Feature: Add a command to get server stats

When a user types !stats, a message should appear with the following data:

• total users
• total messages
• total reactions

Proposed solution for total users

// inside case 'stats' on commands.ts
const memberCount = getServerMemberCount(message.client);

export function getServerMemberCount(client: Client) {
    const guildKey = process.env.DISCORD_SERVER_ID
    if (!guildKey) {
        console.error(`Missing env. variable DISCORD_SERVER_ID. Please configure that value.`)
        return 0
    }

    const guild = client.guilds.cache.get(guildKey)
    if (!guild) {
        console.error(`The guild with the configured DISCORD_SERVER_ID env. variable doesn't exist`)
        return 0
    }

    return guild.memberCount
}

Error handling

In case of an error getting the member count for the guild, we can return 0 or null and then don’t show that field on the final message. This is something I’d like your opinions on.

I’d also like to hear your feedback @eddiejaoude, on a better way to get the server’s guild and add a default maybe. I proposed a new env. variable in order for the bot to work for various discord servers. It just has to be configured first.

Here is the card for this feature.

Yeah I do not think it is possible to get the total amount of reactions without a database. Other than looping through every message on the server which really should not be done.

I think it is waiting on me to store data in the DB - I will finish the logger tomorrow that also outputs to the bot channel, then I will get back to the saving of data in the DB, which will open lots of doors
