Premium.djs

This guide will explain you how to create a Premium System for your Discord.js Bot.

Requirements

Basic Knowledge of JavaScript/NodeJS
Basic+ Knowledge of MongoDB/Mongoose
Basic+ experience with NPM
Good experience with Discord.js
A working connection to MongoDB with Schemas

Discord.js v13 or higher. Nodejs v16 or higher.

Understanding Pathing

/ = Root directory.
. = This location.
.. = Up a directory.
./ = Current directory.
../ = Parent of current directory.
../../ = Two directories backwards.

Get started

Lets get started by installing some dependencies, open your favourite terminal. Run the following Commands in your Terminal.

npm install voucher-code-generator
npm install moment
npm install discord.js@latest
npm install mongoose
npm install node-cron

Close your terminal, we won't need it while coding. The next steps are very easy. Create a folder called Models, the path would look like this: src/Models. In there, create a file called code.js.

We now want Mongoose to store the Data we generate.

const { Schema, model } = require("mongoose");

module.exports = model(
  "premium-codes",
  new Schema({
    code: {
      type: String,
      default: null,
    },

    // Set the expire date and time. <Day, Week, Month, Year>
    expiresAt: {
      type: Number,
      default: null,
    },

    // Set the plan <Day, Week, Month>.
    plan: {
      type: String,
      default: null,
    },
  })
);

Great. Now we want to do the same for our Users/Members. Create a file called User.js in the same Folder. The path would look like this: src/Models/User.js

const { Schema, model } = require("mongoose");

module.exports = model(
  "premium-user",
  new Schema({
    Id: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      unique: true,
    },
    isPremium: {
      type: Boolean,
      default: false,
    },
    premium: {
      redeemedBy: {
        type: Array,
        default: null,
      },

      redeemedAt: {
        type: Number,
        default: null,
      },

      expiresAt: {
        type: Number,
        default: null,
      },

      plan: {
        type: String,
        default: null,
      },
    },
  })
);

Cool. The next step is creating a code generator and a command to redeem them. Let's start with generating a premium code for our users. Go ahead and create a file called generate.js within your commands folder. The path would look something like this: src/commands/subfolder/generate.js

const {
  Message,
  PermissionFlagsBits,
  Client,
  EmbedBuilder,
} = require("discord.js");
const moment = require("moment");
const voucher_codes = require("voucher-code-generator");
const schema = require("../../../Models/Code");

module.exports = {
  name: "gencode",
  description: `generate premium codes`,
  userPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  botPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  category: "Owner",
  /**
   *
   * @param {Client} client
   * @param {Message} message
   * @param {String[]} args
   * @param {String} prefix
   */
  run: async (client, message, args, prefix) => {
    // Code
    if (message.author.id !== "Owner_ID") return;
    const plans = ["daily", "weekly", "monthly", "yearly"];
    const plan = args[0];
    const amount = args[1] || 1;
    const codes = [];
    let time;
    if (!plans.includes(plan)) {
      return message.reply(`Avalible Plans :: \n > \`${plans.join(", ")}\``);
    }
    if (plan === "daily") time = Date.now() + 86400000;
    if (plan === "weekly") time = Date.now() + 86400000 * 7;
    if (plan === "monthly") time = Date.now() + 86400000 * 30;
    if (plan === "yearly") time = Date.now() + 86400000 * 365;

    for (let i = 0; i < amount; i++) {
      const codePremium = voucher_codes.generate({
        pattern: "####-####-####",
      });
      // Save the Code as a String ("ABCDEF ...") in the Database
      const code = codePremium.toString().toUpperCase();
      // Security check, check if the code exists in the database.
      const find = await schema.findOne({
        code: code,
      });
      // If it does not exist, create it in the database.
      if (!find) {
        schema.create({
          code: code,
          plan: plan,
          expiresAt: time,
        });
        // Push the new generated Code into the Queue
        codes.push(`${i + 1}- ${code}`);
      }
    }
    // message.reply({
    //   content: `\`\`\`Generated +${codes.length}\n\n--------\n${codes.join(
    //     "\n"
    //   )}\n--------\n\nType - ${plan}\nExpires - ${moment(time).format(
    //     "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY"
    //   )}\`\`\`\nTo redeem, use \`${prefix}redeem <code>\``,
    // });
    message.reply({
      embeds: [
        new EmbedBuilder()
          .setColor("Blurple")
          .setTitle(`Generated ${codes.length} Codes`)
          .setDescription(
            `\`\`\`\n${codes.join("\n") || "No Codes Generated"} \`\`\``
          )
          .addFields([
            {
              name: `Expire At`,
              value: `<t:${Math.floor(time / 1000)}:F>`,
            },
          ])
          .setFooter({
            text: `To redeem, use ${prefix}redeem <code>`,
          }),
      ],
    });
  },
};

Perfect. Now our Bot is generating the Codes. We now want to redeem it and save it under our Profile Settings in the Database.

