Project Title

A multi-purpose discord bot easily upgradable with custom commands build with node.js and TypeScript

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Works with :

Node 12.2
Npm 6.9

Installing

Create a .env file

touch .env

This file contains the API keys. Add at least the BOT_TOKEN variable that contains the bot's secret key.

And then

npm install
npm start

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running

Adding a cusom command

You can add a custom command :

First, you need to create a class (extending the AbstractCommand class) in the commands folder.

export default class YourClass extends AbstractCommand

You can use the ARGS_COUNT constant that will take the number of arguments your command should take :

static readonly ARGS_COUNT = 0;

Then create a execute static function :

public static execute(args: Array<string>, message: Message): void{
            if (args.length === this.ARGS_COUNT) {
                //your code here
            } else {
                YourClass.sendArgsCountError(message)
            }
}

The function will be called when the command will be executed.

The first param is an array of strings that contains all the params the user gave.
The second param is the Message object received from discord.js

You don't have to check the arguments count, but it's recommended.

Finally, add an export line to the index.ts file :

export {default as YourCommand} from "./YourClass";

Your command is the command the user will give after the prefix. You can change the prefix in CommandPointer
