vexbot is a custom discord bot designed for communities that participate in the VEX Robotics Competition.
To get started, clone this repository with your project name:
git clone https://github.com/MayorMonty/vexbot
cd vexbot
Create the secrets JSON object from the secret.templates folder. This folder is hidden and gitignore and can be used to store tokens and secrets. The benefit of this approach is the strong typescript support out of the box due to JSON imports.
cp -r secret.templates secret
You will need to fill the discord.json with token, and clientID Go to the applications page on Discord Developments to obtain this information. Additionally you should specify a developmentGuild to deploy slash commands to upon hot reloading during development.
Once all of the secrets have been added, install, and run dev!
npm install
npm run dev
