Discord Bot Starter Code

Set up:

Before setting up, make sure you have node and npm installed.

Before working on this project, consider checking out this tutorial on using discord.js - for the time being, this tutorial is only useful until 'Commands with user inputs.' We will move further with the project at a later date. At that point, more of the tutorial will be useful so feel free to read ahead!

• Clone this repository onto your local machine using git CLI: git clone [e-mail]:Dino-Martinez/Discord.js-Template.git
• CD into the project root directory
• Install dependencies/style guides using npm ci
• Create a file named .env at the root directory, and add the line BOT_TOKEN=<TOKEN GOES HERE> replacing the right hand side with your bot token.
• Before pushing to github, make sure you enforce styling:
  • Run npm run lint <file_path> to receive styling suggestions.
  • Run npm run fix <file_path> to automatically fix incorrect styling. Note: this will not always fix everything, you may have to fix certain things manually.
