Hosting on Repl.it - Glowstudent777/BasicDiscordBot GitHub Wiki

Go to the project dashboard and drag the bot files into the left side of the screen under where it says files

Under create select Node.js and select Import from GitHub. Put https://github.com/Glowstudent777/BasicDiscordBot as the repository url and it should automatically import the files.

In repl.it select the lock icon

To add the bots token in the key section put CLIENT_TOKEN

Under value paste the bots token and select Add new secret

Create file called server.js

Open server.js and type

const express = require('express');
const server = express();

server.all('/', (req, res)=>{
    res.send('Your bot is alive!')
})
function keepAlive(){
    server.listen(3000, ()=>{console.log("Server is Ready!")});
}
module.exports = keepAlive;

Put this at the top of the main.js

const keepAlive = require('./server');

Put keepAlive(); on the line above

client.login(process.env.CLIENT_TOKEN);

It should look like this at this bottom

keepAlive();
client.login(process.env.CLIENT_TOKEN);

To install the dependencies go to the console tab in the project and type

npm i

Install node.js v16 to the repl by executing this command in the Shell

npm init -y && npm i --save-dev node@16 && npm config set prefix=$(pwd)/node_modules/node && export PATH=$(pwd)/node_modules/node/bin:$PATH

Afterwards if you don't already create a file called .replit and put

run = "npm start"

Then go to Package.json and find scripts

  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },

Add a comma to the end of the test and put

    "start": "node ."

The scripts should now look like

  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "node ."
  },

Now just hit the run button and the bot should come online
