Welcome to the Basic Discord Bot template! This template provides you with the foundational code to create your very own Discord bot. Whether you're looking to build a bot for fun, for your community, or for productivity, this template is the perfect starting point. It comes with the essential setup that allows your bot to log in and be ready for further development.
To begin using this template, simply click on "Start with this Template" on the Lazy platform. This will set up the template in your Lazy Builder interface, pre-populating the code so you can start customizing your bot right away.
Before you can test and deploy your bot, you'll need to set up an environment secret for your Discord bot token. Here's how to do it:
Remember, this token is like a password for your bot, so keep it secure and never share it publicly.
Once you have set up your environment secret, you can deploy your bot by pressing the "Test" button. This will launch the Lazy CLI, and if there are any additional prompts for user input, you will be able to provide it there.
After deploying your bot, it will be live on Discord, but it won't do much yet. This is where your creativity comes in! You can start adding commands and functionalities to your bot by editing the code in the Lazy Builder interface. Use the provided template as a starting point to build the features you want.
Once your bot is ready and has the functionalities you desire, you can invite it to your Discord server to start interacting with users. To do this, you'll need to generate an invite link from the Discord Developer Portal and use it to add your bot to the server.
Now your bot is integrated into your server and ready to interact with your community!
Remember, this is just the beginning. As you grow more comfortable with the code and the Lazy platform, you can continue to expand your bot's capabilities and make it truly unique. Happy building!
