Install

Thread Buffet requires Node.js ^17.4.0 and NPM ^8.4.0. Run the following commands in the console to install dependencies and build the bot.

npm install
npm run build

Config

Create a file called config.json in the dist folder. Paste the following in it:

{
    "clientId": "YOUR_BOT_CLIENT_ID",
    "guildId": "YOUR_TESTING_GUILD_ID",
    "token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"
}

Replace each value with their respective IDs/token. guildId may be specified to quickly register commands in a testing server, but it is not required.

Register commands

You need to register commands at least once. Run one of the following commands:

# Register commands in one guild (instant, specified in your config.json)
npm run register-commands
# Register commands globally (may take up to an hour)
npm run register-commands global
# You can also unregister commands by adding the word "unregister"
npm run register-commands unregister

Usage

Run the following command in the console to run the bot.

npm run start

You can also run with the PM2 process manager (to easily run in the background).

pm2 start ecosystem.config.cjs

That's it! ^-^
