API Discord Bot Client

The purpose of this project is to create a client for Discord bots, similar to a regular client, specifically for bot moderation.

Project Benefits

This project facilitates the moderation of Discord servers by providing a dedicated client for bot management and moderation tasks.

How the Project Works

The project uses Node.js to create a client that interacts with Discord’s API, allowing bot moderation functionalities similar to those available to regular users.

Repository and Installation

GitHub Repository

To install and use the project:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Fulldroper/api.discord-bot
   cd api.discord-bot

2. Install dependencies and start the client:

   npm install
   npm start

Project Workflow

1. Setup Project: Initialize the project structure and dependencies.

   npm init
   npm install

2. Create Discord Bot Client: Set up the client to connect to Discord and perform moderation tasks.

       // env configuration
       process.env.NODE_ENV || await require('dotenv').config({ debug: false })
   
       // import configs
       const { config, description } = await require("./package.json")
   
       // import libs
       const { REST, Client, GatewayIntentBits } = await require('discord.js');
       const { readdirSync } = await require('node:fs')
       const fastify = require('fastify')({ logger: process.env.DEBUG || false })
   
       // init discord bot && rest obj
       const bot = new Client({ intents: [
           GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
               GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
               GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
               GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
           GatewayIntentBits.GuildIntegrations,
           GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions
       ] });
   
       // implement configs
       bot.config = config
       bot.types = require("./lib/types")

3. Implement Moderation Features: Add functionalities for moderating the server.

       // implement routes
       if (routes) {
           for (const key in routes) {
           const {path, method = 'get', run} = routes[key]
           const _run = run.bind(bot)
           fastify[method](path, _run)
           }
       }
   
       bot.login( process.env.TOKEN )
   
       fastify.listen({ port: process.env.PORT || 80, host: process.env.HOST || '0.0.0.0' }, (err, address) => {
           if (err) throw err
           console.log(`Server is now listening on ${address}`);
       })
