About

PROJECT.Devens Discord server bots.

Requirements

• Node 16+
• A brain :(

Local dev setup

Create a version of the bot to test with

• go here https://discord.com/developers/applications and create a bot
• presumably create a personal server to test out the commands
• Invite the bot to your server with the following scopes/permissions
  • Scopes
    • bot
    • applications.commands
  • Permissions
    • View Channels
    • Change Nickname
    • Manage Nicknames
    • Send Messages
    • Manage Messages
• Hop over to 'start developing'

Start developing

• Install node 16+ locally
• run npm ci to get the dependencies
• create a .env file and populate it with properities found on the bot's discord application management page

CLIENT_ID=<This value is found under CLIENT ID in the 'OAuth2' section>
TOKEN=<This value is found under TOKEN in the 'Bot' section>

• run the deploy-commands.js script to inform discord what commands we support node deploy-commands.js. If you get a success from this you apparently need to wait for an hour for it to take effect
• Run node index.js to actually run the service for the bot. This must be running for the bot to function.
