Configuration

To configure the bot you can use a dot env file for setup of your Bot token. Do not commit your secrets to GitHub! Use the .env file!

How to use

Everything in this project uses the concept of "plugins" for the commands.

You can create and add your own commands by creating a new JS file in the "plugins" (found in src/plugins) folder.

The file gets automatically loaded when the server starts up. Be sure to take a look at the other plugins that already in this project to see how to create a new one.
