Lawlzer/-LEGACY-Template-Discord-Bot-1

The template discord bot that I created, and will update/use as a base for all of my future Discord bots.

THIS IS AN OLD, DEAD PROJECT

Please:

• Do not ask me how to run this bot
• Do not ask me how to update it, fix it, or put any effort into it
• If you are looking for how to make a Discord bot, look up a tutorial (ensure Discord.js is the latest major version. Discord loves breaking changes, e.g Intents)

This bot will NOT work.

Template-Discord-Bot

Template-Discord-Bot is a discord bot created to mainly help myself in the future, but also yourself, if you wish to use it.

Initial Setup

• Download all of the files

• Create a .env in the main folder: /Template-Discord-Bot/.env

• In that env, insert your MONGODB_URI and DISCORD_BOT_SECRET - example: (Your MONGODB_URI can partially be found in cloud.mongodb.com --> collections --> Command Line Tools --> Connect Instructions --> Connect Your Application --> Copy) (Your Discord Bot Secret can be found at https://discord.com/developers/applications --> Create a new application, select it --> Bot --> Token (Copy) )

  • (example .env file) MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://yourUsername:yourPassword@yourMongoClusterName-ljhef.mongodb.net/yourMongoCollectionName?retryWrites=true DISCORD_BOT_SECRET=yourBotSecret

• !TODO : Add everything with Heroku, and how to add it to Github

Usage

• Do everything in ##Installation

• In index.js, change the bot invite link (or delete it if you want) (To get your client ID, go to https://discord.com/developers/applications --> select your application --> General Information --> Client Id (Copy))

• In index.js, in bot.on, look at bot.user.setActivity. There's a piece of commented code you can uncomment, and a basic example.

• Run the bot using Node.js (navigate in your CLI to the folder, then run node index.js)

• Everything with this bot should work fine, without errors. If anything has an error or whatever, message me on Discord, please.

• In /lib/example, there are a few commands that you can comment/delete if you want. (They're example commands to show you how you might add, and deal with, the database)
