Bot Generator

What is Bot genrator?

Bot genrator is a CLI (Command Line Interface) tool that lets you generate a Discord.JS project in a matter of seconds.

Why Bot genrator?

Do you use a Command/Event Handler? Are you tired of having to copy & paste the same files over and over again, or cloning a repository? Bot genrator serves as a purpose to eliminate the annoyance of doing that. Instead, with a simple command, Bot genrator will generate a base structure for your next Discord Bot Project.

It does so by using the most basic command & event handler. Simplicity is key. And since it works well, why change it? Regardless, if you need to try some things out without needing to re-write the same functions all the time, Bot genrator is great for that.

It also eliminates the abstraction away from users so they need not worry about how commands and events are registered. It will just work out of the box.
