TL;DR

This bot will allow members of the DAO to use /slash commands in Discord to interact with our Airtable knowledge base.

Development Setup

1. Fork the discord-resource-bot repository into your GitHub account

2. Clone the fork to your local system

git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USER_NAME/discord-resource-bot.git

3. Install Node modules

npm install

4. Create a .env file at the root of the project

touch .env

5. Follow this tutorial to create a Discord bot. Then, update your .env with the DISCORD_TOKEN and CLIENT_ID values created during the tutorial.

# .env

DISCORD_TOKEN=abc
CLIENT_ID=123

6. We also need to add our GUILD_ID to the .env file. This can be found in your Discord server settings under Widget > Server ID.

# .env

GUILD_ID=xyz

7. Deploy your commands to the bot created above

npm run deploy:commands

8. Start the bot server

npm run dev

Now, you can test out the slash commands you've created in the Discord server where you installed the bot.

These are the current commands the bot supports:

• /add-author - Add an author to the knowledge base
