Discord.js bot template

This is a simple to understand open-source template for building your own Discord bot using Node.js and the latest Discord.js version. Whether you're a beginner or not, this template offers a great starting point to create your own fully functional bot.

Note

New example commands are still being worked on, check back later for more features!

First time setup

Node modules

Installing the correct packages can be done with the following npm command:

  npm i

To be able to run this code locally your device will need to have Node.JS installed, which can be found here

Bot token

Make sure to create a new file named config.json in the main file path of your project! The .gitignore file can be removed, as it does not impact the code functionality.

Folder structure example

In this file you can store the bot token for the code to use.

  {
    "token": "Bot token here"
  }

The .gitignore file can be removed from your project folder.

Deployment

To run the code and make your Discord bot available run the following command in an intergrated terminal.

  node index.js
