Discord Air Raid Alert Bot

The purpose of this project is to create a Discord bot that sends private messages about air raid alerts in Ukraine, leveraging a specialized API and a Redis database.

Project Benefits

This project provides timely and critical information about air raid alerts directly to users via Discord, helping them stay informed and safe.

How the Project Works

The project uses Node.js to create a Discord bot that fetches air raid alert data from a special API, stores and manages alert information using Redis, and sends private notifications to users.

Repository and Installation

GitHub Repository

To install and run the project:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Fulldroper/discord.bot.air-raid-alert
   cd discord.bot.air-raid-alert

2. Install dependencies and start the bot:

   npm install
   npm start

Project Workflow

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

   npm init
   npm install

2. Create Discord Bot: Set up the bot to connect to Discord and listen for commands.

   const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
   const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages] });
   const redis = require('redis');
   const redisClient = redis.createClient();
   
   client.once('ready', () => {
       console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
   });
   
   client.login('your-token-goes-here');

3. Implement Alert Notifications: Fetch alert data and send notifications.

   const fetch = require('node-fetch');
   
   async function checkAlerts() {
       const response = await fetch('https://api.air-raid-alerts.com/alerts');
       const data = await response.json();
   
       data.alerts.forEach(alert => {
           // Send alert notification
           client.users.cache.get(alert.userId).send(`Air raid alert: ${alert.message}`);
       });
   }
   
   setInterval(checkAlerts, 60000); // Check every minute
