Bot to manage Domination discord channel

Elprimobot

It's a bot to help you manage Discord communities, especially those with programmers.

Features

• Send the daily Leetcode challenge to a specific channel
• Send the weekly Leetcode challenge to a specific channel
• Daily and Weekly stats about the engagement of the community

Development

Requirements

Note: if you use NixOs you can just nix-shell and enter a shell with the dependencies.

• Install nodejs18
• Install dependencies:

npm install

• On the discord side:
  • bot to be configured as explained in here
  • A server with the app running
  • The callback URL configured (we used nginx with letsencrypt)

Configuring environment

Copy .env.sample, rename it to .env and replace the placeholders

Running the app

node app.js

Packaging

We use pkg to create a static binary, platform agnostic.

Now there's a problem with pkg: it doesn't compile ES6, and that's what we're using. The solution for now is to use babel as a transpiler to convert all the code to ES5, so pkg can work with it.

The commands are included in package.json.

Deploying

Currently the assumption is that the target is configured using SSH (either using a config file or an agent).
