discord-py-skeleton

A discord.py skeleton repository for making python discord bots.

Features

Basic features such as

• "rich" coloured logging
• cogs

are currently implemented. I plan to expand this but not by too much as it is a skleton bot for users to add upon based on their needs (I will not be adding )

How to install

I am under the assumption you have your bot's token at hand and have already created a bot (without all the code).

1. To get started,install all of the requirementss fot this bot to run.
   • pip install -r requirements.txt.
   • this can be in a virtual environment or your default python interpreter, up to you!
2. enter any code you want (familiarise yourself with the README in /application/cogs to make commands and cogs)
3. enter your discord bot token into the config.json file, along with your desired prefix
4. enter the root directory in your command prompt and type python3 bot.py

note: if your config isnt set correctly then the bot will not run. make sure that you have followed the steps correctly.

Common methods file

this file is for storing all of the methods that are called frequently within your code, some examples being:

• input validation/sanitisation
• data manipulation
• etc

Logging

This code uses colorama and logging to make your bot's code output clean. here is a below snippet of how to log stuff:

• input:

  logging.warning(color.RED + "text goes here" + color.RESET)```

• output:

  [DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS AM/PM] text goes here

to look at what colors are available for logging check the colorama docs
