Discord Bot Engine

Description

Discord Bot Engine is a customizable framework for building and managing a Discord bot using Node.js. It provides an easy-to-use command structure where new commands can be added quickly by simply modifying the commands.js and adding corresponding classes in the src/cmds directory. The bot is designed to be extendable, making it easy to add more commands and features as required.

Important Note: Never push your bot_token to public repositories! Always keep sensitive data like tokens secure.

Features

• Customizable Commands: Easily add new bot commands by defining them in commands.js and creating corresponding command classes.
• Prefix Handling: Define a prefix for the bot commands, making it easy to trigger bot actions.
• Bot Token Management: Configure and securely manage the bot token in config.js.
• Extendable Framework: Create new command classes that extend BotCommand and implement the execute() method.
• User-friendly: Outputs clear and readable results to the Discord channel.

Installation

To set up and run Discord Bot Engine, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have Node.js installed. You can download it from nodejs.org.
2. Clone or download the project:

git clone [email protected]:DevT045T/discord-bot-engine.git
cd discord-bot-engine

3. Install the required dependencies:

npm install

Configuration

Before running the bot, make sure to configure your bot's settings in config.js:

module.exports = () => {
    return {
        "bot_token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE", // DO NOT push your bot token to GitHub 😉
        "welcome_channel_ID": "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID",
        "prefix": "$"
    };
};

Important: Do not commit or push your bot_token. Replace "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE" with your actual token, but make sure you keep it private.

Running the Bot

To start the bot, simply run:

npm start

This will start the bot, and it will begin listening for messages and commands in the specified channels.

Adding New Commands

1. Update commands.js

In commands.js, add a new command by creating an object that specifies the command and the corresponding class:

module.exports = () => {
    return [
        {
            "command": "ping",
            "class": "PingCommand"
        },
        // Add your new command here
    ];
};

2. Create the Command Class

In the src/cmds directory, create a new file with the same name as your command class. For example, if the command class is PingCommand, create a file named PingCommand.js:

const BotCommand = require('../core/BotCommand.js');

class PingCommand extends BotCommand {
  constructor() {
    super();
  }


  execute() {
    if (this.isFromBot()) {
      return;
    }

    this.message.reply("Pong!");
  }
}

module.exports = PingCommand;

3. BotCommand Class

Each command must extend the BotCommand class, which can be found in core/BotCommand.js. Here's an example of the base class:

4. Command File Naming Convention

The filename of the command class must match the class name exactly. For example, if you create a PingCommand class, the file should be named PingCommand.js.
