Creating the Core

The index.ts file is the heart of your bot. It serves as the entry point for your application, initializing and configuring the bot to connect to Discord and start responding to events and commands.

Project Structure

Now, inside the src directory, add a file named index.ts.

index.ts

Creating `index.ts`

This is the main file, or we can say the core file, of the bot.

src/index.ts

import { Client, Collection, GatewayIntentBits } from 'discord.js'
import { ExtendedClient } from './interfaces/ExtendedClient'
import { logBrightPink } from 'nstypocolors'
import config from './configs/botConfig'
 
import { commandHandler } from './handlers/commandHandler'
import { eventHandlers } from './events/eventIndex'
 
const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
  ],
}) as ExtendedClient
 
client.slashCommands = new Collection()
client.messageCommands = new Collection()
client.events = new Collection()
 
commandHandler(client)
eventHandlers(client)
 
client
  .login(config.BOT_TOKEN)
  .then(() => logBrightPink('Successfully connected all the commands and the bot is online'))
  .catch((err: string) => console.error('Failed to login: ' + err))

💡

Feel free to customize this setup to suit your needs. You can add additional intents, configurations, or other settings to enhance the functionality of your bot.

Verification

Ensure that you have imported everything correctly and that you have defined your client properly.

Run

Now open your terminal and enter:

npm run execute

Congratualations, finally your app (bot) is online.
