Bot Bilby v4

A recode of bot bilby so it doesn't crash every 5 seconds.

Notices

This project was designed with The Heeler House as it's main target, so many of the functionality (Text Commands & Events) have been tailored specifically to THH. While you can change the config (in testingIds.json) to make the bot work for your own server, it is recommended that you install and use the bot only for development and testing purposes.

Setting Up

Dependencies

To install and run the bot, make sure that you have the following things set up/installed:

MongoDB (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/install-community/)
NodeJS (https://nodejs.org/en)
A Discord Bot (instruction for how to setup one can be found at MAKE_A_BOT_BILBY.md)
The server, with the following required channels
Install
1. Clone the repo into your favorite directory (or if you don't have git, you can download the repo as a ZIP instead)
```
git clone https://github.com/The-Heeler-House/bot-bilby
```
2. Change directory into the bot-bilby folder, and install the required package using npm:
```
npm i
```
3. Create a new file in the root of the directory called .env (note the dot at the start of the file). This will be where you'll store your secret data.
4. Inside the .env file, fill in the following information (replace the dot between the quotation mark with actual value):
```
TOKEN="..." # the bot token
DEVELOPMENT_GUILD="..." # guild to register guild commands in. if this is omitted, global commands will be registered instead.
PREFIX="..." # text command prefix, can be any length.
MONGO_URL="" # connection URL for MongoDB database (should be in the form of: "mongodb://...")
API_PORT=8080 # port that the BilbyAPI service will listen on. used for non-bilby related projects where data from bilby is needed.
```
5. Fill out testingIds.json with your appropriate channel and role ids.

Run the bot

Once everything have seen set up, compile and run the bot using:

npm run bot-unix # for people using MacOS/Linux

npm run bot-windows # for people using Windows
