djs-boilerplate

CLI tool to scaffold Discord.js bot projects. Born out of my own need — I build a lot of Discord bots and got tired of setting up the same boilerplate every time.

Usage

npx djs-boilerplate my-bot

Features

• TypeScript or JavaScript
• Slash commands, prefix commands, or both
• Optional src/ folder structure
• MongoDB integration (optional)
• Dynamic event and command handler
• Example helper system (e.g. ticket system)

What you get

my-bot/
├── commands/
│   ├── slash/
│   └── prefix/
├── events/
│   └── discord/
├── handlers/
│   ├── events.ts
│   ├── commands.ts
│   ├── helpers.ts
│   └── manager/
├── helpers/
├── models/
├── types/
├── utils/
└── index.ts

Options

| Prompt | Choices | |---|---| | Package manager | npm, pnpm, bun | | Language | TypeScript, JavaScript | | Command style | Slash, Prefix, Both | | src/ folder | Yes, No | | Database | None, MongoDB |

After scaffolding

cd my-bot
cp .env.example .env
# Add your bot token to .env
