discord-js-init

A discord.js bot environment setup for you to use in all your Discord Bot projects based on Slash Commands!

Environment setup

1. pull the repository to your local workplace.
2. execute the command npm install
3. cerate a .env file with all the credentials you need.
4. execute node deploy-commands.js each time you make a new command file in the commands folder
5. you are ready to go, invite your bot to your server and have fun with your slash commands!

Notes

• In case you want to work with mongoose, it's already built in, if not just replace the index.js file with the following:

const { Client, Collection, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
require('dotenv').config();

const myIntents = new Intents(32767);

const client = new Client({ intents: myIntents, partials: ['MESSAGE', 'CHANNEL', 'REACTION'] });

client.commands = new Collection();
client.events = new Collection();

['command_handler', 'event_handler'].forEach(handler => {
	require(`./handlers/${handler}`)(client);
});

client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);

• For any command you would like to create, create a new file with the name of the command example: ping.js and place it in the commands folder. Make sure each command file has this same code structure:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

module.exports = {
	data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
		.setName('ping')
		.setDescription('Replies with Pong!'),
	async execute(interaction) {
		await interaction.reply('Pong!');
	},
};

That's it, good luck and have fun!
