Create simple, yet powerful discord bots focusing on commands.

What is it ?

Discot is a wrapper around discord.js to simplify the creation of server bots. It permists to focus on the creation of commands instead of spending time working with discord's API.

Usage

Installation

Discot can be installed using yarn or npm.

npm install discot
# or
yarn add discot

Example

const bot = new Bot({
    token: 'discord_token', // default value: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN
    prefix: '!'             // default value: '!'
});

bot.addCommand({
        name: 'ping',
        description: 'Reply pong',
        action: message => message.channel.send('pong')
    })
    .addCommand({
        name: 'say',
        description: 'Send the text passed as first argument. Usage: "!say hello"',
        action: (message, args) => message.channel.send(args[0]),
        requiredArgCount: 0
    })
    .start(() => console.log('Bot started.'));

message in the action method for a command is the object from discord.js

API

Bot constructor

const bot = new Bot({
    token: 'discord_token', // default value: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN
    prefix: '!'             // default value: '!'
});

Set your discord token in the env variable DISCORD_TOKEN (use dotenv).

bot.addCommand(command)

bot.addCommand({
    name: 'ping',              // name of the command, the one to type
    description: 'Reply pong', // description displayed in the help message
    action: message => message.channel.send('pong'), // action to execute when the command is triggered
    requiredArgCount: 1        // amount of required parameters for the command for validation
})                             

message in the action method for a command is the object from discord.js

bot.start(callback?)

bot.start(() => console.log('Bot started.'))

The callback is triggered when the bot is started.
