DiscordBotHx

This is, as you already know if you read the description, a framework to create a bot for Discord using DiscordJS with Haxe.

History

Haxe is a strict meta language. That means you can code in Haxe and compile your code in other languages such as JavaScript. So I decided to create a bot using the DiscordJS library and Haxe. But this language has a strict compiler, and you can't just go "Yeah, instanciate Discord.Client, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!". You have to explain him how to work with the library using externs. That's what DiscordHx is about. With DiscordBotHx (which uses, you guessed it, DiscordHx), you have the "boring" part of creating a Discord bot already done.

Installation

You can either set DiscordBotHx as a dependency in your package.json, or you can clone this repository and execute npm install.

Now, you need to go in the test/auth folder and make a copy of AuthDetails_example.hx that you will name AuthDetails.hx. Open this file and fill it with your Discord API credentials. You can also add your CleverbotIO credentials if you have some.

Then, you can run npm run test to compile the example bot. A bot.js file will be in the out folder. All that you need to do is run node --harmony out/bot.js, and the bot will be launched.
