Discord template bot

A simple Discord bot template written in TypeScript using discord.js. Easily extendable by adding your own slash commands.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v22+ recommended)
• A Discord bot token, client ID, and server (guild) ID

Setup

1. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

   git clone <repo-url>
   cd discord-ticket-bot
   npm install

2. Create a .env file in the src folder:

   TOKEN=YOUR_BOT_TOKEN
   CLIENT_ID=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
   GUILD_ID=YOUR_GUILD_ID
   

   Replace the values with your own.

Building and Running

1. Build the project:

   npm run build

2. Deploy commands to Discord:

   node dist/deploy-commands.js

3. Start the bot:

   npm start

Adding Your Own Commands

All commands are located in the src/commands folder. Each command is a separate .ts file that exports a default object with data and execute properties.

Example command file:

// filepath: src/commands/hello.ts
import { SlashCommandBuilder } from "discord.js";

export default {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName("hello")
        .setDescription("Greets the user!"),
    async execute(interaction: any) {
        await interaction.reply("Hello there!");
    }
}```
