Botalot.js

Botalot.js is a simple bot-making framework for Discord.

Development

Botalot.js is a side project to get familiar with Node.js, it's under development and may have bugs. I'm constantly trying out new stuff so expect the code to change alot.

Usage

Using Botalot.js is not that hard:

const { Botalot, CommandManager, parseCommands } = require("botalot.js");

let bot = new Botalot();

bot.registerCommandManager("!",  // Prefix for commands of this command manger
    new CommandManager(parseCommands({
        "name": ["hello", "hi"],  // String or array of strings; Command name people need to type to call this command
        "callback": "respondeText",  // Callback when users calls command
        "usage": "hello",  // Usage text
        "data": {  // Arbitrary data, gets passed to the callback
            "text": {
                "pre": "Hello",
                "post": "!"
            }
        }
    }, {
        // data:
        //     message: Underlying Discord.js Message object
        //     arg: Argument passed after the command (just the raw string, no splititng or anything)
        //     commandManager: CommandManager object from which the command was invoked
        //     bot: Bot object
        respondeText: data => {
            // this:
            //     data: Data from the command definition
            //     Context objects persists between command executions, save data inbetween command executions
            //     Contexts are unique to each command
            //      globalContext: global over the whole shard
            //      channelContext: it is bound to the channel the command was called
            //      guildContext: it is bound to the guild the command was called
            //      context: is either guildContext, channelContext or globalContext, in that order depending which are available
            return this.data.text.pre + " " + data.message.author.username + " " + this.data.text.post;
        }
    }))
);


bot.on("error", console.error);
bot.on("login", () => console.log("Logged in"));

bot.login(discord_api_token_goes_here);

An more in depth documentation will follow, but for now this is all I got.
