help

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:32 AM

#

alright so whats your current command handler

#

just so I can get a sense of where you are at

mystic panther Jul 11, 2022, 7:32 AM

#

const commands = [
{
name: 'ping',
description: 'Replies with Pong!',
},
{

name: 'picker',
description: 'picker'
},
{

name: 'delmsg',
description: 'deletes messages'

}

#

(async () => {
try {
console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');

await rest.put(
  Routes.applicationGuildCommands(CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID),
  { body: commands },
);

console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');

} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
})();

#

if (interaction.commandName === 'picker') {
//................ .................. ................... .......................

#

So for reference, here's my current 'getGuilds' command (some code removed):

const command = new SlashCommandBuilder()
  .setName(`GetGuilds`.toLowerCase())
  .setDescription('[Bot] Get Guilds')
  .addIntegerOption(option =>
    option
      .setName('Page'.toLowerCase())
      .setDescription('Page of Guilds to View')
  )
;

export const data = command;
export const execute = async function execute(interaction, client) {
 // do stuff
};

#

@mystic panther Please use code blocks:

```js
<code/>
```

mystic panther Jul 11, 2022, 7:34 AM

#

  const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('delmsg')
    .setDescription('deletes messages')
  .addIntegerOption(option => option.setName('int').setDescription('Enter an integer'))
    .setRequired(true)
    ```
will this work is this without errors?

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:35 AM

#

uh

#

why don't you find out

marble iris Jul 11, 2022, 7:35 AM

#

Your code is effectivly:

await rest.put(
      Routes.applicationGuildCommands(CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID),
      {
        body: [
          {
            name: 'ping',
            description: 'Replies with Pong!',
          },
          {
             name: 'picker',
            description: 'picker'
          },
          {
            name: 'delmsg',
            description: 'deletes messages'
          }
        ]
      },
    );

#

You want to move from hard-coded array, to files.

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:36 AM

#

yes

marble iris Jul 11, 2022, 7:36 AM

#

https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-handling.html#individual-command-files

#

You want that part of the guide 'Individual Command Files'

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:36 AM

#

give me a second to give an example command loader

mystic panther Jul 11, 2022, 7:37 AM

#

ill create bot from scratch for easier

#

code

#

do i add the command builder to the main file or command file?

#

Follow...the...guide

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:42 AM

#

here's an example handler

📎 handler.js

#

now

#

this wont work if you just copy paste it in

#

thats why I added comments

#

so read the comments and try to work them into your code

#

and lemme make an example command file for a second

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:43 AM

#

peak kraken here's an example handler

actually to be more clear

#

this isnt a handler

#

its more just

#

a loader

mystic panther Jul 11, 2022, 7:44 AM

#

is my command file looking ok

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

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('ping')
        .setDescription('Replies with Pong!'),
    async execute(interaction) {
        await interaction.reply('Pong!');
    },
};

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:45 AM

#

actually yes

#

that looks really good

#

but

#

for the execute function

#

add a client variable

#

like this

mystic panther Jul 11, 2022, 7:46 AM

#

async execute(client, interaction)
?

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:46 AM

#

yes

mystic panther Jul 11, 2022, 7:46 AM

#

ohh

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:46 AM

#

since your no longer in the file which client is created

#

you'll need a reference to it

mystic panther Jul 11, 2022, 7:51 AM

#

what do i put into main file?

marble iris Jul 11, 2022, 7:52 AM

#

mystic panther what do i put into main file?

Main files needs:

Command Register (registers to rest)
Command Loader (sets to client.commands)
Command Handler (executes the command interaction)

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:53 AM

#

marble iris Main files needs: - Command Register (registers to rest) - Command Loader (sets ...

you can put it all in one file which I recommend as a beginner programmer (asides from the commands themself) but for like real work yea you need separate files

peak kraken Jul 11, 2022, 7:54 AM

#

mystic panther what do i put into main file?

what does it look like so far

mystic panther Jul 11, 2022, 7:54 AM

#

client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);

try changing commandsPath to just "./commands"

#

as ./ indicates the local directory

after doing it

can you send your code

try to

#

theres prolly an obvious fix which I am blanking and missing

#

but try to

#

change ```js
const filePath = path.join("./commands", file);

to
```js
const filePath = `./commands/${file}`
