[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2318: Embeds in ephemeral messages

This is mostly an architectural problem for us right now. Ephemeral messages currently skip a lot of our infrastructure paths that normal message sending goes through--it allowed us to make them super easily and have that "disappearing" behavior we want.

This is a totally understandable reason, but the support article for these Ephemeral messages literally demonstrates the feature using an embed...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2372: Decrease the time taken for new or edited commands to propagate

As the documentation states, you should be using guild-specific slash commands for testing, as these are instant.

Say in an update you have edited the arguments a command takes in your bot code, but not in discord. How would you update the bot along with the discord commands? You would either have to be compatible with the old arguments and the new arguments (and then later release an update that removes support for the old arguments), or you would have to wait until the ch...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2369: More control over arguments

@WickedTree You can only send strings instead of actual regular expressions. Discord might allow it but it's unlikely. And pattern validation is just one example, there might be more rules that you want your arguments to follow. The list I have given is not exhaustive. You might even want to check the argument with a record in the database, etc. Think client-side vs server-side validation. The client can only validation so much. It's only for the user experience. The server is where most of ...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #2410 Enable way to see Message ID of interaction source and response

Description

After acknowledging a slash command interaction, there appears to be no way to get the channel message id for the interaction source message (if you decide to show it), or the message you reply with in the initial response.

Why This is Needed

I think it's important to be able to link an interaction to the messages it sends in a channel. An example could be deleting messages related to the command run after X amount of time to clean up the channel, or to link react...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #2413 Casing is not retained in command parameter names

Description
When creating a command parameter with a mixed-case name (such as camelCase), the casing of the name is not retained in the UI or created interactions.

Generally, it would simplify integration with bots and improve UX if casing was retained - for example, the readability of a name consisting of two or more words degrades significantly if casing is normalized (shouldDoThing vs shoulddothing). It also enforces a less strict matching behaviour on the part of the implement...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2364: Add "Guild" command option type

While what wicked mentioned is a possibility it's not very user friendly as users shouldn't be having to add the bot to be able to use it in dms imo. I agree we just need a small field on the command for where it's usable, aka a list of channel types or just a simple "guild", "private" or "all" setting.

Just like xSke I have a lot of commands that just can't do their job in dms. like roleplay command such as /hug, theres nobody to hug in dms so no point to show them in dms.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2417: Slash command security caveats and improvement suggestion

In order for a web service to accept intent webhooks from Discord, we require that you implement appropriate signature checks for authentication. Among these, we send a few well signed, and improperly signed requests to see if the server is well behaved, and on a regular cadence, as your slash commands operate, we send improperly signed requests. The intent of this is to ensure that people are implementing proper authentication measures. If your server fails these checks, we disable the inter...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2406: Inbuild slash\-command makes usage of bot\-commands with / impossible, if command starts with inbuild name

Little update:
It seems I could use the bot's command when I backspace after Discord recommends/selects the command.

For example: When I type /nick does Discord automatically select the nick command, but I can then backspace to append name to the command.

While this is a solution, for now, is it still not really intuitive and a better alternative to select commands and IF you actually want to select those in the first place should be considered.

My guess would be that you mean MinnDevelopment. He did gave his thoughts about the slash-command and the overall disappointment that it was rushed so much.

Description
Discord is unable to reach my server using IPv6 and says that the interactions endpoint is not available. I do not see an incoming request from Discord on my server.

Why This is Needed

Some ISPs enforce CG-NAT, which disallows users to port forward on IPv4. Because of this, I cannot use interactions using incoming webhooks (since I am making a bot, I use the INTERACTION_CREATE event, but I want to outsource the command handling to another server).

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2431: IPv6 for incoming webhooks

I would recommend dropping in Cloudflare to terminate your TLS connections if you cannot move to an ipv4-supporting provider. Our cloud provider, GCP, does not have much support for ipv6 (only in their global load balancers at this time).

I am currently using ngrok as a fallback solution to tunnel HTTPS to my server without IPv4 port forwarding. I already use Discord for other scenarios, but my bot does not own "a real domain", which is mandatory to use Cloudflare.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2355: Restrict slash command visibility by role, user, or permissions

Slash commands could have their own per guild settings.
Just like like roles have guild wide and channel specific options, slash commands could be the same.
If a bot has a mute command the owner could enable a mod role access to that command but deny it to other roles. And if the bot has an 8ball command the owner can enable it in a bot commands channel but disable it in a general channel.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2438: Slash command sub groups and sub commands should be easier to access

Currently to get the name of a subcommand inside a group you have to do this

Command: ${interaction.data.name}
SubCommandGroup: ${interaction.data.options[0].name}
SubCommand: ${interaction.data.options[0].options[0].name}

However not all commands have subcommands or groups, if you have a command and subcommand with an argument the structure is still the same, however the same code will return the name of the argument as what "SubCommand" is.

