Bot Template

A simple Discord bot template built entirely with discord.js v14 and designed to work fully with slash commands.

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or newer
• A Discord application and bot created in the Discord Developer Portal

Setup

1. Download the bot template, either as a ZIP file or by using Git.
2. Open config.json.
3. Fill in the values in config.json using the credentials of the bot you created in the Discord Developer Portal.
4. Run npm install && node app.js to install dependencies and start the bot.
5. Invite the bot to your server. Before doing that, make sure all required intents are enabled.

Configuration

The bot uses the following values from config.json:

{
  "token": "your_bot_token",
  "clientId": "your_application_client_id",
  "developerId": "your_discord_user_id"
}

• token: Your bot token
• clientId: Your application's client ID
• developerId: The Discord user ID allowed to use the eval command

Features

• Built with a fully scalable, editable, and updatable structure
• Developed with the latest version of discord.js
• Fully supports slash commands
• Includes the core structure a Discord bot project needs
• Comes with a developer-only eval command

Included Commands

• /ping: Shows the bot latency
• /stats: Shows bot statistics
• /eval: Runs JavaScript code for the developer only

How to Add a Command

1. Create a new .js file inside a command category in src/commands/.
2. Export a data object built with SlashCommandBuilder.
3. Export an execute(client, interaction) function.
4. Restart the bot to load and deploy the command automatically.

Notes

• Commands are loaded automatically from the src/commands folders.
• Events are loaded automatically from the src/events folder.
• Global slash commands can take a short while to refresh on Discord after restarting the bot.
• The eval command is restricted to the user ID set in developerId.
• Never share your real bot token publicly. If it is ever exposed, regenerate it immediately from the Discord Developer Portal.