Go ahead and create a file within your commands folder called redeem.js The path would look like this: src/commands/subfolder/redeem.js

const { Message, PermissionFlagsBits, Client } = require("discord.js");
const moment = require("moment");
const Code = require("../../../Models/Code");
const User = require("../../../Models/User");

module.exports = {
  name: "redeem",
  description: `redeem premium codes`,
  userPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  botPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  category: "Misc",
  cooldown: 5,
  /**
   *
   * @param {Client} client
   * @param {Message} message
   * @param {String[]} args
   * @param {String} prefix
   */
  run: async (client, message, args, prefix) => {
    // Code
    let code = args.join(" "); // `!redeem ABCD-EFGH-IJKL`
    let user = await User.findOne({
      Id: message.author.id, // if you are using slash commands, swap message with interaction.
    });
    // Return an error if the User does not include any Premium Code
    if (!code) {
      return message.reply({
        content: `**Please specify the code you want to redeem!**`,
      });
    } else if (user && user?.isPremium) {
      // If the user is already a premium user, we dont want to save that so we return it.
      return message.reply({
        content: `**> You already are a premium user**`,
      });
    } else {
      // Check if the code is valid within the database
      const premium = await Code.findOne({
        code: code.toUpperCase(),
      });

      // Set the expire date for the premium code
      if (premium) {
        const expires = moment(premium.expiresAt).format(
          "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY HH:mm:ss"
        );
        // Once the code is expired, we delete it from the database and from the users profile
        user.isPremium = true;
        user.premium.redeemedBy.push({
          id: message.author.id,
          tag: message.author.tag,
        });
        user.premium.redeemedAt = Date.now();
        user.premium.expiresAt = premium.expiresAt;
        user.premium.plan = premium.plan;

        // Save the User within the Database
        user = await user.save({ new: true }).catch(() => {});
        client.userSettings.set(message.author.id, user);
        await premium.deleteOne().catch(() => {});

        // Send a success message once redeemed
        return message.reply({
          content: `**You have successfully redeemed premium!**\n\n\`Expires at: ${expires}\``,
        });

        // Error message if the code is not valid.
      } else {
        return message.reply({
          content: `**The code is invalid. Please try again using valid one!**`,
        });
      }
    }
  },
};

if you want to make premium users list command follow this code

const {
  Message,
  PermissionFlagsBits,
  Client,
  EmbedBuilder,
} = require("discord.js");
const moment = require("moment");

module.exports = {
  name: "premiumlist",
  description: `show all premium users`,
  userPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  botPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  category: "Owner",
  /**
   *
   * @param {Client} client
   * @param {Message} message
   * @param {String[]} args
   * @param {String} prefix
   */
  run: async (client, message, args, prefix) => {
    // Code
    if (message.author.id !== "Owner_ID") return;

    let data = client.userSettings
      .filter((data) => data?.isPremium === true)
      .map((data) => {
        return `<@${data.Id}> **Plan** : \`${
          data.premium.plan
        }\` **Expire At** :  <t:${Math.floor(
          data.premium.expiresAt / 1000
        )}:F> `;
      });

    message.reply({
      embeds: [
        new EmbedBuilder()
          .setTitle(`All Premium Users`)
          .setColor("Blurple")
          .setDescription(data.join("\n") || "No Premium User Found"),
      ],
    });
  },
};

if you want to remove a user from premium list follow this code

const { Message, PermissionFlagsBits, Client } = require("discord.js");
const User = require("../../../Models/User");

module.exports = {
  name: "rempremium",
  description: `remove premium from user`,
  userPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  botPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  category: "Owner",
  /**
   *
   * @param {Client} client
   * @param {Message} message
   * @param {String[]} args
   * @param {String} prefix
   */
  run: async (client, message, args, prefix) => {
    // Code
    if (message.author.id !== "Owner_ID") return;
    const user =
      message.mentions.members.first() ||
      message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);
    if (!user) {
      return message.reply({
        content: `> Mention a User `,
      });
    }
    let data = client.userSettings.get(user.id);
    if (!data?.isPremium) {
      return message.reply({
        content: `\`${user.user.username}\` is Not a Premium User`,
      });
    } else {
      await User.findOneAndRemove({ Id: user.id });
      await client.userSettings.delete(user.id);
      return message.reply({
        content: `Premium Removed From \`${user.user.username}\``,
      });
    }
  },
};

Perfect. But as you can see, we have a Collection called userSettings within our Code. Lets add it real quick to our Project before we are trying out our new Commands.