As far as I can tell, all of this can be addressed client side, where the data can be shaped to your liking. If you are accessing the raw response data as is, yes, you'll have a bad time. If you transform it to something that is more ergonomic for your language and environment, you'll have a better time.

There exist a few implementations right now that abstract the nesting away and provide a better interface for building slash commands.

Anyways, going back to the premise of this issue...

I like this idea; however, with the 3 second timeout that currently exists for interaction responses, there's a far greater chance an error code like this might get lost because the backend takes too long to determine whether something is or isn't valid.

Since this also only mentions the http callback interactions, alternative solutions that also include the gateway method should be considered - perhaps not a HTTP error code, but rather a property in the returned response payload?

Just like intents verification, show proof of your need for more than 50 commands. This could be maybe a few tiers, like going from 50 to 100 to 250 commands.

Why not support the Cache-Control header to allow the web server to specify how long to cache the images for? Accepting that header shouldn't cause any hit to performance and everyone wins. That plus a minimum cache age (say, a day) would be amazing.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Type a slash command with an option and an invalid choice (my example was /testhelp category: ff when my options are entertainment or minecraft)
  2. Switch to another channel anywhere in Discord

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2452: Allow server to reject command and reflect on client side

I like this idea; however, with the 3 second timeout that currently exists for interaction responses, there's a far greater chance an error code like this might get lost because the backend takes too long to determine whether something is or isn't valid.

Yeah, that could be a problem. Although it is possible it could be raised in the future. But 3 seconds is still a pretty long time to just validate arguments.

Since this also only mentions the http callback interactions, alternative...

Ok guys, thanks, gathering all yours advice , we got this:

  • the only way to read channels and messages is by bot's account an this bot has to belong to the server chat. is it right?
  • another way is installing discord RPC in linux/windows/mac and use the scopes "messages.read" and "rpc.notifications.read" pointing to Discord RPC endpoint API.

is it ok, what I just said

@Ratismal you have it mostly correct, yes. This toggle "works" to turn off slash commands because it's actually entirely changing our text editor. The new editor uses the Slate library, which we rely on heavily for slash command implementation.

"Turning off" slash commands is definitely not intended. In fact, the old editor is used by an infinitesimally small percentage of people at this point; I think we had considered just retiring it but decided not to just for scope reasons. Anyway, we...

As others have brought up enough, development iteration should be done with guild commands, presumably in your own test guild. Mutating global commands for testing and dev iteration is not a great user experience to begin with.

However, you raise a valid point in the state of your commands vs. your code as global commands propagate. If you changed an argument that was a user to a channel, you may be getting payloads from guilds that are valid for those users, but do not match your code...

3 seconds is less of a technical number and more of a user experience number. There's been some research done that suggests that 3 seconds is about how long a user will wait and still perceive something as "fast". If you need longer than 3 seconds to do whatever option you need to do, you should considering doing an ACK with an async response.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2393: default field doesn't work in any configuration

Yup ๐Ÿ‘ This was an oversight on our part with how we're currently handling subcommands and groups. Those are all at the top level in the UI right now, so default is...doing nothing. When we move them to an autocomplete style instead, default will allow you to use the base command again (which is also currently not working)

So for example, you could have

I think this is probably better solved as not a slash command interface, though. I imagine having a form modal with a text box would be much preferred? :p

For my use cases, absolutely, yeah, a full "text area" control would be much better. Although not having either of those options is an adoption blocker for me right now, so I'm not sure what would work in the short term? Are generalized full form modals a planned upcoming feature?

Maybe instead of this, it is 200 total grouped commands where each command group can have up to 50 commands (which if all your groups do, leaves you 4 groups) and you have up to 20 command groups.

Regardless of how its implemented, this will probably be more relevant after subcommand grouping displays are fleshed out.

My bot has a lot of "interconnected" prompts with occasionally opaque IDs that need to be copied/retyped in order to navigate. It's one of the absolute primary pain points for users of it, but so far there's been no clean way for me to improve it. Support for links or link groups,...

Also +1-ing here, as this would help with accessibility/usability immensely for my bots. The main one I'd like to implement this for is a form bot that uses both reactions and text to complete actions- while this works fairly well, the footer is enormous and hard to read due to having to explain the emojis/keywords for each action. Being able to link to something to do that action or having a button explicitly for it would be amazing. Definitely hoping something like this will be implemented!

The UI has been updated to hide this permission on voice channels, but it is still available in our API. All channels are the same data model on our end. You can set this permission on store channels as well.

