Discord Bot Setup

To setup a discord you first need to create an application (basically a bot), here are the steps to follow:

Visit Discord Application
Cick on "New Application" Button
Fill in your Application Name
Now here you will see your newly created application, click on it, this should open "General Information"
If you scroll down, you will se PUBLIC KEY, copy it and place it .env as DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY
Now to create BOT_TOKEN, click on BOT > Reset Token
Once you have the token, place it against BOT_TOKEN in .env
Now will be creating an invite URL and for that you need to click on OAuth2 > bot
Now as soon as you click on bot, a section to choose bot permission from, will shown up
Check the following options
1. Send Messages
Once you select all the bot permissions, scroll a bit down and you will see "Generated URL"
Copy and paste that URL in browser, a prompt will come up where it will ask you to select you own "Discord Server"
Once you add the Bot into your server, copy the "Server Id", by right clicking on the server avatar. Now place this id in .env against GUILD_ID

Connecting Discord Service with Discord

Now as you have created the discord bot, now its time to connect it with discord service using the following steps:

You would need to register the commands first. That will be auto handled once you start the server
Now start the server using

   make run #or go run .

   make ngrok #or ngrok http 8999

Since we are considering 8999 as default port for this service. If you wish to change it you can change it in Makefile & in docker-compose.yml

Copy the Ngrok URL and open the General Information on Discord Developer Portal of your bot, paste the copied URL in Interactions Endpoint URL
All Set 🚀🚀🚀. Now you can start with running hello command
