Discord Bot Factory

Generate your Discord bot's base with all your desired functions at the ready

Features

• Easily make a base for your Discord bot with CLI or config file
• Base commands are included by default
  • If you want a bot from scratch, pass scratch on base_user_functions
    and none on base_bg_functions and external_packages
• Multiple choices for pre-written user-side interactions:
  • Bot maintenance comfort functions
    (redeploy if C++, restart if TS/JS or Python, debug, etc.)
  • Server management (roles, channels, etc.)
  • Member management (ban, kick, timeout, etc.)
  • Fun & games (economy and related)
  • Alternate reality game (Enigma-like puzzle capabilities)
• Multiple choices for pre-written background interactions:
  • File management
  • Update via Git pull (connected to bot maintenance)
  • SQL database management via SQLite
  • Engagement logging (message, voice chat, etc.)
  • Watchdog (in case of any suspicious users)
• Add external packages for DBF to include in your bot base
• Bot bases available in multiple programming languages that have a Discord wrapper/library
  • C++ with D++
  • Node.js/TypeScript with Discord.js
  • Python with Nextcord
  • Others coming soon!

How to use

There are two ways you can use DBF.

Command line

You can make your base directly from the command-line application by executing it without options like so:

dbf

This brings up a setup prompt asking you for certain things related to your bot. Fill those in, and it should generate a new folder for your bot with files in your desired configuration and in your desired programming language.

Config file

Alternatively, you can tell dbf what you want done on a dbf.cfg file formatted like so:

language: cpp
name: mybot
licence: mit
init_readme: true
intents: default/(intents)/all
base_user_functions:
    maintenance
    server_management
    member_management
    fun_and_games
    message_handling
base_bg_functions:
    sql_database_management
    engagement_logging
    watchdog
external_packages:
    sqlite3
    csv_parser

Then, in your terminal, cd to the directory where dbf.cfg is located, and execute the following command:

dbf --build-from-config

It will now generate a base according to your configuration file.

If you are, however, working on a Node.js/TypeScript project, there are some more variables involved.

Your JS/TS config file would look like this:

language: (js/ts)
name: mybot
licence: mit
init_readme: true
intents: default/(intents)/all
version: 1.0.0
description: A Discord bot
base_user_functions:
    maintenance
    server_management
    member_management
    fun_and_games
    message_handling
base_bg_functions:
    sql_database_management
    engagement_logging
    watchdog
external_packages:
    sqlite3
