        aliases: string[],
        permissions?: PermissionFlagsBits | string,
        cooldown?: number,
        developers?: boolean,
        nsfw?: boolean
    },
    run: async (client, message, args) => Promise<void>
};

    },
    run: async (client, interaction) => Promise<void>
};

Event:

module.exports = {
    event: string,
    once?: boolean,
    // '...args' are the arguments of the event chosen (from discord.js).
    run: async (client, ...args) => Promise<void>
};

Component:

module.exports = {
    customId: string,
    // 'interaction' is the interaction of the component. If the custom ID is from a button, the interaction is type of ButtonInteraction.
    run: async (client, interaction) => Promise<void>
};

Requirements

Packages:

• chalk v2.4.2
• discord.js v^14.13.0
• dotenv v^latest
• mongoose v^latest

Warning Installing any version from the package chalk that is over v2.4.2, it will throw an error that you must enable ES6 modules, while this handler uses CommonJS modules.

Platforms:

• Node.js v16.9.0 or newer

Setup

1. Install Visual Studio Code.
2. Download this project as a .zip file: Click here
3. Extract the .zip file into a normal folder.
4. Open VSCode, click on Open Folder, and select the new created folder.
5. Go to src/ and rename example.config.js to config.js and fill all the required values.

module.exports = {
    client: {
        token: string, // ← Your bot token (USE .env IS RECOMMENDED)
        id: string // ← Your bot ID (USE .env IS RECOMMENDED)
    },
    handler: {
        prefix: string, // ← The bot prefix
        deploy: boolean, // ← Always load application commands to Discord? (true: Yes, false: No)
        commands: {
            prefix: boolean, // ← Toggle prefix commands
            slash: boolean, // ← Toggle slash commands
            user: boolean, // ← Toggle user commands
            message: boolean // ← Toggle message commands
        },
        mongodb: {
            uri: string, // ← Your MongoDB URI string (USE .env IS RECOMMENDED)
            toggle: boolean // ← Connect to the database or not? (true: Yes, false: No)
        }
    }
}

You can use ENV instead of config.js to keep your bot token and ID and your MongoDB URI in a safe place. Rename the file .env.example to .env and fill all the required values.

CLIENT_TOKEN = Your bot token
CLIENT_ID = Your bot ID
MONGODB_URI = Your mongodb URI string

6. Initialize a new package and install all required packages:

npm init -y
npm install [email protected] discord.js dotenv mongoose

7. To start your bot, run node . or npm run start.
8. Enjoy. =)

Hosting ()

Use Discloud! A trust-worthy Discord bot hosting service.

1. Login using your Discord/GitHub account, and then don't close the Dashboard tab (because we need it later).
2. Go to your project on VSCode, create a new file discloud.config. This file is a configuration file for Discloud apps servers. The discloud.config file content must be like the codeblock below, and remember to change YOUR_BOT_ID to your actual bot ID.

ID = YOUR_BOT_ID
TYPE = bot
MAIN = src/index.js
RAM = 100
AUTORESTART = true
VERSION = latest
API = tools

3. Open explorer and navigate using the path of your project. Hold the CTRL key, and click on src/, package.json, and discloud.config. Now release the key, and right click on the selected files/folders and click on Convert into .zip file.
4. Go back to the Discloud dashboard, click on Add App, and then upload the .zip file in the upload box. Make sure to accept the ToS of the service and then click on Upload.
5. Wait for at least 20 seconds (depends on your Internet speed), and then your bot should be on.

Warning Discloud has recently made every Free plan servers into 15 days hosting only. Use the command .rw from their bot in the commands channel (on their Discord server) to reset the timer. Join the server: Click here!

FAQs

I'm getting this error: "Unable to load application commands to Discord API"

This error only hapens if your bot token and bot ID are not from the same bot. For an example, if you get a bot token from a bot, and a bot ID from another bot, this will throw the error. If you get the token and the ID from the same bot, it will return no errors.

Is MongoDB required?

No, MongoDB is not required. There is an option to disable it in config.js so you will avoid errors from the commands that requires the database, such as ?prefix. If you want to use the database, visit MongoDB website.
