@robojs/dev
Development tools that safely disappear in production.
Development utilities for forwarding errors to Discord, viewing logs, and checking Robo status. Install during development, and the plugin automatically strips itself from production builds.
Features

Send errors to a Discord channel with dismiss and restart buttons
Slash Commands
/dev commands for logs, status, and restart

Installation
To install, run:
npx robo add @robojs/dev@nextOr create a new project with the plugin pre-installed:
npx create-robo@next my-project -p @robojs/dev@nextThis plugin is designed for development only. It strips itself from production builds automatically, but you can also remove it manually:
npx robo remove @robojs/dev@nextHow it works
The plugin hooks into Robo's build system with a transform that filters out all dev plugin entries when building for production. Run robo build and every command, event handler, and hook from this plugin disappears from the output. Zero runtime overhead in production.
In development mode (robo dev), you get the full set of tools: slash commands for viewing logs, checking status, and restarting, plus error forwarding to a Discord channel.
Quick start
The simplest setup is adding a debug channel for error forwarding. Set the DISCORD_DEBUG_CHANNEL_ID environment variable:
DISCORD_DEBUG_CHANNEL_ID=1234567890123456789When an unhandled error occurs, the plugin sends a rich embed to that channel with the full stack trace and interactive buttons to dismiss the error or restart the process.
For more control, use the plugin config:
export default {
debugChannelId: '1234567890123456789',
errorPingRoleId: '987654321098765432'
}export default {
debugChannelId: '1234567890123456789',
errorPingRoleId: '987654321098765432'
}
