📝 Steps

Please follow steps below:

1. Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications. Create an application. Under Bot tab, add a bot.

2. Create a folder named discord-bot

3. Create the following files and copy correct tokens and ids from your discord application:

.env

BOT_TOKEN=
CLIENT_ID=

.gitignore

.env
\node_modules

bot.js

require('dotenv').config()
const { REST, Routes } = require('discord.js');

const commands = [
  {
    name: 'sith',
    description: 'Saying hi!',
  },
];

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);

(async () => {
  try {
    console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');

    await rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(process.env.CLIENT_ID), { body: commands });

    console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildEmojisAndStickers,
] });

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
  if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;
  const { commandName } = interaction;

  if (commandName === 'sith') {
    try {
        const message = await interaction.reply({ content: 'Hi my name is Sith.', fetchReply: true });
        await message.react('🇯');
    } catch (error) {
        // handle failure of any Promise rejection inside here
    }
  }
});

client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);

3. Install the following using a terminal

npm init -y
npm install discord.js
npm install nodemon
npm install dotenv

4. On your package.json file edit the scripts:

"scripts": {
    "start": "node bot.js",
    "devStart": "nodemon bot.js"
  },

5. In Discord Application, authorize your discord bot app in OAuth.

You need to check the following:

• bot
• applications.command
