This is Discord bot that transpiles Civet code into TypeScript or JavaScript.
The bot automatically responds to messages containing ``` code blocks
with languages of
```civet: regular Civet code, converted to TypeScript and Prettified.```coffee: CoffeeScript-compatibility mode: automatically prepend"civet coffeeCompat".```civet-rawor```coffee-raw: Don't run Prettier; give the raw output from the Civet transpiler.```civet-jsor```coffee-js: Ask Civet to convert to JavaScript instead of TypeScript.```civet-raw-jsor```coffee-raw-js: Ask Civet to convert to JavaScript instead of TypeScript, and don't run Prettier.
You can include multiple code blocks, and you can edit your messages after initial sending, and the bot will update accordingly.
In addition, you can use the /civet slash command to transpile Civet code,
with similar options. If you set the private option to True, you will get a
private response, and not clutter the channel you are in.
