Discord bot: QR code generator

882 developers have joined this project.

What you will practice

You will practice making a Discord Bot that can receive command arguments. The bot will convert the given argument into a QR code using a third-party API, and send the QR code back to the user. The project should take around 4 hours to complete.

Introduction

QR codes have become ubiquitous in many countries in the last few years. With the help of bots, QR codes can be generated easily. Through this project, you'll learn how to use Discord bots to turn command arguments into outputs like QR code, without having to look for a QR code generation website.

Requirements

The user will send a command in Discord chat with an argument. The argument, converted into the QR code, will later be sent back to the user.

For an extra challenge:

Add a slash command that triggers the bot to generate a QR code
Allow the user to change the color and/or size of the QR code

Suggested Implementation

This project can be completed using TypeScript for better handling
You can use Google's free API to generate the QR codes

Build a screenshot pipeline

Set up a CI/CD workflow which will produce a screenshot of your homepage and keep it updated as you keep changing the code. This kind of always-up-to-date screenshot can be useful for your README or as the basis of marketing materials that include screenshots of your website. You can even use these images to perform [visual regression testing](https://medium.com/loftbr/visual-regression-testing-eb74050f3366)!
