BoterbotTS

Discord bot written in TypeScript.

Install

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/sholtrop/boterbotTS

2. Then install the dependencies:

cd boterbotTS && npm install

3. Add a dev.env file with:

BOT_TOKEN=<your token here>

Never commit this file, as you would expose your bot's secret token!

4. Run the dev setup with:

npm run dev

Deploying

Heroku

I personally use a Docker image in combination wit heroku. A heroku.yml file is included for this purpose. Set up a Heroku account, and follow the instructions here.

Docker-compose

You will need to add two files:

• db.env with

MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=<any username you want>
MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=<any password you want>

• bot.env with

MONGODB_URI=<mongodb://<username from db.env>:<password from db.env>@database:27017
BOT_TOKEN=<your token here>

Then you can launch the bot with docker-compose up --build.
