Create your own discord bot - Fully customizable and with a lot of features. This bot is for advanced JS-Users, you should only use it if you have some experience with Javascript, discord.js and JSON files.

Go check it out on our website (currently only german).

We really love open-source. Please read the license and follow it.
In short words: You have to

• Disclose the source (Your source code has made available when using this bot)
• State changes (every change to the source code must be documented and published)\

Please read the full license. This is not legal advice.

This repo does not get any new modules currently. Learn more.

Installation
Features
Configuration
Modules
Add your own module (or API)

1. Clone this repo
2. Run npm ci
3. Run npm run generate-config
4. Replace your token in the config/config.json file.
5. Start the bot with npm start
6. The bot is now generating a modules.json and a strings.json file inside your config directory. You can change them.

• Everything is split in different modules - you can enable, configure and disable it how you want
• Highly configurable - The goal with this bot is that you can change everything
• Add your own modules
• Easy configuration - Every config field has a description in an example file

You can find all the configuration-files inside your config folder. Every enabled module will have their own folder with config-files inside them. These files are generated automatically. Every module has slightly different configuration options. Every module has example files. Inside these files are more information about every configuration option.
Some config values also support embeds. This is the case if allowEmbed is true.
You either input a string (normal discord message), or an embed object with the following values:

• title: Title of the embed
• message: Message outside the embed (optional)
• description: Description of the embed (optional)
• color: Color of the embed, must be a ColorResolvable (optional)
• url: URL of the embed (optional)
• image: Image of the embed, should be an url (optional)
• thumbnail: Thumbnail-Image of the embed, should be an url (optional)
• author (optional):
  • name: Name of the author
  • img: Image of the author, should be an url
• fields: Fields of the embed, must be an array of EmbedFieldData (optional)

The footer of the embed is global and is defined in your global strings.json file. The timestamp is set automatically to the current time.

The bot is split in modules. Each module can register their own commands, events and even database models, so they can do basically anything. Every module can register "example-config-files" witch are files with information about the config file, so the bot can automatically check configs and do all the boring stuff for you.

As per the License you have to make every of your modules publicly available under the same license. Please read the license for more information.

Before you make a module: Please create an issue with your suggestion and claim that you are working on it so nobody is working on the same thing (;
Submit a module: Simply create a pullrequest, and we will check your module and merge it then (;

Every module has to contain a module.json file with the following content:

• name of the module. Should be the same as the name of your dictionary.
• author
  • name: Name of the author
  • link: Link to the author
• description: Short description of the module
• commands-dir (optional): Directory inside your module folder where all the command-files are in
• on-load-event (optional): File with exported onLoad function in it. Gets executed when your config got checked successfully.
• events-dir (optional): Directory inside your module folder where all the event-files are in
• models-dir (optional): Directory inside your module folder where all the models-files are in
• config-example-files (optional, seriously leave this out when you don't have config files): Array of config-files inside your module directory.

A command file has to export the following things:

• run: Function that gets triggered if the command gets executed (provided arguments: client (discord.js Client), msg (MessageObject), args (Array of arguments))
• help
  • name: Name of the command (should be the same name as the file name)
  • description: Description of the command
  • module: Name of your module
  • aliases: Array of all aliases. Should contain the value of name.
• config
  • args: Does this command need arguments? (boolean)
  • restricted: Can this command only be run by the bot owner (e.g. change status or something IDK, boolean)

An event file should export the following things:

• run: Function that gets triggered if the event gets executed (provided arguments: client (discord.js Client) and all the arguments that gets past by discord.js for this event)

An example config file should include the following things:

• filename: Name of the generated config file
• configElements (boolean, default: false): If enabled the configuration-file will be an array of an object of the content-fields
• content: Array of content fields:
  • field_name: Name of the config field
  • default: Default value
  • type: Can be channelID, select, roleID, boolean, integer, array, keyed (codename for an JS-Object) or string
  • description: Short description of this field
  • allowEmbed (if type === array, keyed or string): Allow the usage of an embed (Note: Please use the build-in function in src/functions/helpers.js)
  • content (if type === array): Type (see type above) of every value
  • content (if type === select): Array of the possible options
  • content (if type === keyed):
    • key: Type (see type above) of the index of every value
    • value: Type (see type above) of the value of every value
  • params (if type === string, array, optional)
    • name: Name of the parameter (e.g. %mention%)
    • description: Description of the parameter (e.g. Mention of the user)
  • allowNull (default: false, optional): If the value of this field can be empty
  • disableKeyEdits (if type === keyed): If enabled the user is not allowed to change the keys of this element

If you plan to use the ready event of discord.js to run some action when the client is ready, and you need to load some configuration-files you should use the botReady-event instead.
