# VidCord
## A Discord bot that provides extra inforamtion on video links
## Installation
1. Clone this repository and install the dependencies:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/SBence/vidcord.git
cd vidcord
npm install
```
2. Add your bot token to the `.env` file in the project directory:
```
DISCORD_TOKEN=
```
_For more information on how to create a bot application, [see here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/getting-started#creating-an-app)._
3. Run the application:
```sh
node src/index.js
```
## Bot usage
### Invite the bot to your server
For more information on how to do so, [see here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/getting-started#adding-scopes-and-permissions).
On the _OAuth2 URL Generator_ page, make sure to check **bot** under _Scopes_ and check **Read Messages/View Channels**, **Send Messages** and **Embed Links** under _Bot Permissions_.
The bot will automatically respond with video information when supported links are sent.
## Bot configuration
To prevent the bot from sending messages in certain channels, simply use Discord's permission system to disable the **View Channel** permission for the bot in such channels.
