go-gopher-bot-discord

This repo contains a simple Bot for Discord in Go, with a basic code organization. We use:

• KuteGo API: an API that retrieve Gophers (thanks Gaelle :-)
• DiscordGo: a Client that interact with Go servers

Please read the Learning Go by examples: part 4 - Create a Bot for Discord in Go article in order to know more about this Git repository.

Pre-requisites

Install Go in 1.16 version minimum.

or:

Build the app

$ go build -o bin/go-gopher-cli main.go

or

$ task build

Run the app

First, you can export the token:

$ export BOT_TOKEN=<your bot token>

Let's run locally our Bot right now:

$ ./bin/gopher-bot-discord -t $BOT_TOKEN
Bot is now running.  Press CTRL-C to exit.

or

$ task bot

Test the app

$ task bot
task: [bot] ./bin/gopher-bot-discord -t $BOT_TOKEN
Bot is now running.  Press CTRL-C to exit.

Now you can tape !gopher, !gophers and !random in the Discord server connected to the Bot ;-).
