Getting Started

Dependencies

git clone https://github.com/ichbinjade/loki-discord-bot

Populating the env file

Copy the .env.example file to .env and populate the relevant variables:

• DISCORD_TOKEN= : This will be your bot's token from the developer portal
• COMMAND_PREFIX="" : While slash commands are popular, I still prefer using "!" prefixes

Commands

Ping

!ping - returns 'Pong! 42ms'; where '42ms' is the relevant latency
