Discord.JS | Zach's Starter

About

This repository contains the starting code for my discord bots based on a tutorial I followed here. There are random comments sprinkled throught to help me recall the functionalities of sections
Please note that this is not the best starter code for making a discord bot with Discord.JS, but it's good enough for me at the moment.

Example code for src/commands/misc/helloworld.js

    callback: (client, interaction) => {
        interaction.reply({
          content: `Hello World! User: ${interaction.user.globalName}`,
          ephemeral: true,
        })
