# Learn Build Teach Discord Bot

This bot allows [Learn Build Teach Discord](https://discord.gg/vM2bagU) members to share content, give kudos to other members, etc.

For a quick a overview of how to create a Discord Bot with Node.js here are a few resources.

- [Discord Bot Tutorial | JavaScript & Node.js](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDQAn18-2go&ab_channel=Andy%27sTechTutorials)
- [Create a Discord Bot with Node.js](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmKXBVdEV0g&ab_channel=TraversyMedia)
- [Code a Discord Bot with JavaScript - Host for Free in the Cloud](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rU_KyudGBY&t=14s&ab_channel=freeCodeCamp.org)

## Code overview

### Commands

Individual commands have their own file inside of the `/src/commands` directory. Each command should export an object with three properties.

- callback - a callback function that is triggered when the command is used
- name - the name of the command
- description - short description of what the command does

The callback function accepts one parameter which is a `Command Interaction`. Check out [Creating Slash Commands Documentation](https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/slash-commands.html#before-you-continue) for more info.

Here is an example.

```javascript
const resetProfile = async (interaction: CommandInteraction) => {
//some logic
};
export default {
callback: resetProfile,
name: 'resetprofile',
description: 'Reset your profile settings',
};
```

## Server

The backend is a Node.js and Express app. This is used to handle API requests that are deteailed in the `/src/server/routes` directory.

## Utils

These are utility files for interacting with Discord, Supabase, Twitter, etc.

## How to run

### 1) Install dependencies

```sh
npm install
```

### 2) Get the API keys/credentials

You can get the API keys from the following websites

- [Discord](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
- [Supabase](https://supabase.com/)
- [Discord Guide](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-build-a-discord-bot-with-node-js)
- [Twitter API Docs](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api)

### 3) Set the environment variables

In a `.env` file, make sure to include the requied environment variables listed below.

You will need to create your own test server in Discord as well as a project in Supabase. We are thinking through easier ways to help with this process if you have ideas.
