Just a random Discord bot made by NorthWestWind#1885 (or call him North for short) because he was really bored.
There are many better bots out there and I recommend everyone to also check those out.

You can invite me right here.
I'm actually an open source Discord bot, unlike all the other bots. Do whatever you want. You can fork me, copy part of me, or just have a better understanding on me. If you are interested in making a Discord bot, be sure to take a look at me. I'm not a perfect bot, but having a look inside me may inspire you to make something! There is always a great feeling about helping people. You should help others too.
There's a homepage for me somewhere in the Internet. If you want to visit it, just click here. You can find invite link, updates and supports there.
Want to make requests on new commands? You can do that in my server! For bug reports, you can also do that in my server! North is planning to make another way for users to submit suggestions and issues without joining any Discord servers, so stay tuned!
Some might be concerned whether you are getting tracked while using me in your server. The answer is, I do store some of your data, but they are only messages/attachments provided in several commands, such as play, add, config, prefix, etc. Said data is only stored locally where I am running on (a.k.a. North's Raspberry Pi).
If you don't trust me, take a look at my code. I'm an honest man.
If you still don't trust me, you can ask North to delete the data stored.
Some might want to make a copy of me and run it themselves. If you are the chosen one, please take a look at this guide before proceeding!
Recall that I'm written in Node.js. Therefore, to run my clone, you will also need Node.js, more specifically, Node.js v16 and NPM v8. Please have them installed before running a clone!
First, no matter if you are going to run it on ReplIt or anywhere else, please still use the replit branch. It makes things much easier.
To clone the repository, simply use
git clone -b replit https://github.com/North-West-Wind/NWWbot.git
If you are using ReplIt already, you can import from GitHub.
One of the biggest part of me is the MySQL database. It stores a lot of data inside. Because of that, you will really need a database.
If you already own a MySQL database or plan to set up a one, please import the template.sql file to it. It will create the necessary database structure for you!
If you don't have a database and don't have any plans to get one, I would recommend using remotemysql. Then, you will need to do the same thing as the above line.
The next thing is to fill in the environment variables.
From where you have cloned the files, look for example.env. If you are not using ReplIt, copy it to .env. For ReplIt users, you should input them in the Secrets tab. Inside example.env lists a bunch of stuff.
The most important one is the bot's token. Repalce yourtoken with the actual token of your bot.
#Token for the bot
TOKEN0=yourtoken
And then there are the database credentials. Quite straight-forward. If your database is not running on port 3306, add your port number to the end of DBHOST with :<port>.
#MySQL Database
#I recommend remotemysql.com if you don't have one
DBHOST=remotemysql.com
DBNAME=databasename
DBPW=databasepassword
DBUSER=databaseusername
You will also find a variable named DC. If you want to enable the dev commands, replace it with your user ID.
#Just my Discord ID. Replace this with yours.
DC=416227242264363008
There are some non-essential variables to set, namely Reddit, Spotify and GFYCat. The bot will work fine without these. However, if you don't plan to use them, please remove them from the .env file or whereever the secrets are stored.
All required dependencies are inside package.json. You can install all of them with ease by running:
npm i
You may receive errors about something "canvas", "panga", "cairo". If so, please refer to node-canvas Wiki and troubleshoot from there.
Now you are finally ready to start the clone! Use the following command and enjoy!
npm start
