# Discord Bot with Slash Commands and Modals This project is a fully-featured Discord bot written in Node.js, using the `discord.js` library. It includes functionalities like handling slash commands, context menu commands, and displaying modals for user input. ## Features - **Slash Commands**: Commands that can be triggered using `/` in Discord, like `/ping` to check bot latency. - **Modals**: Interactive modals where users can input data, for example, `/modal-example`. - **Context Menu Commands**: Right-click context menu commands for users or messages. - **Ephemeral Replies**: Ability to send private, ephemeral replies to users. - **Dynamic Command Registration**: Automatically registers commands based on the project directory structure. ## Installation ### Prerequisites Ensure you have the following installed: - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v16.6.0 or higher) - [Discord.js](https://discord.js.org/) (v14.x) - A Discord Bot Token (see [here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/getting-started#configuring-your-bot) for instructions) ### Clone the Repository ```bash git clone https://git.ssh.surf/snxraven/DiscordJS-v14-Template.git cd DiscordJS-v14-Template ``` ### Install Dependencies ```bash npm install ``` ### Environment Variables Create a `.env` file in the root of your project directory with the following content: ``` TOKEN=YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=APPIDHERE ``` Replace `YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` with your actual bot token from the Discord Developer Portal. ## File Structure - `index.js`: The entry point of the bot that initializes the client and loads commands and events. - `handler/index.js`: Dynamically loads commands and events and registers slash commands with Discord. - `events/`: Folder containing event listeners such as `ready.js` (bot ready event) and `interactionCreate.js` (command handling). - `commands/`: Folder containing command files. Commands are organized into subfolders based on category. - `commands/info/`: Contains commands like `/ping` and `/modal-example`. - `commands/context/`: Contains context menu commands like `ping-test`. ### Commands - `ping`: Returns the bot's websocket latency with an ephemeral reply. - `modal-example`: Displays a modal for user input. - `ping-test`: A context menu command that returns latency when right-clicking a message. ## Running the Bot To start the bot, run: ```bash node index.js ``` If everything is set up correctly, you should see the following message: ``` YourBotName is up and ready to go! ``` The bot will automatically register slash commands for every guild it's in. ## Command Examples ### Slash Command: `/ping` Returns the bot's websocket latency in an embed message. ### Slash Command: `/modal-example` Opens a modal where users can input text, which is then displayed back to them. ### Context Menu Command: `ping-test` Available by right-clicking a message and choosing this context command. It shows the bot's latency. ## Adding New Commands To add a new command: 1. Create a new `.js` file in the `commands/` folder under the appropriate subfolder. 2. Define your command with the structure used in the existing commands. 3. Restart the bot to automatically load the new command. Example command structure: ```js module.exports = { name: "new-command", description: "Describe your command here", run: async (client, interaction) => { // Command logic }, }; ``` ## Modals The bot supports modals for user input. To add a new modal, create a new command in the `commands/` folder and use the `ModalBuilder` from `discord.js` to display a modal. Example modal code: ```js const { ModalBuilder, TextInputBuilder, TextInputStyle } = require('discord.js'); const { ActionRowBuilder } = require('discord.js'); module.exports = { name: "modal-example", description: "Show a demo modal!", run: async (client, interaction) => { const modal = new ModalBuilder() .setCustomId('example-modal') .setTitle('Example Modal'); const input = new TextInputBuilder() .setCustomId('input-field') .setLabel("Your Input") .setStyle(TextInputStyle.Paragraph); const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(input); modal.addComponents(row); await interaction.showModal(modal); } }; ``` ## Handling Ephemeral Replies Commands can return ephemeral (private) responses, making replies visible only to the command invoker. To enable ephemeral replies, add a `private` property to the command definition: ```js module.exports = { name: "ping", description: "Returns latency", private: true, // This makes the reply private run: async (client, interaction) => { // Command logic here }, }; ``` ## Events The bot listens for two primary events: - `ready`: Triggered when the bot is logged in and ready. - `interactionCreate`: Triggered when a user interacts with the bot through slash commands, modals, or context menu commands. ## Troubleshooting - Ensure you have the correct bot token in your `.env` file. - Make sure your bot has the necessary permissions to register commands in the guilds it's in. - If commands aren’t registering, try manually clearing the commands in the Discord Developer Portal or use `guild-specific` commands to speed up testing.
