A sane, opinionated template for discord bots written in typescript using the discord.js library.
Uses:
- biome for linting and formatting
- tsx for running typescript code without transpiling
- vitest for tests
- commitlint for linting commit messages
- husky for git hooks
- tsup for building
- filled variables in
.env
file (see.env.example
) - a notion of what a discord bot is and how
discord.js
works - a server to test the bot on (that's where you get the server id for the env variable)
Runs the project in watch mode.
Builds/transpiles the code to ./build
.
Runs the built project.
Runs tests with vitest.
Runs biome in fix mode (only safe fixes) to lint and format the project.
Runs type checking using tsc.
Yup.
You might want to install the recommended extensions in vscode. Search for @recommended in the extensions tab, they'll show up as "workspace recommendations".
If you have been using eslint and prettier and their extensions, you might want to disable eslint entirely and keep prettier as the formatter only for certain types of files.
I suggesting using the settings in .vscode/settings-example.json
, that should be pasted into your own .vscode/settings.json
. I'm not commiting the .vscode/settings.json
proper because it shouldn't be in VCS as it contains your personal settings.
