LexBot

A port of the LexBot Discord bot template to discord.js v13 and TypeScript.

Setup

1. Install all dependencies via npm install after cloning the repo.

2. Rename the example.env file to .env and add your Discord bot token.

TOKEN=
DEBUG=True

.env is part of the .gitignore file so changes won't be committed.

Production environment: remove the DEBUG line in the .env

npm Commands

Command	Description
npm run prebuild	Extract version from package.json.
npm run build	Build the typescript code.
npm run lint	Runs the linter on the code.
npm run start	Runs the bot from the built JavaScript.
npm run debug	Debug the TypeScript in watch mode.

Adding new commands

To add new commands add a .ts file in /commands/ or any subdirectory of /commands/. The command implements the Command interface with the following required properties:

export = {
    name: '',
    category: '',
    description: '',
    run: ({  }: CallbackOptions) => {
        // do stuff
    }
} as Command;

Check the CallbackOptions interface for possible properties. member is available for every CommandType. message and args are only available for NORMAL commands aka !commands while interaction is only available for SLASH commands.

Its mandatory to define the type if it's supposed to be SLASH command only

Example:

import { Command, CommandType } from '../interfaces/command';
import { CallbackOptions } from '../interfaces/CallbackOptions';

export = {
    name: 'ping',
    type: CommandType.SLASH,
    category: 'LexBot',
    description: 'Sends back pong',
    run: ({ interaction }: CallbackOptions) => {

        if (!interaction) return;
        interaction.reply('Pong!');
    },
} as Command;

Is the type set to SLASH or BOTH it will be added dynamically to the Discord command list. (Remember to set up a proper run function for it)
