Ranigad / DiscordEmojiCounter

Basic 3 part data flow. Simple bot that tracks emoji usage across its servers, nodejs server that tallies on runtime, and a d3 frontend hosted locally that displays the data.

DiscordEmojiCounter

A small project filling a need on the magiarecord discord while simultaneously practicing and becoming familiar with NodeJS, WebSocket technology, and D3.

Description

Currently actually a two part pipeline with a nodeJS server middleman.

1. Simple bot built from the NodeJS framework (see below) that listens and parses messages for emojis and reacts. Upon detection, sends out the name via a webSocket channel.

2. NodeJS server that listens for the bot's message and repeats it as a broadcast to all connected parties.

3. HTML frontend that listens locally for updates via two channels, one representing an increment and one a decrement. Keeps values stored in runtime locally and updates a bargraph of usage in real time.

Previous Version Description

Three part pipeline that keeps a tally of emoji usage in the bots' server.

1. Simple bot built from the NodeJS framework (https://discord.js.org/#/) that listens and parses messages for emojis. Upon detection, sends out the name via a webSocket.

2. NodeJS server that listens for the bot's message. Updates the runtime database accordingly and then sends a message via webSocket.

3. HTML frontend that listens locally for updates to the data and utilizes D3 to provide a simple visualization of the data.

TODO

x Add capability for bot to listen for reactions, removal of reactions, and
  then also take into account edits that remove emojis (last one not

necessary). - Add external database for permanent data collection. - Add better visualization for D3. x Migrate and refactor emojiListener to have dependency on the emojiCounter module.
