Notice

JDA now officially supports interactions (slash commands and buttons) in release 4.3.0. That means that this library will no longer receive updates.

jda-slash-commands

Slash commands for JDA

This library is only a temporary solution until JDA officially supports slash commands. I decided against contributing to JDA because I don't want to mess up their code base.

This library is also lacking some documentation. If you have any questions feel free to open an issue.

Features

• Commands
• Interactions
• Interactions responses
• Followup messages
• Command permissions
• Command routers (Automatically route interactions to your command framework)
• Message components

Example

Slash Commands:

public class MyBot {

    private static final String BOT_TOKEN = "********";
    private static final String APPLICATION_ID = "12345654321";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JDA jda = JDABuilder.setRawEventsEnabled(true).createDefault(BOT_TOKEN).build();
        initCommands(jda);
    }

    public void initCommands(JDA jda) {
        JDASlashCommands.initialize(jda, BOT_TOKEN, APPLICATION_ID);
        JDASlashCommands.submitGlobalCommand(new CommandBuilder()
                .name("test-command") // Set command name to '/test-command'
                .desc("My cool test command")
                .option(new CommandBuilder.SubCommandGroupBuilder()
                        .name("some-group") // Specify a group that can hold multiple sub commands
                        .desc("This is a wonderful group")
                        .option(new CommandBuilder.SubCommandBuilder()
                                .name("hello") // Specify sub command 'hello' (/test-command some-group hello)
                                .desc("Greet a user")
                                .option(new ApplicationCommandOption(
                                        ApplicationCommandOptionType.USER,
                                        "user", // Note the lower case name - Names have to be lower case or else things could break
                                        "Specify a user to greet",
                                        true
                                ))
                                .build())
                        .option(new CommandBuilder.SubCommandBuilder()
                                .name("animal") // Specify sub command 'animal' (/test-command some-group animal)
                                .desc("Show a animal picture")
                                .choices( // Only allow certain values: Cat, Dog and Platypus
                                        ApplicationCommandOptionType.STRING, // Specify type of the choice: STRING or INTEGER
                                        "animal", // Note the lower case name - Names have to be lower case or else things could break
                                        "Specify the animal",
                                        new ApplicationCommandOptionChoice("Cat", "cat"),
                                        new ApplicationCommandOptionChoice("Dog", "cat"),
                                        new ApplicationCommandOptionChoice("Platypus", "platypus")
                                )
                                .build())
                        .build())
                .build(), new ApplicationCommandListener() {

            @Override
            public void onInteraction(final Interaction interaction) {
                System.out.println("We got an interaction! Yay!");
            }

        });
    }

Message components:

        initCommands(jda);
    }

    public void initCommands(JDA jda) {
        JDASlashCommands.initialize(jda, BOT_TOKEN, APPLICATION_ID);

        // Add a component listener that will get called
        // every time a component is clicked
        JDASlashCommands.addComponentListener(interaction -> {
            final Component clickedComponent = interaction.getClickedComponent();
            if (clickedComponent instanceof Button) {
                final Button button = clickedComponent.cast();
                interaction.respond("You clicked " + button.getLabel() + "!");
            }
        });

        // Add a one time component listener that will 
        // get called when a button with the provided 
        // button id is clicked
        JDASlashCommands.addOneTimeComponentListener("my_btn", interaction -> {