Go into your main file index.js / main.js / app.js .. In there, define client with the neccessary intents. Once done, add the following line into your code. *It should be below the client defination!!

client.userSettings = new Collection();

OPTIONAL The next step requires some working brain, try understanding it first before trying it. Go into your interactionCreate.js file. Define our Schema User and add it into the command. You can also use your own and just integrate the User into it. It's necessary so the bot can separate premium users of normal users.

// Check the guide at the beginning if you don't understand paths.
const client = require("../index");
const User = require("../Models/User");

client.on("messageCreate", async (message) => {
  if (message.author.bot || !message.guild) return;
  let prefix = "!";
  let args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/);
  let cmd = args.shift()?.toLowerCase();
  const command = client.mcommands.get(cmd);
  if (!command) return;
  if (command) {
    let user = client.userSettings.get(message.author.id);
    // If there is no user, create it in the Database as "newUser"
    if (!user) {
      const findUser = await User.findOne({ Id: message.author.id });
      if (!findUser) {
        const newUser = await User.create({ Id: message.author.id });
        client.userSettings.set(message.author.id, newUser);
        user = newUser;
      } else return;
    }
    if (command.premium && user && !user.isPremium) {
      return message.reply({
        content: `> \`${message.author.username}\` You are Not Premium User`,
      });
    } else {
      command.run(client, message, args, prefix);
    }
  }
});

Awesome. We now want the Bot define the User once going online. Go into your ready.js event. It's where the Bot is booting up.

const client = require("../index");
const User = require("../Models/User");

client.on("ready", async () => {
  console.log(`bot is ready for work !!`);
  // premium system loader
  const users = await User.find();
  users.forEach((user) => client.userSettings.set(user.Id, user));
});

Awesome. We are one step away! You might have seen a handler called premium in the last code snippet, let's work that out.

Your bot has at least one handler called command.js right? (events is also possible). Go ahead and create a file called premium.js within the handlers folder. The path may look like this: src/handlers/premium.js

const User = require("../Models/User");
const cron = require("node-cron");

// set the schedule, find the user in the database.
module.exports = async (client) => {
  console.log(`> Premium System Loaded !!`);
  cron.schedule("*/60 * * * * *", async () => {
    const users = await User.find({ isPremium: true });
    if (!users?.length) return;
    users?.forEach(async (user) => {
      if (Date.now() >= user.premium.expiresAt) {
        // Default: The user is not a premium User
        user.isPremium = false;
        user.premium.redeemedBy = [];
        user.premium.redeemedAt = null;
        user.premium.expiresAt = null;
        user.premium.plan = null;
        // Save the updated user within the usersSettings.
        const newUser = await user.save({ new: true }).catch(() => {});
        client.usersSettings.set(newUser.Id, newUser);
      }
    });
  });
};

AAAAND BOOM. We are done. You have successfully setup your own Premium System for your Discord Bot. Go ahead and start your Bot. Once online, run /gencode daily.

This will create a premium code that expires in exactly 24hours. Redeem the Code with /redeem <code>. :)

You might wonder, how you can strict a command down to only premium Users. I will show you one example, it's very easy.

const { Message, PermissionFlagsBits, Client } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
  name: "ping",
  description: "Get Bot Real Ping !!",
  userPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  botPermissions: PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
  category: "Misc",
  cooldown: 5,
  premium: true, // true if you want to make command premium
  /**
   *
   * @param {Client} client
   * @param {Message} message
   * @param {String[]} args
   * @param {String} prefix
   */
  run: async (client, message, args, prefix) => {
    // Code
    message.reply({
      content: `> Pong \`${client.ws.ping}\``,
    });
  },
};

Congrats. You now have a fully working premium system integrated.

Hopefully it helped you to make your bot a little bit better :)
