Nova Bot

Nova Bot is a Discord Bot framework built mainly to make it easier for me to maintain all my discord bots. It provides very limited flexibility but allows building powerful and bug-free Discord bots very quickly.

Motivation

I built this Discord Framework because when I built many different Discord bots, I used the same template code across all the frameworks, and it became difficult tracking which bots have the latest changes to the template. So I decided to make this a framework so that I could maintain all my bots with much more ease.

Features

• Cache guild information in PostGres so that guild data doesn't reset everytime the bot is redeployed
• Nova will read each command dynamically according to the filenames for each command.
  • If you have a file /slashs/play, Nova will register a /play slash command and use the data in the file as the metadata and callback of the slash command
  • Same works with
    • /buttons for button interactions
    • /selectmenus for select menu interactions
    • /messages for message commands
    • /events for discord events
• A Bot-wide and Guild-wide caching system to store information about the Bot and individual Guilds.
• Dynamic help command builder which reads from the /slashs and /messages folders to find out all the available commands to interact with the bot
• Allow bot to constantly clean messages in one channel to make sure it is the only one with messages in the channel. This is useful for
  • Music Queues as the only message in the channel
  • Calendar bots to only show calendar related messages sent by the bot in the channel
• Allows custom logging of events happening like
  • Initialization of the bot
  • Alerts, Warnings and Errors in the code
  • A slash command being used
  • A button interaction being used
  • A select menu interaction being used
  • A message command being used
