Installation

Run npm install on command line or terminal.

npm install da-slash

Initialization

Set up bot and listen for commands.

index.js

const config = {
"commands": {
    "directory": "/path/to/commands", //path to commands folder
    "subcategories": "false" //if commands are divided by folders change to "true"
  },
  "bot": {
    "token": "bot_token_here"
  }    
}

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const Slash = require('da-slash');
const slash = new Slash.Client(client, config);

client.once('ready', () => {
  //updates Commands
  slash.postCommands();
})

//emitted when a slash command is detected
client.ws.on('INTERACTION_CREATE', async request => {
  const interaction = new Slash.Interaction(client, request);
  //finds the matching slash command and executes it
  slash.matchCommand(interaction); 
})

client.login(config.bot.token);

Creating Commands

A file for each command. All files should be contained in one folder or if files are separated by folders, all command folders should be under one command folder.

commandOne.js

const Slash = require('da-slash');
module.exports = new Slash.GlobalCommand({
  name: 'echo',
  description: 'sends a message',
  permissions: ["SEND_MESSAGES"],
  options: [{
    "name": "content",
    "description": "message the bot will send",
    "type": 3 // Type 3 is string
  }],
  execute(interaction) {
    // access discord.Client() through interaction.client
    const client = interaction.client;
    // access the data related to the slash command emitted
    const request = interaction.request;
    // access the arguments passed
    const content = request.data.options.find(arg => arg.name === "content").value;
    // sends message containing the argument
    interaction.sendMessage(content);
  }
})

commandTwo.js

const Slash = require('da-slash');
module.exports = new Slash.GuildCommand({
  name: 'hello',
  description: 'sends a hello message',
  guilds: ["GuildIdHere"],
  permissions: ["SEND_MESSAGES"],
  execute(interaction) {
    interaction.sendMessage("hello");
  }
})
