Discord Ephemeral Voice Bot • Fulldroper`s personal site

The purpose of the project is to create a Discord bot that manages dynamic voice channels. It is useful for creating temporary voice channels that can be automatically managed and deleted, ensuring efficient use of server resources.

The project works by monitoring user activity in voice channels. When a user joins a designated voice channel, the bot creates a new temporary voice channel for them. The bot also handles permission synchronization to ensure that users have the correct access rights.

To install the project, follow these steps:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Fulldroper/discord.bot.ephemeral-voice.git

Navigate to the project directory:
Terminal window
```
cd discord.bot.ephemeral-voice
```
Install dependencies:
Terminal window
```
npm install
```
Configure your Discord bot token in the .env file:
```
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_token_here
```
Start the bot:
Terminal window
```
npm start
```

The bot operates using the following algorithm:

Initialization: Load environment variables and set up Discord client.

require('dotenv').config();
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES] });
client.login(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN);

Voice State Update Handling: Listen for voice state changes and create/delete channels as needed.

client.on('voiceStateUpdate', async (oldState, newState) => {
    if (newState.channel && newState.channel.name === 'Join to Create') {
        const channel = await newState.guild.channels.create(`Temp Channel ${newState.member.user.username}`, { type: 'GUILD_VOICE' });
        newState.setChannel(channel);
    }
    if (oldState.channel && oldState.channel.members.size === 0 && oldState.channel.name.startsWith('Temp Channel')) {
        oldState.channel.delete();
    }
});

During the development of this project, I gained skills in:

Discord.js library for interacting with the Discord API
Node.js for building and running the bot
Handling asynchronous operations in JavaScript
Managing environment variables for secure configuration
