# Basic usage

### Create a bot.py file

This file define your bot.

{% code title="bot.py" %}

```python
import asyncio
import discord
from baseDiscord import BaseBot


class MyBot(BaseBot):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    
    async def on_connect(self):
        self.logger("My bot is connected!")
        await super().on_connect()
    
    async def on_disconnect(self):
        self.logger("My bot is disconnected")
        await super().on_disconnect()
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can overwrite events of [`discord.ext.commands.Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#bots). 
{% endhint %}

### Create cogs

Create a folder "cogs". In this folder you can create all cogs than you want.

{% code title="./cogs/hello.py" %}

```python
import asyncio
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_slash import cog_ext


class Hello(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__()
        self.bot = bot
    
    @cog_ext.slash(name="hello", description="Say hello")
    async def hello(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send(f"Hello {ctx.author.mention}!")
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Look the documentation of [discord\_slash](https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for more information on slash commands
{% endhint %}

## Create a main.py file

This file is the main script to execute. The bot is created in this file.

{% code title="main.py" %}

```python
import discord
from discord_slash import SlashCommand
from baseDiscord import Help, Owner

from cogs import hello
from bot import MyBot


# Parameters
TOKEN = "my token"
PREFIX = "!"
COLOR = discord.Color.blue()

# Init
client = MyBot(token=TOKEN, prefix=PREFIX, color=COLOR, intents=discord.Intents.all())
slash = SlashCommand(client, sync_commands=True)

# Add cogs
Help.setup(client)
Owner.setup(client)
hello.Hello.setup(client)

# run the bot
bot.run()
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="success" %}
You are created a minimalist bot ! :smiley: 
{% endhint %}
