Creating Commands

Creating a new command is simple, create a new file in the commands folder calling it whatever you want the command to be called, for example ping.js
Add the following code to the new command file. In every command file you will always need to use this format. (message.channel.send('pong!') is not reqired, just an example).

const discord = require ("discord.js");

exports.run = (client, message, args) =>{
    message.channel.send ('pong!')
}

Further documentation can be found here or you can read my Blog Post which will explain how to create a Basic Discord BOT here
