Description

DiscrafterJS is a mini-framework built on top of Discord.js. This framework was created with the goal of making Discord bot development easier and more structured. Adapting an opinionated coding style and convention system, DiscrafterJS enforces consistency in how commands, events, and configurations are written.

Problems

- Debugging and code navigation were difficult due to boot-up logic being mixed with the main codebase.

Solutions

- Developed a dedicated package to manage boot-up logic, configuration, slash command registration, and event loading.

Key Learnings

• Designed a config-driven architecture to create a single source of truth for all server settings, improving maintainability and simplifying environment management.
• Implemented a clean public API by encapsulating internal logic in private methods, creating a clear and intuitive developer experience (DX).
• Utilized the async factory pattern to solve challenges with asynchronous object initialization, resulting in a cleaner and more robust application bootstrap process.
