ichos is a Discord Music bot which plays music in discord voice channels.
This node.js application is powered by DiscordJS to interface with the Discord API and utilizes the YouTube API to search for songs.
ichos is fully written in Typescript and was deployed 24/7 for personal use using Heroku.
Functionality includes:
- Voice Connection
- Synchronous Audio/Music Player
- Over 20 custom discord commands including Play, Pause, Stop, Queue, Swap, Shuffle, and Search
First, clone the master branch of this repository on your local machine, and run npm install to install all dependencies.
Next, on the Discord Developers dashboard, create a new Application and assign a bot to it. Create an O-Auth invitation link for the bot with bot and application.commands permissions checked off. Below, select send messages, connect, and speak permissions.
Invite the bot to your Discord server of choice.
Configure config.json to match your bot's token, client ID, and guild ID (the ID of the server the bot is in) as well as your YouTube API key.
{
"clientId": "CLIENT_ID_HERE",
"guildId": "GUILD_ID_HERE",
"token": "BOT_TOKEN_HERE",
"yt": "YOUTUBE_API_KEY_HERE"
}
To register the commands to your server run: npm run deploy
Now the bot can be started using: npm start
/play <term> : This command takes either a YouTube video url or a search term for a YouTube video.
/queue : Displays the current queue.
/shuffle : Shuffles the current queue.
/skip : Skips the currently playing song.
/move <move_from> <move_to> : Move a song to a specified location in queue
/remove <pos> : Removes a song at the specified location from queue
/pause : Pauses any currently playing audio.
/resume : Resumes any paused audio.
/stop : Stops and currently playing audio and clears the queue.
/leave : Leaves a voice call if inside one.
