Create DJS Bot

The easiest way to get started with a Discord.js v14 bot is by using @baldybdev/create-djs-bot. This CLI tool enables you to quickly scaffold a new Discord.js application, with everything set up for you. You can create a new bot project interactively or non-interactively with command line arguments.

Interactive

You can create a new project interactively by running:

npx @baldybdev/create-djs-bot@latest

You will be asked for:

• The name of your bot folder
• Your Discord bot token (optional)
• Your Discord bot client ID (optional)
• The package manager to use (npm, yarn, or pnpm)

Example prompt:

? Bot folder name: my-djs-bot
? Bot token (optional, you can fill it in later):
? Bot client ID (optional, you can fill it in later):
? Which package manager do you want to use? (Use arrow keys)
❯ npm
  yarn
  pnpm

Non-interactive

You can also pass command line arguments to set up a new project non-interactively. See npx @baldybdev/create-djs-bot@latest --help
