module.exports = {
structure: {
name: string,
description: string,
aliases: string[],
permissions?: PermissionResolvable,
cooldown?: number,
globalCooldown?: boolean,
developers?: boolean,
nsfw?: boolean
},
run: (client, message, args) => void
};module.exports = {
structure: SlashCommandBuilder | ContextMenuCommandBuilder,
options?: {
cooldown?: number,
globalCooldown?: boolean,
developers?: boolean,
nsfw?: boolean
},
run: (client, interaction) => void
};The ...args is a spread operator of arguments from the event chosen. For an example, if the event is 'messageCreate', the first argument is going to be type of Message.
module.exports = {
event: string,
once?: boolean,
run: (client, ...args) => void
};The interaction is the interaction of the component. For an example, if the custom ID is from a button, the interaction is type of ButtonInteraction.
module.exports = {
customId: string,
options?: {

},
run: (client, interaction) => void
};- chalk v2.4.2
- discord.js v^14.13.0
- dotenv v^latest
- mongoose v^latest
Warning
Installing any version from the package chalk that is over v2.4.2 will throw an error that you must enable ES6 modules, while this handler uses CommonJS modules.
- Node.js v16.9.0 or newer
- Install Visual Studio Code.
- Download this project as a .zip file: Click here
- Extract the .zip file into a normal folder.
- Open VSCode, click on Open Folder, and select the new created folder.
- Go to
src/and renameexample.config.jstoconfig.jsand fill all the required values. You can use ENV instead ofconfig.jsto keep your bot token and ID, and your MongoDB URI in a secured place by renaming the file.env.exampleto.envand filling all required values.
Caution
Sharing your Discord bot's token with anyone is a very risky move since you'll allow them to use your bot. This is also a dangerous move for the MongoDB database; we don't recommend using any public URIs or sharing your database connection URL.
- Initialize a new npm package:
npm init -y
- Install all required packages:
npm install chalk@2.4.2 discord.js@latest dotenv mongoose
- To start your bot, run
node .ornpm run start. - Enjoy. =)

No, MongoDB is not required. There is an option to disable it in config.js so you will avoid errors from the commands that requires the database, such as ?prefix. If you want to use the database, visit MongoDB website.
