Setting up Commands

Follow the folder structure and create sub folders inside your command folder. Name these sub-folders as a category name for your command files. In order for commands to run when placed inside their respective sub-folders of the command folder, you need to set the properties for each command.

Usage

Here is a sample command example with the filename of "ping.js" and it's the command properties:

module.exports = {
	name: 'ping',  //name of command when using <prefix>ping
	description: 'Ping Pong Command!', // description of command
	aliases: ['p'],  // aliases of command
	guildOnly: true,  // guild command only?
	/**
	* @property {Number} permissions 
	* Permission Level of the command: 
	* 0 = Any User
        * 5 = Server Owner
        * 10 = Bot Owner
        * The permission level can be set and changed by updating the config.js file
	**/
	permissions: 0,  
	minArgs: 0,   // minimum arguments required to execute command
	usage: '',  // example of how to use / call the command
	execute(message, args, client) { // function named execute; define what the command does
		return message.channel.send({ content: 'Pong.'});
	},
