Tutorial: Your First Bot

My First Bot

In this article I'm going to shown the basics of using Neos.js to build a bot account.

We will learn how to:

• Authenticate the Bot
• Set up Friend Request Handling
• Set up Command Handling using the CommandExtended Plugin
• Set up Error Handling
• Build a Basic Bot

This tutorial will assume you know the Very Basics of node, If you are brand new to Node I recommend this video.

Setup

Setup for Neos.js is quite simple, The package including many beta builds are available on NPM.

Run npm install @bombitmanbomb/neosjs

Next, We require the Contructor like so

const Neosjs = require("@bombitmanbomb/neosjs");

This constructor will let us create a New Neos Client, along with pass in Startup Variables (See New Neos)

const Neos = new Neosjs({OnlineState:"Online"}) //Optional Param

Now we have a new instance of the Client ready to use. Neos.js is an Asynchronous Library, meaning Most functions will return a Promise of information from the server. Most functions data must be accessed via await or .then()
