- Install Node.js
- Install Visual Studio Code
- Clone the source code:
git clone git@github.com:/headcr4sh/dangerbot - Initially run
npm installin the project folder to install/update dependencies and compile the project.
In Visual Studio Code press Ctrl-Shift-B to start the compiler in watch mode. This compiles the TypeScript sources in the src folder to JavaScript in the lib folder. It also watches the src folder for changes so changed files are compiled on-save.
Alternatively you can run npm run compile to compile the project once or run npm run watch to compile with watch mode on command line. npm run clean removes the compiled files from the project. npm install also does a clean and compile after updating dependencies.
Before starting the bot you have to put your development Discord Bot token into the environment variable DANGERBOT_DISCORD_TOKEN.
Now start the Bot with npm start. This also watches the lib directory for changes and automatically restarts the server when a change has been detected.
