The template for most of my discord bots

discord-js-template

This is my template for most of my discord.js bots, feel free to use!

Setup

Copy the .env.example file to .env

cp .env.example .env

Open it with your favorite editor, Nano, Vim or Emacs.

Replace the TOKEN in the .env file with your own Authentication Token given to you by Discord in their portal Replace the APPLICATION_ID in the .env file with the application id of the bot.

DO NOT MAKE THE .env FILE PUBLIC

By default, .env is git ignored (meaning it is ignored by git). If you disable this, there can be huge security risks such as

• Hackers being able to use your authentication token and using it for malicious purposes
• Bad in general

If you do not touch the .gitignore then you should be fine. But be sure not to remove the .env part from the .gitignore.
