DiscordBot: Chef-Wildcat

Bot Setup

/ChefWildcat-bot NodeJS Dependencies To Install with NPM

Can be installed with npm install <package>

• Discord.js
• @discordjs/rest
• pg
• sequelize
• axios
• cheerio
• node-schedule

config.json Format

Create a config.json file with the following format.

{
    "token": "bot token here",
    "clientId": "oath2 client id here",
    "guildId": "testing server guild id here",
    "adminRole": "role name here, for running certain commands",
    "logChannelId": "channel id for the logging channel, bot must already be in the server"
}

Slash commands

These slash commands can be uploaded to a testing server using the deploy-commands.js script, given that the server guildId is saved in the config file and that the bot has been invited to the server with the slash command permission. Run using node deploy-commands.js <flag> with up to one flag at a time. The commands uploaded to a test server will all have "dev" added to the end of their descriptions, to distinguish between previously uploaded global commands.

Flags

• None: Default, uploads commands to a guild for testing
• -g: Uploads commands globally (may take an hour to reflect on Discord)
• -ct: Clears testing commands from the test guild (does not remove global commands)
• -cg: Clears global commands (may take an hour)

Docker

This application is containerized, so Docker must be started before running docker-compose up -d. The application runs in a NodeJS container named chefwildcat, and the Postgres database is in a container named pgdb. For testing, the docker-compose up --build can be used to follow the outputs of the containers. Additionally, docker-compose up -d --no-deps --build <service> can be used to rebuild and restart a single service rather than building and restarting all of the containers in the docker-compose file.
