Implementation of Discord bot for answering switcheo related questions.
The bot has a categorized predefined list of most frequent questions.
It offers search functionality to users in DM.
When asked a question in DM, the bot will try to find the best possible match from the known questions.
This is the list of commands available in DM with the bot.
In public channels the bot is only meant to answer predefined questions, with the command !FAQ question questionNumber, e.g. !FAQ question 7.
It can also use aliases for a question to post an answer in public channel, e.g. !FAQ gas price.
The answers are built using Discord Embeds for pretty print, embedding links and adding images.
The bot is triggered by the prefix !faq in channels.
The bot can answer predefined questions either by their question number of by alias.
Examples:
!faq question 1
!faq gas price
The list of all questions.
The list of all aliases.
You can also get the latest aliases from the bot by sending him a DM aliases
The bot is intended to be used mainly in direct messaging. It has a list of predefined commands which can be browsed if help message is sent to the bot.
Additonally to known commands, the bot can be asked a custom question (detected by a question mark at the end of the message). It will search for best possible match in the list of known questions.

If you find a question missing, please submit it via pull request keeping in mind the following:
- Add the question itself to the questions folder with its dedicated file with next available number e.g. 20.txt
- Add the question answer in JSON format to the answers folder with the same number, e.g. 20.json. The JSON format corresponds to Discord Embeds to support rich text, images and embedded links.
- Optionally categorize the question to make it findable by category in categories/categories.json file. If you strongly believe the question needs a dedicated category, feel free to add a new one.
- If you want the new question to be available via one or more aliases, add it to the file categories/aliases.json
- If the question should have an image, add the image to images folder and reference it from the answer json. Only one image per reply is supported with Discord Embeds.
