What does this project do?

This project is a simple setup for Discord Bot creation. This project is a very simple starting point for creating your own Discord Bot. It has a command & event handler built-in, so you don't have to worry about that anymore.

This is a project for the people who are getting stuck or are tired of writing a bot setup over and over again.

Getting started

1. Install node.js (latest version);
2. Install a code editor (atom, Visual Studio Code, etc.)
3. Clone the repository.
4. Open your project in the code editor and launch a terminal in the root folder of your project.
5. In your terminal type npm init. This is going to ask you a few questions. Answer those questions.
6. Run npm i to install all the packages that come with this project.
7. Create a bot account here.
8. Back in your code editor create a .env file in your root directory.
9. Take a look at the .env.example file and paste that in.
10. Now try to run the project with npm run start.
