🎭 Run Modes

Development
Creating a Slash Command is as easy as creating files.
Let's say you want a new /hello command. Just create a file in the /src/commands directory named hello.js and export a default function that returns something.
export default (interaction) => {
interaction.reply('Hello World!')
}
Your /hello command is now ready to use! Robo.js takes care of registration for you.
Ever clicked on an avatar or message and seen an Apps section? Those are Context Commands!
Create a file file in /src/context/message named after the command. For example, Quote.js.
export default (interaction, message) => {
interaction.reply(`${message.author} said:\n\n> ${message.content}`)
}
You can do the same for users under /src/context/user.
📜 Slash Commands
Your bot follows best practices by default.
📡 Events
Know and respond to everything that happens.
🖱️ Context Commands
Extend right click and long press behavior.
⚡ Flashcore Database
Persist data in your Robo with ease.
Debugging
Discord Bots made with Robo.js come with a built-in Debugger.
Whenever your bot crashes in development mode, the debugger shows an interactive error message - all within Discord!
You even get /dev Subcommands for quick access to logs, system info, and more. Just set your test server's ID as an environment variable called DISCORD_GUILD_ID.
Client Configuration
Robo.js manages your Discord.js Client instance. You may import client anywhere in your project.
// File: /src/commands/name.js
import { client } from 'robo.js'
export default () => {
return `My name is ${client.user.username}`
}
Intents or other configurations can be set in the config/robo.mjs file.
// File: /config/robo.mjs
export default {
clientOptions: {
intents: ['Guilds', 'GuildMessages']
}
// ... other options
}
