Discord Bot Template

This template provides a basic setup for creating a Discord bot using discord.js.

Features

discord.js: The official Node.js module for interacting with the Discord API.
dotenv: For loading environment variables from a .env file.
nodemon: Automatically restarts the bot when file changes are detected during development.
Basic Command Handler: A simple structure to handle Discord slash commands.

src/index.js: The main entry point for your bot. It initializes the Discord client, loads commands, and handles interactions.
src/config.json: (You'll need to create this) Contains your bot's token and other configuration.
src/commands/: A directory to store your bot's slash command files.
.env.example: An example environment file. Rename this to .env and fill in your Discord bot token.
.gitignore: Configured to ignore node_modules, .env, and other common files.
package.json: Configured with start and dev scripts, and necessary dependencies.

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start: Runs the bot in production mode.
npm run dev: Runs the bot in development mode using nodemon for automatic restarts.

Install Dependencies: After creating your project, install the dependencies:
```
npm install
```
Configure Your Bot: Create a config.json file in the src directory with your bot's token:
```
{
  "token": "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN"
}
```
Alternatively, rename .env.example to .env and add DISCORD_TOKEN=YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN.
Create Commands: Add your slash command files to the src/commands/ directory.
Run the Bot: Start your bot using npm start or npm run dev.
