Development

These instructions are intended for bot development only.

? No support is offered for self-hosting the bot! ?

Running the bot

1. cd backend
2. npm ci
3. Make a copy of bot.env.example called bot.env, fill in the values
4. Run the desired start script:
   • npm run build followed by npm run start-bot-dev to run the bot in a development environment
   • npm run build followed by npm run start-bot-prod to run the bot in a production environment
   • npm run watch to watch files and run the bot and api both in a development environment
     with automatic restart on file changes
5. When testing, make sure you have your test server in the allowed_guilds table or the guild’s config won’t be loaded at all

Running the API server

1. cd backend
2. npm ci
3. Make a copy of api.env.example called api.env, fill in the values
4. Run the desired start script:
   • npm run build followed by npm run start-api-dev to run the api in a development environment
   • npm run build followed by npm run start-api-prod to run the api in a production environment
   • npm run watch to watch files and run the bot and api both in a development environment
     with automatic restart on file changes

Running the dashboard

1. cd dashboard
2. npm ci
3. Make a copy of .env.example called .env, fill in the values
4. Run the desired start script:
   • npm run build compiles the dashboard’s static files to dist/ which can then be served with any web server
   • npm run watch runs webpack’s dev server that automatically reloads on changes

Notes

• Since we now use shared paths in tsconfig.json, the compiled files in backend/dist/ have longer paths, e.g.
  backend/dist/backend/src/index.js instead of backend/dist/index.js. This is because the compiled shared files
  are placed in backend/dist/shared.
• The backend/register-tsconfig-paths.js module takes care of registering shared paths from tsconfig.json for
  ava and compiled .js files
• To run the tests for the files in the shared/ directory, you also need to run npm ci there
