Installation

Get started with meowcord by installing it in your project.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

  • Node.js (version 16.9.0 or higher)
  • npm or yarn package manager

You'll also need a Discord bot token. If you don't have one yet, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal
  2. Click on "New Application" and give it a name
  3. Navigate to the "Bot" tab and click "Add Bot"
  4. Under the Token section, click "Copy" to copy your bot token

Installing meowcord

You can install meowcord using npm:

Terminal
npm install meowcord

Or using yarn:

Terminal
yarn add meowcord

Basic Setup

Create a new file named index.js and add the following code:

index.js
const {Meow, Intents} = require("meowcord")

const bot = new Meow({
     intents: [Intents.Guilds, Intents.GuildMessages, Intents.MessageContent],
     prefix: "!",
     meowSettings: {
          returnBotInfosInConsole: true
     },
})

bot.start("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN");

bot.basicCommand({
  cmdName: "ping",
  cmdCode: async (message) => {
     const ping = Date.now() - message.createdTimestamp;
     message.reply(`🏓 Pong! My ping is currently ${ping}ms`);
  }
});

Replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN with your actual Discord bot token.

Running Your Bot

To start your bot, run the following command in your terminal:

Terminal
node index.js

If everything is set up correctly, you should see a success message in your console, and your bot should come online in Discord.
