Creating your First Discord Bot Application

Plenty of guides are available on how to create a Discord Bot Application.

Creating an Application on the Developer Portal, name something cool and pick a sweet icon!
After creating an application. Save the Client ID. Thats the unique identifier for a Discord Bot.
Now, go and create a bot by clicking the Bot tab. You will see a Token section and thats the Discord Bot's token. Make sure you don't share that token with anyone!!!
Invite the bot to the server, you can use the Discord Permissions Calculator for creating the invite link with custom permissions. By default, 0 means no permissions and 8 means Administrator.

Now you've created an Application but it will need some code in order for it to be online. Thats when Discordeno comes in handy!

Make sure you store your tokens in a file that is NOT deployed by adding it to the .gitignore file. Don't share your bot token with anybody.

Installation

You can install Discordeno by importing:

import Client from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Skillz4Killz/Discordeno/v7/src/module/client.ts";

Example Usage

Starting with Discordeno is very simple, you can start from scratch without any boilerplates/frameworks: Add this snippet of code into a new TypeScript file:

import Client from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Skillz4Killz/Discordeno/v7/src/module/client.ts";
import { sendMessage } from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Skillz4Killz/Discordeno/v7/src/handlers/channel.ts";
import { Intents } from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Skillz4Killz/Discordeno/v7/src/types/options.ts";
import config from "./config.ts";

Client({
    token: config.token,
    intents: [Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES, Intents.GUILDS],
    eventHandlers: {
        ready: () => {
            console.log(`Logged!`);
        },
        messageCreate: (message) => {
            if (message.content === "!ping") {
                sendMessage(message.channel, "Pong");
            }
        }
    }
});

Alternatively, you can use boilerplate template repositories that were created by wonderful developers. This will get the base of your bot pre-built for you. Overtime, developers create other command frameworks for this library and they will be listed here:

Bot Name	Developer	Links	Description
Official Boilerplate	Skillz4Killz#4500	GitHub, Support Server	This is a very minimalistic design for a boilerplate for your bot to get you started.
DenoBot	NTM Nathan#0001	GitHub, Support Server	Another boilerplate example of the first one, with more commands and improvements.
