Interaction type is too narrow

[cold heath]

Currently the Interaction type is:

export type Interaction<Cached extends CacheType = CacheType> =
  | ChatInputCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | UserContextMenuCommandInteraction<Cached>
  | SelectMenuInteraction<Cached>
  | ButtonInteraction<Cached>
  | AutocompleteInteraction<Cached>
  | ModalSubmitInteraction<Cached>;

I'm creating a function that takes an Interaction as a parameter, but typescript is reporting errors because the type is too narrow. In my case, I'm trying to input a ContextMenuCommandInteraction, but the type requires either a MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction or UserContextMenuCommandInteraction. Is there any way to use a general ContextMenuCommandInteraction with passing it in like:

someFunction(interaction as MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction | UserContextMenuCommandInteraction);

Every time?

Where do you get the ContextMenuInteraction from?

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/ContextMenuCommandInteraction ?

anyways you can make a custom type for that

type customcontextmenucommandinteraction = MessageContextMenuCommandInteraction | UserContextMenuCommandInteraction

No, I was more interested in where their code gets that object having that type from…

@cold heath are you getting this interaction from the djs interaction create event?
