hubot-discobot

A Hubot adapter for Discord, using the Discord.js API supporting the latest versions of Discord.js and Hubot. Make your own highly customizable Discord Bot.

Information

Originally based on disbot - https://github.com/atomicptr/disbot

Current Discord.js version: 13.3.1 Required Node.js version: >= 16.6.0

For an example of a working, complete implementation of Hubot and Hubot-discobot adapter, check out TremBot: https://github.com/Pwn9/TremBot

See TremBot in action on the Pwn9 Discord Channel, get your server invite at http://discord.pwn9.com

Features

  • Discord.js version ^13.3.1
  • More configurable hubot / discord bot instance (see ENV in setup below)
  • Extend more Discord features into the adapter (The entire instance of Discord.js is extended to hubot scripts via robot.client where client = discord client)
  • Must be Discord.js version 13+ due to breaking changes from Discord.js v12

Setup

First, you should have hubot installed and understand that the purpose of the adapter (like this one) is to connect a hubot to an endpoint, whether that be IRC, Slack, Campfire, or in our case: Discord! Learn more at https://hubot.github.com/docs/

After that, setup is easy, just use NPM to install this adapter from github (and eventually from NPM):

npm install hubot-discobot --save

Then run hubot with the adapter flag

./bin/hubot -a discobot

You may also use a .json file with the env object set.

"env": {
    "HUBOT_DISCORD_TOKEN": "your token here",
    "HUBOT_DISCORD_INTENTS": intents bitflag
    "HUBOT_DISCORD_PARTIALS": [partials array]         
    "HUBOT_DISCORD_ACTIVITY": "Super Bot Bash"
    "HUBOT_DISCORD_ACTIVITY_TYPE": "PLAYING"
}

IMPORTANT: you need to have an environment variable called HUBOT_DISCORD_TOKEN with your Bot token which you can get here: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

Environment Variables

If environment variables are not set, they will fallback to a default, with the except of token. Without a token the bot will fail and not run.

HUBOT_DISCORD_TOKEN

IMPORTANT: you need to have an environment variable called HUBOT_DISCORD_TOKEN with your Bot token which you can get here: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

HUBOT_DISCORD_INTENTS

As of Discord.js v13 Intents are required to define your bots privileges: https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#privileged-intents

Intents is set as a bitflag, by default hubot-discobot will fallback to full intents which is 32767 - this may be unsafe and you should define your specific intents accordingly.

HUBOT_DISCORD_PARTIALS

As of Discord.js v13 Partials are required to pull data from certain events, this comes with some benefits and drawbacks, learn more at: https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/partials.html#partial-structures

Partials is set as an array of values, by default hubot-discobot will fallback to full partials which is ['MESSAGE', 'CHANNEL', 'REACTION', 'USER', 'GUILD_MEMBER']

HUBOT_DISCORD_ACTIVITY

Set the default activity that you want your bot to have.

HUBOT_DISCORD_ACTIVITY_TYPE

Set the default activity type.

Creating scripts for your Hubot instance, with discord adpater API

You can access the discord client via robot.client. See the discord.js docs for ways to use the discord API: https://discord.js.org

Examples

Using the environment variables for your bot, you can set a custom status. Documentation available: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/typedef/ActivityOptions

Activity type can be one of: PLAYING, STREAMING, LISTENING, WATCHING, COMPETING

For additional scripting examples, see the examples folder for a script in javascript that can set the bots current activity.
