Discord Bot
A small discord bot to use for your group chat, made using discord.js.
The bot has only a couple commands available, which are:
- ping
- weather
- popularity of a place (bar|night club|restaurant), currently only supports Dubai and Belgrade
- playing youtube links over a voice channel
- use the bot to remind you of a task, sending you a direct message at the specified time
- create polls
- kick members
In order to get this bot working, git clone the repo and in the repo folder, run npm install or yarn.
Once that is finished, you have to set up a few variables.
Create a .env file and set it up as follows:
CLIENT_TOKEN="YOUR DISCORD API TOKEN"
BOT_NAME="THE NAME OF YOUR BOT"
BOT_ID="THE ID OF YOUR BOT"
DISCORD_GROUP_NAME="THE NAME OF YOUR DISCORD GROUP / GUILD / SERVER"
ENTRY_ROLE="YOUR ENTRY ROLE NAME HERE"
DARKSKY_TOKEN="YOUR DARKSKY API TOKEN"
GOOGLE_TOKEN="YOUR GOOGLE GEOLOCATOR API TOKEN"Getting all these will only take a couple of minutes.
First, you need to visit Discord Developers, create an application, and get that info. You will need Client-ID (The ID of your bot). You will also have to set it up as a bot, and then get it's TOKEN (Your Discord API Token) and USERNAME (The Name of your bot).
After obtaining all of those, you will have to invite the bot to your Discord server. Replace the CLIENTID in the following link with your bot's Client-ID that you have gotten earlier:
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENTID&scope=bot
and just select your server from the drop-down menu. You must have the Manage Server permission to add a bot to a server! If no servers appear, you may need to log in.
Note: DISCORD_GROUP_NAME can be whatever you want, but I recommend setting it to the name of the server you are running your bot in.
NOTE: ENTRY_ROLE can be whatever you set up on your Discord server. If you do not want this, just leave it an empty string("").
To get your DARKSKY_TOKEN, you should go to Dark Sky and register. They will give you a key to use, and they have 1000(!) free calls per day.
Lastly, you will need a GOOGLE_TOKEN. You only need to get an API key for Google Geocoder, as you won't need other functionalities from them. You can go to Get API Key | Geocoder and follow the instructions.
After setting all these up, just save the file and run yarn|npm start in your console, and you're good to go!
