Creating Bot Commands

In this guide, we will be creating an simple message based and slash based command.

Creating Slash Commands

It is quite easy to create an slash command with discody.js, here's an example slash command.

commands/hello.js

async function execute({ interaction }) {
  await interaction.deferReply();
  await interaction.reply("Hi, I am an bot created with discody.js");
}
 
export let hello = new SlashCommandBuilder()
  .setName("hello")
  .setDescription("Tells hello back to you!")
  .setExecute(execute);

and here's the main.js file that will add the slash command in the bot.

main.js

import { Bot, Intents } from "discody";
import { hello } from "./commands/hello.js";
 
let bot = new Bot("Your Token Here", [Intents.ALL]);
 
bot.addSlashCommand(hello);
bot.run();

In the above example, we had to first make an function that will be run whenever the command is run by the discord user.

after that, the we have to build an slash command by SlashCommandBuilder, and set the function with .setExecute() function of builder.

Creating Message Commands

Unlike creating slash commands, creating the message commands in a lot more easier, here's an example message command.

Info

Default Message Based Commands Prefix is "!".

commands/hello-message.js

export function hello_message({ interaction }){
    interaction.reply("hello");
}

main.js

import { Bot, Intents } from "discody";
import { hello_message } from "./commands/hello-message.js";
 
let bot = new Bot("Your Token Here", [Intents.ALL]);
 
bot.setPrefix("?");
bot.addMessageCommand("hello", sayHello);
bot.run();

Warning

⚠️

You have to provide message command name with function while adding message based commands to the bot.
