dark Sky API key.
Without these weather will emit a warning on use.
Run the bot!
$ npm start
As of writing, a command has three exports. An object on the exports variable itself, a help function and a run function. Always include 'use strict' to avoid complications.
exports should contain an object with an aliases array and event which is a string.
aliases is an array of anything that you want this to fire from. So, given the default prefix of _, calling _triggers, _to_ or _fire will cause this command to run. One caveat is that if you double-up on command triggers, the later loaded will overwrite the older. Generally speaking, if your command file starts with 'a' and your 'z' function has a trigger of 'a', calling _a will run the command 'z'.
event is a string that you will nearly definitely not need to change. If you do, you will need to create a new bot.on() function in app.js. Open an issue if you need it.
module.exports = {
aliases: ['triggers', 'to', 'fire'],
event: 'message'
}
This next block is the help function that is used when calling a function with the --help flag. usage is an array, add another if your command has more than one usage. See replace.js for an example.
module.exports.help = function () {
let conf = require('../config')
return {
description: `Your command's description.`,
usage: [`${conf.prefix}${module.exports.aliases[0]} your usage information.`]
}
}
This is the crux of your command. Do whatever you need to here.
module.exports.run = function (message) {
// your code to enact here
}
Full example:
'use strict'
module.exports = {
aliases: ['triggers', 'to', 'fire'],
event: 'message'
}
module.exports.help = function () {
let conf = require('../config')
return {
description: `Your command's description.`,
usage: [`${conf.prefix}${module.exports.aliases[0]} your usage information.`]
}
}
module.exports.run = function (message) {
// your code to enact here
}
