toyo-discord-bot

Bot for the TOYO Discord with customized commands.

Development Notes

• Write the code in the /src folder. Helper functions can be included as their own .js files but will then need to be marked with export and then import <name> from './file.js' wherever they are going to be used.
• server.js is the main bundle of code that is used by the server. This is what is hosted in cloudflare.
• DEV Use npm ngrok to host the code locally. If doing this, the Discord Application will need to be updated for where it points. Get the ngrok url and paste it in the Interactions Endpoint URL field.
• PROD Use npm run deploy to push the updated code to Wrangler/cloudflare
• SECRETS Secrets/constants can be pushed into cloudflare
  • push directly from the dev command line like this npx wrangler secret put NAME_OF_VARIABLE, or
  • use the webui at cloudflare to create Secrets
  • To Use: hen import them into the code using const token = process.env.NAME_OF_VARIABLE; within the javascript file.
• TODO: figure out how to do the wrangler deploy from github actions
• This Guide was the most useful.

Notes

1. Rate Limits:
   • Ensure your bot handles API rate limits gracefully to avoid being throttled by either Discord or Google.
2. Security:
   • Do not hardcode sensitive tokens (Discord bot token or Google credentials) in your code. Use environment variables or a secure configuration file.
3. Error Handling:
   • The bot includes basic error handling but can be expanded to cover specific issues like invalid ranges or insufficient permissions.
4. Permissions:
   • Ensure the Service Account used for the Google Sheets API has "Editor" permissions for the spreadsheet.
   • Ensure the Service Account used for the Google Sheets API has "Editor" permissions for the links_from_discord spreadsheet.
   • Ensure the Service Account has "Reader" access to the Card_DB spreadsheet.
   • Ensure the Google Sheets API service account has "Editor" access to the points_fetch_log spreadsheet.
5. Spreadsheet ID:
   • Replace the placeholder YOUR_DISCORD_USERS_SPREADSHEET_ID with the actual ID of your Google Sheet.
6. Customization:
   • You can extend the commands to include additional metadata, such as a description for the URL or a timestamp.
   • You can modify the headers array to match the actual column headers in your spreadsheet.

How It Works

1. Command: archive-application-status
   • The spreadsheet query function uses the message.author.id (Discord user ID) to find matching data in the spreadsheet.
   • Assumes the spreadsheet has Discord user IDs in column A and application statuses in column B. Update the range and index logic if your structure is different.
   • Gracefully handles cases where the user ID does not exist in the spreadsheet or when the spreadsheet is empty.
   • The bot sends a read-only request to the specified range in the Google Spreadsheet.
   • The bot formats the retrieved data and sends it back to the Discord channel as a reply.
2. Command: link-email
   • When a user types link-email user@example.com, the bot stores the provided email and the user’s Discord ID in the Discord_Users spreadsheet.
   • Uses the spreadsheets.values.append method from the Google Sheets API to insert new rows into the sheet.
   • Ensures the provided email contains an "@" symbol to check for validity. You can add more complex validation logic if needed.
   • Stores the Discord user ID in column A and the email address in column B of the Discord_Users spreadsheet.
   • Replies to the Discord channel with success or error messages based on the outcome.
   • Handles errors such as invalid email input or issues connecting to the Google Sheets API.
3. Command: submit-card
   • Users can type submit-card https://example.com to submit a URL for storage in the links_from_discord spreadsheet.
   • Uses spreadsheets.values.append from the Google Sheets API to insert new rows into the sheet.
   • Stores the Discord user ID in column A and the submitted URL in column B of the links_from_discord spreadsheet.
   • Ensures the provided URL starts with "http" to confirm it's valid. You can extend this logic for more robust validation if needed.
   • Provides feedback to the user, confirming whether the URL was successfully submitted or if an error occurred.
   • Handles errors related to URL submission or connectivity issues with the Google Sheets API.
4. Command: check-card
   • Returns information about the card if the identifier is known.
   • Exact ID Match: Users can type check-card hMkni to submit an identifier to search for.
     • If a 5-character identifier is provided, the bot performs an exact, case-sensitive match in column A.
     • Returns an error if multiple entries are found with the same ID. This is a data integrity problem that needs to be solved by an administrator.
   • Non-Case-Sensitive Title Search: Users can type check-card Make Your Own Guide to submit a title to search for.
     • If the search term is a string (not a 5-character ID), the bot performs a non-case-sensitive match in column C.
     • Provides a list of matching IDs if multiple results are found, prompting the user to search by ID for detailed information.
   • Ensures only one match is returned for ID-based searches.
   • Handles cases where no matches are found.
   • Returns data in the format of header: data for columns A, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, and R.
5. Command: fetch-points
   • When the user types fetch-points, the bot retrieves the message author's Discord ID and username.
   • Uses the Google Sheets API to search the spreadsheet for the Discord ID in column A.
   • Retrieves the points from column K (10th index in the array).
   • Formats the Mee6 command /give-item member:discordID item:Yak Point amount:X using the retrieved points.
   • Logs the execution (add logic to send the command to the bot in Discord if necessary).
   • Appends a log entry to the points_fetch_log spreadsheet, recording the username, Discord ID, and points awarded.
   • Handles cases where the Discord ID doesn't exist or points are invalid (not a number).
   • Spreadsheet Structures: Points Spreadsheet, Points Fetch Log
   • The Mee6 command must be executed in a Discord channel where Mee6 is active. You can use the Discord API to send the command to the appropriate channel programmatically.
   • Includes error handling for invalid Discord IDs, invalid points values, and connectivity issues with the Google Sheets API.
