Discraft

Discraft is a powerful framework for creating Discord bots, offering a robust CLI and a set of tools to streamline the development process. Think of it like Next.js but for Discord bots.

Installation

You can intsall Discraft via npm:

npm install discraft --save-dev # Use this to install Discraft in the current project
npm install discraft -g # May require sudo, globally installs Discraft so you can use it from anywhere

Usage

Discraft provides a CLI interface. You can use Discraft like this:

npx discraft [command]
# or
discraft [command]

CLI Commands

• discraft init: Initialize a new Discraft project.
• discraft dev: Start the development server.
• discraft build: Build the project for production.
• discraft start: Start the production server.

Project Structure

The project is organized into several directories:

• src/commands: Contains command files for the bot.
• src/events: Contains event handlers for the bot.
• src/config: Configuration files.
• src/handlers: Handlers for various bot functionalities.
• src/services: Services used by the bot. (Right now, just Discord)
• src/utils: Utility functions.

Development

To start the development server, use the following command:

discraft dev

This will watch for changes in the src directory and automatically restart the server.

Build

To build the project for production, use the following command:

discraft build

This will bundle the source files using Rollup and apply Babel transformations. The output will be placed in the dist directory.

Production

To start the bot in production mode, use the following command:

discraft start

Ensure that you have built the project before starting it in production mode.

Setup

   npm install

2. Create a .env file with your bot token:

   BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here
   CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
