🔧 Setup Instructions

1. Install Discord Bot

1. Create a Discord bot at Discord Developer Portal
2. Enable these bot permissions:
   • Server Members Intent
   • Presence Intent
   • View Channels
3. Invite the bot to your server

2. Setup Activity Tracker Server

1. Clone the Discord Activity Tracker repository
2. Install dependencies: npm install
3. Configure environment variables:

   DISCORD_TOKEN=your_bot_token
   SERVER_ID=your_server_id
   MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_uri

4. Start the server: npm run dev

3. Use the Hook

import { useOrion } from 'use-orion';

function MyComponent() {
  const { user, loading, error, isConnected } = useOrion('USER_ID');

  // Your component logic here
}

⚠️ Important Notes

• Server Requirement: Users must be in the same Discord server where the bot is running
• Bot Permissions: Bot needs Server Members Intent and Presence Intent enabled
• Real-time Updates: WebSocket connection provides instant updates when user activities change
• Rate Limiting: The hook automatically handles reconnection and rate limiting
• Error Handling: Built-in error handling for connection issues and invalid user IDs

🐛 Troubleshooting

User not found error

• Ensure the user is in the same Discord server as the bot
• Check that the bot has proper permissions
• Verify the user ID is correct (17-19 digits)

Connection issues

• Check if the Activity Tracker server is running
• Verify the server URL is correct
• Ensure WebSocket connections are allowed in your network

No real-time updates

• Check browser console for WebSocket connection errors
• Verify the bot is online and tracking users
• Ensure the server is configured correctly
