ENVs

To use an env, you need to create a new file called ".env". In your env file, put the following:

Env

TOKEN=PutTokenHere

Now, make sure to change your bot code!

Python

import discord
import os
from os.path import join, dirname
from dotenv import load_dotenv

dotenv_path = join(dirname(__file__), '.env')
load_dotenv(dotenv_path)

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content == '!ping':
        await message.channel.send('Pong!')

client.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

JavaScript

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

require('dotenv').config()

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('message', msg => {
    if (msg.content === '!ping') {
        msg.reply('Pong!');
    }
});

client.login(process.env.TOKEN);

Lua

local discordia = require('discordia')
local os = require('os')
local client = discordia.Client()

client:on('ready', function()
    print('Logged in as '.. client.user.username)
end)

client:on('messageCreate', function(message)
    if message.content == '!ping' then
        message.channel:send('Pong!')
    end
end)

client:run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))
