Getting Started

As a template, you need to customize a few things in order to get it work

Before that

• Install Node.js, and a Package Manager (ex: npm or pnpm)

Required Skills

• Basic knowledge about React.js
• Able to read javascript/typescript

Set up

1. Clone the repo
   git clone https://github.com/SonMooSans/discord-bot-dashboard-next.git

2. Install dependencies
   We always prefer PNpm

   NPM	PNPM
   npm install	pnpm install

3. Customize files
   The file structure of this project

   Path	Description
   src/pages/*	All the pages
   src/components/*	Components
   src/api/*	API utils
   src/config/*	Common configurations

4. Define Features
   The dashboard has built-in support for configuring features
   Users are able to enable/disable features and config the feature after enabling it

   Customize all typings in src/config/types/custom-types.ts
   CustomFeatures is used for defining features and options, see the example for more details

   Open src/config/features
   You can see how a feature is configured

   'feature-id': {
        name: 'Feature name',
        description: 'Description about this feature',
        icon: <Icon as={BsMusicNoteBeamed} />, //give it a cool icon
        useRender: (data) => {
            //render the form
        },
    }

   The useRender property is used to render Feature Configuration Panel
   Take a look at here for examples

5. Configure General Information
   Modify src/config/common.tsx

   • Bot name & icon
   • Invite url (example: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1234&scope=bot)
   • Guild settings

6. Configure Environment variables
   Those variables in .env.example are required
   You can define environment variables by creating a .env file

7. Setup Backend Server
   In order to let the dashboard connected with your discord bot, you will need a backend server
   You can implement it in any programming languages

   Read here for a guide to develop your own server

8. Done!
   Start the app by pnpm run dev (depends on your package manager)
   Then you should see the app started in port 3000

Authorization

We are using the API Routes of Next.js to handle Authorization

Configure the Application

1. Open Discord Developer Portal

2. Create your OAuth2 application in https://discord.com/developers/applications

3. In <Your Application> -> OAuth2 -> Redirects

   Add <APP_URL>/api/auth/callback url to the redirects

   For Example: http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback
   This is required for Authorization

Authorization Flow

Login -> Discord OAuth -> API Routes -> Client

• Login (/api/auth/login)
  
  • Redirects user to discord oauth url
• Open Discord OAuth url
  • User authorizes the application
  • Redirect back to /api/auth/callback
• API Routes
  • Store the access token in http-only cookies
  • Redirect back to home page

Token Expiration

The Discord access token can be expired or unauthorized by the user
We will require the user to login again after getting 401 error from the Discord API

The refresh token won't be used, but you are able to customize the Authorization Flow

Backend Development

Check src/api/bot.ts, it defined a built-in API for fetching data

You can use express.js (Node.js), Rocket (Rust) or any libraries/languages to develop your own server
Usually the server runs along with your discord bot (in the same program)
Moreover, you can use redis instead of connecting to the bot server directly

Official Example

Node.js (Typescript)

Authorization

The client will pass their access token via the Authorization header

Bearer MY_TOKEN_1212112

Required Routes

You may extend it for more functions

GET /guilds/{guild}

• Get guild info (custom-types.ts > CustomGuildInfo)
• Respond 404 or null if bot hasn't joined the guild

GET /guilds/{guild}/features/{feature}

• Get Feature options (custom-types.ts > CustomFeatures[K])
• Respond 404 if not enabled

PATCH /guilds/{guild}/features/{feature}

• Update feature options
• With custom body (defined in config/features)
• Respond updated feature options

POST /guilds/{guild}/features/{feature}

• Enable a feature

DELETE /guilds/{guild}/features/{feature}

• Disable a feature

GET /guilds/{guild}/roles

• Get Roles of the guild
• Responds a list of Role Object (Same as discord documentation)

GET /guilds/{guild}/channels

• Get Channels of the guild
• Responds a list of Guild Channel (Same as discord documentation)
