Discord Bot Template

This repository provides a template for building Discord bots using Python and discord.py. It includes features like slash commands, cogs (modules), a MongoDB database connection, and a custom logger.

Features

• Slash Commands: Uses discord.py's app_commands for easy slash command creation.
• Cogs: Organizes bot functionality into separate modules (cogs) for better code structure.
• MongoDB: Includes a MongoDB class for seamless interaction with a MongoDB database.
• Custom Logger: Provides a logger object with colored output and emoji support for enhanced log readability.
• Configuration: Bot settings are stored in config.json for easy customization.

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher
• discord.py
• emoji
• colorama
• motor

Install the necessary packages using pip install -r requirements.txt.

Setup

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install the required packages.
3. Configure the bot by editing config.json.
   • Replace "Your Token" with your bot's token.
   • Update the bot's description, presence, and other settings.
   • Configure the MongoDB connection URI and database names.
4. Create your bot's commands and logic in the cogs directory.
5. Run the bot using python launcher.py.

Usage

The template includes a test.py cog with a /test command as an example. You can expand upon this or create your own cogs.

You're right, the previous format for the configuration section might be a bit difficult to read. Here's an alternative using a table, which should provide a clearer and more organized presentation:
