This is a minimal architecture for building a discord bot in TypeScript, based on discord.js, injection.js and RxJS.

This template provides :

• A message sending in a text channel.
• A periodic sending of message in a text channel via Cron.
• A command builder with two examples (/help, /faq), and an Interaction listener.
• A command registerer.

Create an .env file at the root of your project and define your Discord bot token, Client ID and Guild ID in a variable as following:

TOKEN="Your_token_here"
CLIENT_ID="Your_client_id_here"
GUILD_ID="Your_guild_id_here"

The channel IDs are defined in src/infra/channels-static.json

[
    {
        "key": "custom_key",
        "id": "channel_id"
    }
]

npm install

npm run build

npm run deploy-commands

npm start

npm run deploy-commands:dev
