Discord Bot Starter

A starter template for building Discord bots with discord.js.

Included Commands

• /ping: Replies with "Pong!". A good way to check if the bot is alive.
• /echo [message]: Replies with the message you provide.
• /roll [dice]: Rolls dice. You can specify the number of dice and sides in the format d20 or 2d6.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16.9.0 or higher)
• A Discord bot token. You can get one from the Discord Developer Portal.

Installation

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install the dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root of the project and add your bot token and client ID:

   TOKEN=your_token_here
   CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
   

4. Deploy the commands to your server:

   npm run deploy

5. Run the bot:

   npm start

Creating Your Own Commands

1. Create a new file in the commands directory. The filename will be the command name.
2. In the new file, export a data object and an execute function. See the existing commands for examples.
3. The data object should be a SlashCommandBuilder instance that defines the command's name, description, and options.
4. The execute function will be called when the command is used. It receives an interaction object as an argument.
5. After creating your new command file, you'll need to re-run the deploy script to register it with Discord:

   npm run deploy
