Discord bot

A simple discord bot of mine developed with discord.js (Node.js).

I mainly use it to get the active developer badge on Discord.

Invite the bot

You can invite the bot to your server using THIS link.

The bot requires administartor permissions.

I'm hosting it, should be online 24/7.

Running the application

Setting up the bot

Do the following for setting up the application from sratch:

1. Clone the repo.

2. Create a config.json file in the repo's folder and paste the content above, then fill it out with the correct details:

   {
   "token" : "[your token]",
   "clientId" : "[your client id]",
   
   "databaseHostAddress" : "[database host ip]:[database host port]",
   "databaseName" : "[database name]",
   "databaseUser" : "[database username]",
   "databasePassword" : "[database user's password]",
   
   "logToFile" : "[True/False]",
   "logToDatabase" : "[True/False]"
   }

3. Like you would with any other node.js app, install dependencies with with the npm i command.

Setting up a database for the bot

Some of the bot's features require a MariaDB database.

If you already have a working database, and filled up the details in the config.json file for the connection, you can run npm run create-tables.

This will automatically create the tables based on the SQL queries that can be found in the sql folder.

Otherwise, please refer to THIS documentation for addittional help about setting up a database.

Running the bot

If everything above checks out, you can prepare for the first run:

1. Deploy the slash (/) commands with npm run deploy. You might want to do this again if you modify / add commands.
2. Finally, run the bot with npm run app.
