# Installation
## System requirements
- _Node.js_ 16.6.0 or newer
- _npm_ or _yarn_ package manager
## Creating a project
### Registering Discord app
1. Visit [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/) and create an app
2. Navigate to the _Bot_ section and register a bot
3. Navigate to _OAuth 2_ section, select _bot_ and _application.commands_ scopes and check bot permissions
4. Copy the link and add your bot to the servers
### Creating application
1. Create empty directory
2. Run `npm init -y` or `yarn init -y`
3. Add the CommandBot package
```javascript
// npm
npm install commandbot@latest
// yarn
yarn add commandbot@latest
```
4. Create _index.js_ file
5. Import the CommandBot package
```javascript
// CommonJS
const { Bot, Command } = require("commandbot");
// ES Modules (to use ESM add "type": "module" to your package.json file)
import { Bot, Command } from "commandbot";
```
6. Initialize the bot instance
```javascript
const bot = new Bot({
name: "YOUR_BOT_NAME",
prefix: "BOT_PREFIX", // bot prefix (optional) (if undefined, only slash commands will be available)
argumentSeparator: ",", // used to separate parameters from messages (optional)
clientOptions: {
intents: [..."DISCORD_API_INTENTS"],
}, // Discord.js ClientOptions (optional)
token: "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN", // Discord bot token
applicationId: "APPLICATION_ID", // Discord application ID used to register slash commands
});
```
Links
- [DISCORD_API_INTENTS](https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Intents)
- [ClientOptions](https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/typedef/ClientOptions)
7. Create and add commands to the _Bot_ instance (see [Commands](#commands))
8. Start your bot
```javascript
bot.start(
port, // If passed, the application will create a HTTP server
true // If true, the app will register all slash commands in the Discord API (it's recommended setting it to false after registering to avoid reaching daily quota)
);
```
# Commands
To create a command, initialize a _Command_ object
Example:
```javascript
const cmdGreet = new Command({
name: "greet",
parameters: [
{
name: "name",
description: "Name that will be greeted",
optional: true,
type: "string",
},
],
aliases: ["hello"],
description: "Welcomes someone",
usage: "[name]",
permissionCheck: "ALL",
permissions: ["SEND_MESSAGES"],
guilds: undefined,
visible: true,
slash: true,
annouceSuccess: true,
function: function(p. m) {
if(p('name')) {
return `Hello, ${p('name')}!`
}
else {
return 'Hello!'
}
}
});
// Register
bot.commands.add(cmdGreet)
```
