Pretty basic (I know), but how would I add a user input to a slash command using this type of syntax

[crimson hollow]

Looks like you want to add something aside from user paramater, right?

[long pollen]

yeah

like e.g text to echo

and then it sends that text back in a message

I want to basically access it in the async execute function

[crimson hollow]

You have to duplicate your .addStringOption and modify the name. Then, you don't need to pass it, you will get the parameter like you wrote at line 15

oh shit really?

hmm

alright one second lemme try it out :)

Can I access it like this then @crimson hollow ?

[crimson hollow]

.getString("input")

[long pollen]

alright one seocnd

like that?

or somewhere else

[crimson hollow]

Everything inside .addStringOption was good in the previous screenshot

The modification happens at line 15

sorry this is literally my first time EVER using discord.js - I am coming from a solely discord.py background 😂

[long pollen]

alright

[crimson hollow]

If you copy-paste the code next time, rather than screenshoot, I could modify it for you

[long pollen]

lmao alr sorry

ok am still confused

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('ping')
        .setDescription('Replies with Pong!')
        // Add an option to accept user input
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option.setName('input')
                .setDescription("The input to echo back")
                .setRequired(true)
        )
        .getString("input"),
    async execute(interaction) {
        
        /* const ping = interaction.options.getString('ping');
        return interaction.reply(ping); */
    },
};

where the hell would I put the thing to get the thing?!

[crimson hollow]

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('ping')
        .setDescription('Replies with Pong!')
        // Add an option to accept user input
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option.setName('input')
                .setDescription("The input to echo back")
                .setRequired(true)
        )
    async execute(interaction) {
        console.log(interaction.options.getString('input'));
        /* const ping = interaction.options.getString('ping');
        return interaction.reply(ping); */
    },
};

[long pollen]

👀

hm

ok

OHHH

that makes sense

alr one sec

[crimson hollow]

If you were writing it like:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

let parameter_name = "input";
module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('ping')
        .setDescription('Replies with Pong!')
        // Add an option to accept user input
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option.setName(parameter_name)
                .setDescription("The input to echo back")
                .setRequired(true)
        )
    async execute(interaction) {
        console.log(interaction.options.getString(parameter_name));
        /* const ping = interaction.options.getString('ping');
        return interaction.reply(ping); */
    },
};

It would make even more sense

[long pollen]

ohhh alr

@crimson hollow

and it is scuffed now

[crimson hollow]

This file looks good. Also it looks like the error originates in some other place

[long pollen]
