How to make one bot work on different servers and have different prefixes?

Question

How to make one bot on different servers have a different prefix?

We can't use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '!')

One person said to use JSON, but I don't understand how to configure the work of prefix from different servers in one .py file

Answer 1

You can do it with creating a method takes parameters bot , message .

First, create a json file (or database) to store prefixes with guild ids.

Json file can be like this.

{ "123456789123456789": "!" }

And now the code.

import json

def get_prefix(bot, message):
  with open(file_path, "r") as f:
    prefixes = json.load(f)
  return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)] #returning prefix that registered with guild's id

Last, registering the Bot object's command_prefix parameter.

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=get_prefix)
