This repo is meant as a template which you can use to create a Discord bot very easily using the Discordeno library.

Website/Guide:

Discord Server

• Deno

1. Create your own repo using the template button. It is next to the button where you get the url to clone. It will say Use this template This is a template repo.
2. Clone your own repo that Github created for you. git clone url-here-for-your-repo
3. Create your configs.ts file in the main folder.

// Step 1: If you do NOT use Docker, remove the `.example` from this file name so it is called `configs.ts` or copy the contents of the `configs.example.ts` file into a new `configs.ts` file. Docker will require this file.
// Step 2: Add all your bot's information below. The only required one is token and prefix. NOTE: As long as `.gitignore` file is ignoring configs.ts your configurations will be kept private!
// Step 3: Remove these comments if you like.

export const configs = {
  // Your bot token goes here
  token: "",
  // The default prefix for your bot. Don't worry guilds can change this later.
  prefix: "!",
  // This isn't required but you can add bot list api keys here.
  botListTokens: {
    DISCORD_BOT_ORG: "",
    BOTS_ON_DISCORD: "",
    DISCORD_BOT_LIST: "",
    BOTS_FOR_DISCORD: "",
    DISCORD_BOATS: "",
    DISCORD_BOTS_GG: "",
    DISCORD_BOTS_GROUP: "",
  },
  // This is the server id for your bot's main server where users can get help/support
  supportServerId: "",
  // These are the role ids that will enable some functionality.
  roleIds: {
    // If you have a patreon set up you can add the patreon vip role id here.
    patreonVIPRoleId: "",
  },
  // These are the user ids that will enable some functionality.
  userIds: {
    // You can delete the `as string[]` when you add atleast 1 id in them.
    // The user ids for the support team
    botSupporters: [] as string[],
    // The user ids for the other devs on your team
    botDevs: [] as string[],
    // The user ids who have complete 100% access to your bot
    botOwners: [] as string[],
  },
  webhooks: {
    // the webhook to use when the bot finds a missing translation
    missingTranslation: {
      id: "",
      token: "",
    },
  },
};

4. Start the bot deno run -A --quiet mod.ts

Note: To run the bot with PM2: pm2 start mod.ts --interpreter="deno" --interpreter-args="run -A --quiet -r"

You can also run this image with Docker.

1. Install docker Getting started with docker
2. Clone the repository
3. Create your configs.ts
4. Build the container, from the directory containing the repository docker build -t mybot .
5. Run the container with docker run -v ${PWD}/configs.ts:/bot/configs.ts -t mybot

Notes:

• In the previous commands ${PWD} and . can be replaced with the full path to directory
• If you are using Windows OS and want to use ${PWD} than you need to use PowerShell
• You can also use the -d argument to run the container in background

1. Install docker
2. Build the container following the steps (up to the fourth) mentioned above
3. Install docker-compose. Getting started with docker-compose
4. Create a docker-compose.yml with this content

---
version: "3.6"

services:
  app:
    image: mybot:latest # name of the image see docker's step 4 above
    restart: always # restart the bot on failure
    volumes:
      - mybot_database:/bot/db # store database inside a volume so it's persistent
      # bind mount your config with secrets inside the container
      - ./config.ts:/bot/config.ts

# define a volume. You can also bind a path see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v3/#volumes
volumes:
  mybot_database:

5. Start with docker-compose up -d
6. Stop with docker-compose down

Notes:

• I assume that you're running docker-compose from where your config.ts is
• You can also remove the -d argument to run the container in foreground

Don't worry a lot of developers start out coding their first projects as a Discord bot(I did 😉) and it is not so easy. With Discordeno, I tried to build it in a way that solved all the headaches I had when first starting out coding bots. If you are a beginner developer, please use this boilerplate.

Modular commands, arguments, events, inhibitors, monitors, tasks.

• Clean and powerful commands system
  • Powerful argument handling including validating, parsing and modifications.
  • Easily create custom arguments for your specific needs.
  • Command aliases.
  • Cooldowns and allowed uses before cooldown triggers.
  • Author and bot permission checks in server AND in channel!
• Clean and powerful events system
  • Simple functions that are called when an event occurs.
  • Easily reloadable!
  • No possible memory leaks due to incorrect EventEmitter usage!
  • Useful events available to help debug!
• Clean and powerful inhibitors system
  • Stops a command from running if a requirement fails.
  • Easily add custom inhibitors!
• Clean and powerful monitors system.
  • Runs a function on every message sent. Useful for stuff like auto-moderation or tags.
  • Easily ignore bots, users, edits, dms.
  • Powerful permission checks.
• Clean and powerful tasks system.
  • Runs a function at a certain interval. Useful for things like unmute and updating bot lists etc.
  • Can be used for cache sweeping to keep your cache optimized for exactly what you want.
  • Botlists code already made for most botlists. Just add your api tokens for each site and magic!
• Clean and powerful languages system.
  • Built in multi-lingual support.
  • Uses i18next, one of the best localization tools available.
  • Supports nested folders to keep cleaner translation files

Hot Reloadable

• Easily update your code without having to restart the bot everytime.
