Discord Bot Builder
===================

[](#discord-bot-builder)

A framework to help build a [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) bot and route incoming messages. Features include:

- Restrict commands to particular channels
- Restrict commands to particular roles
- Respond to various message properties only including:
    - Private messages
    - Mentions
    - Messages containing particular phrases
    - Messages from certain people

It's a work in progress, in particular it could do with a good DSL in front of the matchers in order make specifying a bot much prettier on the eyes.
