discord bot (V. 3.0.0)
- Access the Discord Developer Portal with your Discord credentials. (do not be afraid, is a discord platform)
- Create a new Application. (This would be the platform where you will be able to create your bot)
- Fill the General Information tab. (Here you can modify the name, the description, the icon of your bot and many other things)
- Fill the OAuth2 tab.
- first go to URL Generator and generate a URL for your bot with the bot scope and admin role permission.
- then copy the URL and paste it in the General Tab.
- paste the link also in a new tab and invit the bot to your server.
- Now head to the Bot tab.
- Give a username and an icon to your bot.
- Copy the Bot Token and paste it somewhere you can access later.
- If you want, you can add a cover image to your bot in the Rich Presence tab and Art Assets subsection.
- You can also invite a friend in the App Testers tab.
- If you don't have it, download Visual Studio, visual studio code, git and node.js and install them.
- On Visual Studio: install the "Desktop Development with C++" Workload;
- clone this repository in your local machine with the help of git documentation.
- open the local repository with visual studio code.
- now rename the file myconfig.json to config.json and fill it with your prefix an token (the one you previously saved) and save (TIP: use ctrl+s or ⌘+s).
- now open the vscode terminal and run the command:
npm install
- now there should be a file called package-lock.json in the repository.
- now run the command:
node Mhanz.js
and you should be able to see the bot in your server.
- You can modify the bot by editing the files Mhanz.js and deploy-commands.js
- add your own slash commands in deploy-commands.js with the class
slashCommandBuilder()
- in Mhanz.js, modify only the section inside the
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
// your code here
});
- you have to stop the bot by typing
ctrl+c
or⌘+c
in the terminal, in order to apply the modifications. - then run again the command:
node Mhanz.js
.
discord.js is a powerful Node.js module that allows you to easily interact with the Discord API.
- Object-oriented
- Predictable abstractions
- Performant
- 100% coverage of the Discord API
Node.js 16.9.0 or newer is required.
npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js
- zlib-sync for WebSocket data compression and inflation (
npm install zlib-sync
) - erlpack for significantly faster WebSocket data (de)serialisation (
npm install discord/erlpack
) - bufferutil for a much faster WebSocket connection (
npm install bufferutil
) - utf-8-validate in combination with
bufferutil
for much faster WebSocket processing (npm install utf-8-validate
) - @discordjs/voice for interacting with the Discord Voice API (
npm install @discordjs/voice
)
Install discord.js:
npm install discord.js
yarn add discord.js
pnpm add discord.js
Register a slash command against the Discord API:
const { REST, Routes } = require('discord.js');
const commands = [
{
name: 'ping',
description: 'Replies with Pong!',
},
];
const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);
(async () => {
try {
console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');
await rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(CLIENT_ID), { body: commands });
console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
})();
Afterwards we can create a quite simple example bot:
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
client.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;
if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {
await interaction.reply('Pong!');
}
});
client.login(TOKEN);
