Next generation discord bot template

A discord.js bot template powered by TypeScript and a local database.

DJSKit is a template to make your own discord bots. DJSKit uses discord.js v14 with a local json key-value database, to make it easy for you to get started.

DJSKit was a private thing at first, as I didn't want to write a handler everytime I made a new discord bot.

I've been working on DJSKit for the past 3 years, as I started making discord bots. Since then, I've always been working on features. I'm pretty sure DJSKit has same features that you've never seen anywhere else.

• Slash Commands Handler - Automatic registration and execution of Discord slash commands with full TypeScript support
• Message Commands Handler - Traditional prefix-based commands with flexible argument parsing
• Interactive Components & Arguments - Advanced button and modal interactions with sophisticated parameter / arguments system
• Event Handling System - Modular event system supporting both one-time and recurring events
• Local JSON Database - Built-in DotDB integration for persistent data storage without external dependencies
• Custom Prefix Support - Commands can define their own prefixes (e.g., $, !, >) independently

• TypeScript Support - Full TypeScript implementation with strict typing and modern ES2021 features
• Error Handling & Logging - Comprehensive error catching with chalk-colored console output

• Guild/Global Command Deploy - Configurable deployment to specific servers or globally across Discord
• Status Rotations - Automatic bot presence updates with customizable rotation intervals

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• Discord Application with Bot Token
• Basic knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript
