CLI
The runtime package ships a makecord command. Projects call it from their start script, and you can run it yourself.
makecord start [project-dir] [--watch]| Argument | Meaning |
|---|---|
project-dir |
The project folder. Defaults to the current folder. |
--watch |
Reload flows when a *.flow.json file changes. The IDE uses this. |
-h, --help |
Print usage. |
Environment
Section titled “Environment”Secrets come from environment variables. If the project folder has a .env file, it’s loaded first.
Logs and exit codes
Section titled “Logs and exit codes”In a terminal the CLI prints timestamped, colored logs. It exits with code 1 if the bot can’t start, for example when DISCORD_TOKEN is missing or Discord rejects the token. Ctrl+C or SIGTERM disconnect the bot cleanly before exiting.
