We expect you to already have a working installation of Deno 1.28+ or Node.js 18+

Setting up your project

Dependencies

Deno

Start by creating a deno.json file in your project directory:

{
    "importMap": "import_map.json"
}

Then create an import_map.json file in the same directory:

{
    "imports": {
        "disploy": "npm:disploy@dev",
        "std/": "https://deno.land/std@0.164.0/",
        "fmt/": "https://deno.land/std@0.164.0/fmt/"
    }
}

This will allow you to import Disploy from the disploy module. We are also importing the standard library from Deno's official repository.

Node

You can initialize a Node.js project with the following command:

npm init -y
# or
yarn init -y
# or
pnpm init -y

Then install Disploy, dotenv and express since we will be using them in this guide:

npm install disploy dotenv express
# or
yarn add disploy dotenv express
# or
pnpm add disploy dotenv express

Creating a .env

Create a .env file in your project directory and add the following content:

DISCORD_CLIENT_ID="Your Discord bot's client id"
DISCORD_TOKEN="Your Discord bot's token"
DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY="Your Discord's bot's public key"

You can find all of these values in your Discord Developer Portal.
