Echelon

A modular Node.js Discord bot powered by Discord.js and MongoDB.

With a focus on expandability, Echelon was engineered to streamline the process of adding new commands and information.

Features

Echelon comes equipped with some helpful features out-of-the-box.

Custom Profanity Filter

Within the banned-words.json file, there are two arrays—one named banned and the other special. The banned array will contain a list of plaintext words that are to be blocked. Any premade regex expressions will go into the special array.

Here is an example:

{
    "banned": ["apple", "banana", "orange"],
    "special": ["\\by+\\s*o+\\b", "\\bh+\\s*i+\\b"]
}

The following words will trigger this configuration:

bapple app pple bannnana b a n a n a oorangege yoo hhi

The following words will not trigger the configuration:

b a n n n a n a byoo hiya yoop

Command Prefix

The default command prefix for Echelon is !, but can be easily changed in the config.json file.

MongoDB Support

By linking Echelon to a MongoDB database, Echelon will collect simple information about the users in each server, including the number of commands used and the amount of bad words typed. A different database is used for each server, making user data independent.

If no MongoDB database is linked, the bot will still work, but some commands will be disabled, as they rely on the database.
