Deploying to Netlify Functions

This guide walks you through deploying a Discord bot built with Dressed to Netlify Functions.

Deploying is the last step in building your bot, it will be where Discord can send interactions and events even when you're not developing it.

Setup

1. Add the following to your netlify.toml file:

   build.command = "dressed build"

2. // @ts-ignore Generated after build
   import { commands, components, events } from "../../.dressed";
   import { handleRequest } from "dressed/server";
    
   export default (req: Request) => handleRequest(req, commands, components, events);

Environment variables

If you are creating a new project, you will need to upload your environment variables to be used by the bot. Netlify documentation.

Upload

You now can upload it to Netlify however you like, either through linking to GitHub, or using the CLI:

bunx netlify build
bunx netlify deploy --prod

Your bot should now be accessible at <project>.netlify.app/.netlify/functions/bot.
