adb-plugin-reminders

Personal reminders for Advanced Discord Bot.

/remind set time:10m message:"check the oven" — bot DMs you when it's due (falls back to the channel you set it in if DMs are closed).

Commands

• /remind set time:<10m|2h|1d|30s> message:<text> — create a reminder
• /remind list — list your pending reminders in this server
• /remind cancel id:<id> — cancel one (id comes from /remind list)

How it works

• Reminders are stored in Mongo via ctx.defineModel("reminder", schema) → collection plugin_adb-plugin-reminders_reminder.
• A node-cron job (* * * * *, i.e. every minute) checks for due, undelivered reminders and sends them.
• Note: this plugin bundles its own node-cron dependency rather than using ctx.scheduler. The real ADB ctx.scheduler is the bot's internal TaskScheduler and does not expose a generic .schedule(name, cron, fn) method — despite what CREATE-PLUGIN.md in the core repo implies. Bring your own cron for plugin-owned periodic jobs.

Local testing (no bot, no Mongo required)

npm install
npm test

Runs test/local-harness.js against test/mock-ctx.js, a fake in-memory ctx — exercises /remind set|list and the duration parser directly.

Testing inside a real bot

1. Clone/have a working copy of Advanced Discord Bot.
2. Either:
   • Copy/symlink this folder into that bot's plugins/ directory:

     ln -s $(pwd) /path/to/Advanced-Discord-Bot/plugins/adb-plugin-reminders

   • Or npm link it so it's discovered the same way a real npm-installed plugin would be (via node_modules/adb-plugin-* scanning):

     npm link                                          # from this folder
     cd /path/to/Advanced-Discord-Bot
     npm link adb-plugin-reminders

3. Start the bot. Check logs for Reminders plugin loaded.
4. Run npm run deploy (in the bot repo) to register the new /remind slash command with Discord, since new commands need a deploy step even though plugin logic hot-reloads.
5. Try /remind set time:30s message:"test" in Discord and confirm delivery.

Installing from npm

npm install adb-plugin-reminders

...into their bot's root node_modules/, and ADB's PluginManager will auto-discover it (any node_modules/adb-plugin-* folder with a plugin.json + entry file).

Submitting to the ADB plugin registry (optional, for marketplace listing)

See REGISTRY-SETUP.md in the main ADB repo. Short version: fork the registry repo, add an entry to plugins.json with npmPackage: "adb-plugin-reminders", open a PR.
