Setting up Configurations

In this section we will configure our necessary configurations. so lets begin.

Project Structure

First, create a folder named configs inside the src directory. Inside this configs folder, create a file named botConfig.ts and metadata.ts. This files will hold the configuration settings for your project.

    • Adding .env Configurations

    Now, remember that we have created an .env file. We cannot implement this .env file directly into our project. Instead, we will use a configuration system to integrate these environment variables via our config file.

    You can directly import your .env variables into your project, but it is a better approach to use a configuration file. This provides a more reliable way to manage configurations and allows you to define types, which is a main advantage of TypeScript.

    In the botConfig.ts file, we will add our configurations:

    src/configs/botConfig.ts
    import dotenv from 'dotenv'
 
dotenv.config()
 
interface BotConfig {
  BOT_TOKEN: string
  BOT_ID: string
  SERVER_ID: string
  DEVELOPER_IDS: string[]
  ERROR_CHANNEL: string
  GATE_CHANNEL: string
}
 
const config: BotConfig = {
  BOT_TOKEN: process.env.AUTH_TOKEN as string,
  BOT_ID: process.env.CLIENT_ID as string,
  SERVER_ID: process.env.SERVER_ID as string,
  DEVELOPER_IDS: (process.env.DEVELOPER_IDS || '').split(','),
  ERROR_CHANNEL: process.env.ERROR_CHANNEL_ID as string,
  GATE_CHANNEL: process.env.JOIN_GATE_CHANNEL_ID as string,
}
 
export default config

    This setup will load the environment variables from the .env file and make them available throughout your project.

    Adding Metadata

    In the metadata.ts file, we will add our prefix and name:

    💡
    Add your app name and app prefix.
    src/configs/metadata.ts
    export const BOT = {
  PREFIX: 'ns.',
  NAME: 'nsCore',
}

    This file will help us to store our metadatas, which will be required in future also, you can more metadatas as of your need.

    Done, successfully we have setted our configurations, lets move ahead.
