discord-js-boilerplate

A boilerplate for a Discord bot written in TypeScript. The boilerplate is inspired by and based on a YouTube tutorial (which I can't find anymore).

Explanations

File Routing

[!NOTE] Each directory contains an example file. Files including .dev. (a.e. example.dev.ts) are only included in development mode. The files in the listed directories are automatically imported and registered when the bot starts up.\

• commands/: The commands folder.
• events/: The events folder.
• selections/: The selections folder.
• buttons/: The buttons folder.

Globals

[!NOTE] The globals can also be accessed without global.

• global.dev (boolean): Whether the bot is in development mode or not.
• global.client (Client): The Discord.js Client instance.
• global.env (Env): The environment variables.
• global.config (Config): Your config.json file, including type-safety.

Todo

• Add ESLint & Prettier
• Make env variables type-safe
• Add multiple-guild support
• Add runtime editing/unregistering to commands & events
• Improve buttons and selections.
  • Add temporary components
  • Add awaitable functions (maybe)
• Add a logger
• Add utilities (date formatting, etc.)
• Add stuff for User Applications
• Add an ORM, like Drizzle, or Prisma (maybe)
