Rem is a Discord bot written in elixir.
It was written simply because I was bored and I really wanted to write my own Discord bot in Elixir.

This is the second iteration as the previous one was using another discord bot library (Alchemy) which I dropped since it seemed to be less maintained and a bit more rough around the edges.
My previous attempt can be found here: pyzlnar/discord-bot

It's recommended to install through asdf

$ asdf plugin-add elixir
$ asdf plugin-add erlang
$ asdf install

⚠️ asdf automatically uses the versions of Elixir, Erlang specified in .tool-versions.
If you choose not to use asdf, and encounter errors, ensure that the dependencies you are using match the versions specified in .tool-versions.

You can verify the installation by running:
(And you can exit it by pressing CTRL+C twice. yeah...)

$ iex
Erlang/OTP 25 [erts-13.1.2] [source] [64-bit] [smp:10:10] [ds:10:10:10] [async-threads:1]

Interactive Elixir (1.14.2) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)>

# Install dependencies
$ mix deps.get
# Compile
$ mix

The project requires some environment variables to be set. (secrets!)
The recomended method is through direnv, but as long you setup all variables in .env.example you should be good.

$ cp .env.example .env
$ direnv allow .

Now just modify .env with the needed values.

Running in dev mode:

$ mix run --no-halt

With an interactive shell:

$ iex -S mix

In detached mode for prod

$ MIX_ENV=prod elixir --erl "-detached" -S mix run --no-halt

# You can stop it by killing the process
$ ps aux | grep elixir
pyzlnar 14381 (. . .) elixir -S mix run --no-halt
$ kill -9 14381

Tests can be run with:

$ mix test
