Suggestion: Prefix editing

[freyacodes]

This is currently planned to be a feature to go alongside https://github.com/Frederikam/FredBoat/issues/23

And yes, I know the clear command is broken.

Edit: Except that you are talking about selfhosting, in which case a config option would be the way to go.

Trying to break this down into steps:

• Make FredBoat universally react to mentions, like so: @FredBoat play <link>.
  This requires adjusting the regex for parsing the CommandContext. This is important so that there is always a fallback if a weird prefix is set / to find out the current prefix. #369
• create a prefix command, that saves the prefix in the GuildConfig entity.

One edge case to keep in mind when testing this would be empty prefixes.

if empty fallback to ;;

I am thinking of empty prefixes as a feature here. It needs the following questions answered when implementing: How to set it? How to persist it and differentiate from the default prefix? How to regex it?

[Nanabell]

as general question SHOULD we continue to use regex? or should we limit ourself to a simple string? if we stay with the regex do we allow or even force users to use regex as well or limit them to simple strings?

[schnapster]

Good question probably just going to use String#startsWith.

This issue is solved: Selfhosters can edit the default prefix of their whole bot in the config file (this was possible for some time), guild admins can edit the prefix in their guilds since #375 .
