BooruBot v4: Rewriting the entirety of BooruBot

[AtoraSuunva]

Ah shit, here we go again

Shoutout to the previous rewrite (v3) nearly 6 years ago #14

Moving to Typescript, a module system that's actually on npm and not just copy/pasted, interactions (!!!), and much much much more stable code

---

† -> Likely requires significant effort ? -> Might not be implemented → -> Renamed

Database

• [x] Setup Prisma
• [x] Migrate Database†

Commands

• [x] Blacklist → /blacklist (add|remove|view|clear) (tag|site) & /view blacklist
  • [ ] More advanced blacklist (combine tags, etc)† later
  • /blacklist view for mods, /view blacklist for users
    • Discord only lets you assign perms to the root/base command (blacklist/view), which is used to manage access to who can edit the blacklist.
• [x] delsettings → /config delete
• [x] Settings → /config
• [x] Link
• [x] Search† → /search
• [x] Sites → /view sites

What changed?

🎉 - New ⚠️ - Changed ❌ - Removed

---

• Slash commands instead of message commands (Why?)
  • ⚠️ Message commands don't exist at all anymore (Besides pinging the bot for some helpful links)
  • ⚠️ The new commands are:
    • b!search (or b!s, b!sb, b!r...) → /search
    • b!link → /link
    • b!settings (or b!set...) → /config
    • b!delsettings → /config delete
    • b!sites → /view sites
    • Blacklisting:
    • b!blacklist tag|site (or b!bl) → /blacklist add tag|site
    • b!whitelist tag|site (or b!wl) → /blacklist remove tag|site
    • b!blacklist (view blacklist) → /blacklist view (mods) or /view blacklist (everyone)
    • Misc commands: /ping, /info, /stats also exist
    • ❌ All other commands no longer exist.

---

• 🎉 Blacklist will now combine your personal blacklist and the server blacklist for your searches
  • Set up your personal blacklist by using /blacklist add tag or /blacklist add site in DMs
  • It will be applied to every search you make
  • Don't like cats? Blacklist cat and your searches will never show a cat ever again
  • Only use 1-2 sites? /blacklist add site site: all and then blacklist remove site the sites you only want to see

---

• Search is now significantly better
  • 🎉 Actual buttons that work better than reactions
  • 🎉 Previous image button
  • 🎉 Hidden images can be unhidden and don't break previous/next buttons
  • 🎉 Only the searcher can use the buttons
  • 🎉 You can now privately search (and decide to publically post any result you want, in case you want to show people something specific)

---

• Config settings are different now
  • ⚠️ minScore → min_score (It still works the same)
  • ❌ topicEnabled is now gone, use Server Settings > Integrations > BooruBot > Commands
    • Select /search, then set "All Channels" to "Deny". Add the channels you want people to search in.
    • If you have admin perms, you'll always see the slash command (Discord limitation). Other people won't and can't use it.
    • It should look like this
  • ❌ nsfwServer is now gone. Just mark your channels as age-restricted. You need to for TOS reasons, it was originally because you needed to name every channel #nsfw- (like, 6 years ago)
  • ❌ disableNextImage is now gone. There's always buttons.
  • 🎉 allow_nsfw is new, and decides if the bot posts any NSFW posts anywhere (posts not rated safe)
    • By default it's True on servers (post NSFW in age-restricted channels), set it to False to never post NSFW
    • It's False in DMs, use /config set allow_nsfw allow:True in DMs to get BooruBot to send you NSFW posts

---

• The database was migrated
  • You probably won't be affected
  • min_score, blacklisted tags/sites should all be migrated
  • If they aren't for whatever reason, contact me (Atlas#2564) on the support server
  • I will be keeping the old database for ~month (end of September) just in case, and then deleting it. Contact me before then if something is missing (or you want to keep your data)

And many other changes only I am excited about, so I'll leave the changelog at that.

If you have any bug reports/feedback/suggestions about this update, you can leave a GitHub issue or message on the support server

I hope you enjoy, now I have to update 3 other bots :(
