c0d3r : Discord bot for C0D3

This is the discord bot for c0d3, it performs discord related actions, like messaging in channels and direct messaging users for the c0d3 app.

This bot can be operated by an Api documented here.

Details about the bot's design and architecture are available in this design doc.

Running the bot

The production bot runs on the c0d3 CapRover server and can be communicated with the Api.

Development - Getting Started

* First you need to register a discord application to get the DISCORD_TOKEN that c0d3r will use to forward your commands to your discord server. A guide for that setup can be found on the wiki page here: Registering a Discord Bot

• Using yarn

1. Run yarn to install dependencies
2. Copy and rename example.env to .env and fill the required variables.
3. Run yarn start to start the bot.

• Using Docker

1. Run docker build -t c0d3r . to build the image
2. Run docker run --env DISCORD_TOKEN=token --env BOT_TOKEN=token c0d3r to start a new container with the bot. The env variables are required.

Notes

• The production DISCORD_TOKEN available to the engineering team should not be used for local development as the c0d3 discord server will end up receiving your test messages.
• For testing your BOT_TOKEN can be any value as long as the application sending the api commands has the same Authorization header token set Bearer <BOT_TOKEN>

Confirm setup

You should be able to run this curl command to verify your c0d3r bot is running correctly

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:5623/api/messages/direct/<USER_ID>' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <BOT_TOKEN>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "message": "Good Job! You are ready to c0d3"
  }'

* replace <BOT_TOKEN> & <USER_ID> with their correct corresponding value.

(Enable developer mode in discord to get channelId's / userId's )
