Documentation

Everything you need to put your bot online and keep it healthy.

Languages

Dependencies are installed from package.json with your package manager (npm, pnpm or yarn depending on your lockfile). The start script is used when present.

package.json

{
  "name": "my-bot",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": { "start": "node index.js" },
  "dependencies": {
    "discord.js": "^14.19.3",
    "dotenv": "^16.5.0"
  }
}

index.js

require('dotenv').config();
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });
client.once('ready', (c) => console.log(`Logged in as ${c.user.tag}`));
client.login(process.env.TOKEN);

💡

TypeScript: compile before uploading (dist/), or add a start script that runs your compiled file.
