Configuration

What is it?

Each WidgetBot server accepts a config.yml (or config.js). Each time when the server starts, it logs into Discord using the token specified in it amongst other things.

You need to copy data/config.example.yml in server to data/config.yml and fill it in. On this page you can see all the available configuration options. You can leave most of it as the default.
