# VoxelBotUtils

VoxelBotUtils (VBU) is an extension for Novus to speed up Discord bot development. It includes a whole slew of features that are commonly used in a lot of bots so you don't need to keep writing them every time. Many features are available to you by default:

* Built-in error handling for all of Novus's errors.

* Built-in database connector.

* Logging using Python's `logging.Logger` classes.

* Webhook sends on different events.

* Bot stats posting via StatsD and DataDog.

* A help command that doesn't look like trash.

* Owner-only commands.

* Presence auto-updating based on Twitch streamers.

* Website utilities.

* And more...

# Basic Usage

* Install VBU via pip - `pip install voxelbotutils`.

* Create your config file via CMD - `vbu create-config bot`.

* Update your auto-generated config file in `config/config.toml`.

* (Optional) Add/change any cogs you wish inside of the `cogs/` folder.

* Run your bot - `vbu run-bot`.
