This template is designed for bots that aim or are already in millions of Discord servers. It is written with Node.js as currently Deno & Bun are not ready to run something at such a scale. The general idea of this template can be modified for any other runtime if this improves in the future.

Make sure to install the latest version when you use it.

Setup

Run a find all for // SETUP-DD-TEMP: and follow all instructions and delete the comments as you finish them.

Startup

To start your bot, you will need to start a few processes. The instructions below will use node but you can use something like pm2 to help keep your processes alive.

Please compile everything first with tsc.

Start REST
- ts-node src/rest/index.ts
Start Gateway
- ts-node src/gateway/index.ts
Start Bot
- ts-node src/bot/index.ts

Improvements

Change configs.ts file to use an .env file.
