# Discord bot starter template (NodeJS)
## Pre-requisites
- [Node 12 or newer](https://nodejs.org/en/) (LTS recommended)
- [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) (or similar)
- [Discord Server](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/204849977-How-do-I-create-a-server-)
## Quick start
> Go to Discord Apps Dashboard to create your new application or bot: https://discord.com/developers/applications/
1. Create a `New Application`
2. Setup an app name and click on `Create`
3. Go to `Bot` settings and add a new one (here you can find the `bot token`)
4. Go to `OAuth2` set the stope to `bot`
5. Set the bot permissions to `Administrator`
6. Copy the scope invitation link and paste on a new tab. Then invite the bot to your server
## Before starting the project
Run the following command:
```sh
npm init # to setup your package
npm i discord.js # to install a Discord package and interact with their API
cp config.mock.json config.json # to setup the your private bot token
```
Then update the `BOT_TOKEN` with your real one in the `config.js` file.
```json
{
"BOT_TOKEN": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE"
}
```
> You can reveal your private bot token in the `Bot` dashboard settings
## Run your project
```sh
node index.js
```
> Now you can see your bot online on your Discord server
