batch-file-bot

Discord bot that can run batch files on the deployed server! Can also take in input and push output from/to Discord!!

Instructions to run: Download the files and extract the ZIP to a folder. Navigate to the folder on your terminal. Run the following commands:

npm i

npm i -g nodemon

Now create a file called cred.json in the same folder as the other files (index.js, package.json, etc) and edit it using the following syntax:

{
    "token": "xxxx-your-discord-bot-token-xxx"
}

All done? Great! Now edit the options.json to configure your batch files! Here is the syntax:

{
    "commands": [ // array of all commands
        {
            "type": "message", // leave the type as message for now - I will add more types such as slash commands in the future
            "trigger": "!run", // the trigger for the command
            "replies": { // replies to send with various stages in the batch file execution - leave blank string to not send any reply
                "replyOnSpawn": "Running simple batch script! Reply to this message to get an echo!", // reply when batch file is spawned
                "replyOnFinish": "", // reply when batch file closes - add {{$code}} to insert exit code
                "replyOnError": "Error: {{$error}}", // reply on server error - path wrong, etc. - add {{$error}} to insert error message
                "replyOnStderr": "{{$stderr}}", // reply on stderr - error generated within the batch file - add {$stderr}} to insert the error message
                "replyOnStdout": "{{$stdout}}", // reply on stdout - output generated by the batch file - add {{$stdout}} to insert the output message
                "replyToStdin": [
                    "SPAWN", // which messages should the user reply to in order to input text into the batch file - for example: SPAWN means that if the user replies to the replyOnSpawn message, it will go as input to the batch file
                    "STDOUT"
                ]
            },
            "preventFromSimultaneousExecution": true, // whether user should be able to run the same batch file multiple times simultaneously
            "filter": {
                "type": "none", // none, exclusive or exception - exclusive means only specified users should be able to run command, exception means all users except specified users should be able to run command - none means anybody can run command
                "users": [
                    "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" // userId of users for the above specified filter - enable developer mode in Discord to copy user id
                ]
            },
            "batchFile": "D:\\Documents\\My Stuff\\batch-file-bot\\{{$userId}}-run.bat" // full path of batch file to run - can use {{$username}}, {{$discriminator}}, {{$userId}} to insert variables into the path
        }
    ]
}

And last but not least, run the following command to start the server:

nodemon index.js

The server should automatically restart if either index.js or options.json changes, but type in rs to restart otherwise.
