A Discord bot coded in Node.js using the Discord.js Library and Marvel Comics API.
This project is in early phase and I plan to further add more commands.
Features-
1.!characters character index - fetching marvel comic characters by name + showing list of characters starting with character indexed
2.!fav add character - using mongodb to store list of favourite characters and comics(still not implemented) of a particular user
3.!fav - list of a user's favourite characters fetched from the database
Future plans-
1.full fledged collection database of marvel characters
2.a dashboard made with the MERN stack showing your list of favourite characters and comics, most searched characters and comics of a server, comic recommendations based on your list of servers
3.a minigame using webhooks, consisting of the marvel characters
How to run local instance-
1.clone the repo and generate a discord bot token in the developer portal(https://discord.com/developers/applications/)
2.generate marvel public and private api keys from marvel developer portal(https://developer.marvel.com/)
3.add config.json in the hello-world directory of the format
{
"name": "hello-world",
"language": "javascript",
"manager": "npm",
"token": "<discord-token>",
"prefix": "!",
"marvelApiKey": "<marvel-public-key>",
"marvelPrivateKey": "<marvel-private-key>",
"mongoPassword": "<mongo-password>"
}
4.make a mongodb cluster in mongodb atlas and keep the username hello-world-bot and add the password in config.json file
5.add the discord bot to a test server and run npm run dev in terminal(inside the hello-world directory).
