Stamp

A Discord chat interaction (slash command) for generating user-timestamps.

Adding this interaction to your server

Click here to authorize this interaction on your server. No further setup is required as this is the bot instance centrally hosted by us (gallowaylabs).

Setting up your own version

This application is tightly coupled to AWS; it uses AWS CDK, an AWS-flavored Terraform tool, to deploy resources and uses AWS-specific features like Lambda and ApiGateway.

Pre-requisites:

• An AWS account
• AWS CLI V2 installed and configured
• Node >16

1. Install AWS CDK globally

npm install -g aws-cdk

2. Install dependencies

npm i

3. Generate an application and bot in the Discord developer portal
4. Copy example configuration to active configuration

cp .env.example .env

5. Fill in the .env configuration parameters with your AWS account id and Discord app/bot credentials
6. Deploy to AWS

cdk deploy --all

7. After deployment, CDK will print the base URL for the API. Copy that to the "Interactions Endpoint URL" under "General Information" in the Discord Developer Portal
8. Publish the command interaction definitions to Discord

npm run publishCommands

To add your newly created interaction to a server that you administer:

1. in the Discord Developer Portal go to OAuth2 > URL Generator
2. Select "applications.commands"
3. Copy the generated link and go to it in a browser window where you're logged into Discord
4. Authorize the application
5. You can now use /stamp and /timestamp commands in the server you authorized

Useful commands

• cdk deploy deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
