mermaidjs-discord is a discord bot that allows you to render Mermaid.js diagrams in your discord chats.

Click here to invite the bot to your server.

Type in !mermaid-help for help on how to use this bot.

This installation asumes you have python3 installed on your machine and know how to use pip.

Run the following in the project root directory to get all the dependencies

pip install poetry
poetry install

After we have that installed, we need to grab a bot token from Discord.

Go to this url and create a new application.
Add a name for your local bot, something like: your-username-test-bot.

After you've made an application, you should be redirected to a page with all of the app's details on it. Scroll to the bottom of this page and press "create a bot user". You will then have a "click to reveal" link that shows you your bot's token.

Run the following in your terminal:

export TOKEN=[the token you copied above]

Make sure you make that bot private in that page.

1. On the side tab go to OAuth2>URL Generator.

2. Under scopes, select bot.

3. Under permissions, select admin.

4. Use the generated URL to add it to your personal discord server to test out that your code is working correctly.
