DUCK DISCORD BOT

Usage

This bot has 2 main features:

1. Carpool to simplify organization of carpool inside DISCORD.

The code here will handle:

• The registration of a new command /covoit
• The user interactions with the bot messages:
  • create a carpool session
  • reserve/free a seat
  • cancel a carpool session

2. Channel toggle to allow users to opt-in only the channels they want to follow.

The code here will handle:

• The registration of 2 new commands /activer-suivi-sorties and /desactiver-suivi-sorties
• The user interactions for opt-in and opt-out, i.e. to show/hide a certain channel.

Code structure

The first file to be used is commands/register-commands.js that registers the commands in the Discord server.

Then, all behiavours are managed in bot.js.

Note1: It is possible to enable or not the 2 features independently.

Note2: To run the code locally, create an .env file at the root. Fill it following .env.template
