How to run:

Clone repo > yarn install

See these instructions to set up config.json & get token: https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/#creating-configuration-files

And find where to get guildId and clientId from: https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/creating-commands.html#command-deployment-script

TIP

In order to get your application's client id, go to Discord Developer Portal and choose your application. Find the id under "Application ID" in General Information subpage. To get guild id, open Discord and go to your settings. On the "Advanced" page, turn on "Developer Mode". This will enable a "Copy ID" button in the context menu when you right-click on a server icon, a user's profile, etc.

Set up config.json file with these three tokens:

{
    "clientId": "",
	"guildId": "",
	"token": ""

	"hostname": "",
    "apiKey": "",
    "apiUsername": ""
}

To register menu command:

run: node deploy-commands.js

To run bot & accept incoming commands:

run: node index.js

Work In Progress

To-Do: Create discourse plugin to accept message and post to topic

To-Do: Convert to ES6?/RW Filter needle username out Parse ``` at end of code blocks into newline

Cleanup: Fetch all messages function can be cleaner

Cleanup: Generally refactor the code into better practices

Bugs: Selecting in thread throws error

Virtually any action that can be performed through the Discourse user interface can also be triggered with the Discourse API. For a general overview of how to find the correct API request for an action, see How to reverse engineer the Discourse API 70.