Because it's true in the API I would prefer the documentation to be accurate. It's low priority for us to validate these kinds of permissions on the API side since you can't do anything with them.

First starting with an rhetorical question to prove what night said is actually false:

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2448: Data corruption beyond 16 character integers

most people using an integer option will want it to actually be an integer

  • You can get invalid user, role and channel id-s. Who wants a valid id anyways.
  • Integer choice values over 52 bits are broken too. Nice to get a 3rd value back if you have 2 choices.
  • You get Internal Server Error (500) when creating an application command with choice value over 64 bit integer.

I assume all of these is also intended.

Thank IEEE 754 for that limitation, and RFC 8259 for adopting said limitation to be fully compatible with JavaScript, which the JS Object Notation derived from.

That being said, it's not something Discord can fix, they can't just ignore many web standards that have been set in stone for almost 8 years.

Slash Commands need a longer timeout then 3 seconds.

Why This is Needed

When running on Serverless setups many of the cloud providers give, if the Server Less hasn't been used, there can 1-2 second warm up time. If your command takes longer by retrieving data, you could exceed the timeout. While there are methods to keep functions warm, they increase the cost.

If you need more than 3 seconds to do whatever, then what you can do is have a separate service that proxies the requests to a backend (or a serverless provider) after automatically responding to the request with an ACK, from there you can use followup messages in order to continue as normal.

this could be implemented as:

We are planning to support a permission system for Slash Commands.

Yes, the latency to Discord would be lower, but it would make the time to send the message all the same, if not longer due to round trip times and extra time to send the events everywher...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2312: Raising The Slash Command Limits

It will now create a new type of confusion trying to remember which of the 300 features is in fact using the / prefix and which is using the other prefix.

Your bot does not have three HUNDRED "features" -- it is bloated. Full stop.

Slash commands are available for all bots on all guilds... do you realize how much this will pollute the global scope? Even with the 50 limit (which I think is more than enough), typing "/" will vomit out a list of hundreds of commands for the typical user....

Slash commands should be used for the handful, if not only one to three, key selling points your bot has.

I have no idea where you got this from but I haven't seen anything indicating this is the intention; this would just lead to a bad user experience. Slash commands are intended to eventually fully replace the concept of message commands, not just be a way where users can access a few of them.

Yes! This is more so a request from a library POV.

That's actually quite terrible UX. The bot invite screen is the same simplified oauth2 flow regardless if the bot is already on the server or not. It'd be majorly confusing for a user to discern if the permissions are being added or set. Setting (replacing) them is definitely the better choice for consistency's sake. You can still auto-fill permission requests with the ?permissions=n query parameter.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2552: \`guilds\.join\` restrictions

Perhaps this could be avoided by introducing something client side.

Eg. A nagbar when you are viewing a guild you were added to, saying something like:
You were added to this guild by X. Click here to unauthorize this application.

Maybe even being able to report the application via said nagbar if the join wasn't authorized by the user. Ideally this would stay till the user dismisses it manually.

Another alternative could be some sort of authorization system built into the client...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2557: Allow only few types of channels in 7 \(channel\)

I strongly disagree with this suggestion. Limiting to text channels can significantly limit the functionality of some commands, or completely break them.
E.g. a command that lets you choose a voice channel to join the bot into.

I do agree there is a UX improvement that can be made here that would benefit developers too however.
And this is my proposed alternatives

  • Provide 3 different types of channel selections (more types)

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #2560 Bulk Add Reactions in a specified order

I have looked but hopefully this isn't a duplicate

Description
I think there should be a way to "bulk add" reactions to a message, with a set order.

Why This is Needed

Many bots use reactions as a method of choosing options, polling, setup, page traversal.
They run into rate limits on the API by adding each reaction one at a time. This means bot user interaction is made much slower and more frustrating for the user.

These changes are not yet deployed, so this PR is intended as a heads up!

Soon we'll be adding the ability for users to invoke your bot's global slash commands within a DM. Due to that change, some of the fields on the interaction object have been made optional. For example, guild_id is optional because you would not receive one in a DM interaction.

However, the behavior of slash commands within guilds today remains unchanged.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New review comment on pull request #2568: DM Slash Commands

In all existing use cases, you will get a channel ID. This is more of a future-proofing thing. For example, if we allowed bots to add options to context menus, you may be able to add an interaction by right clicking on a guild or a user, in which case that might not include a channel ID.

I say might not because none of that stuff exists yet, so again this is more future-proofing. In both guild commands and DM commands, you will get a channel id.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2248: Provide channel object in MESSAGE\_CREATE for direct messages

@night this is not about the bot sending itself a message.
It is about the bot getting notified that he sent a message.
I for example use this in a bot to add a wastebasket reaction to any message that was sent by the bot.
It is a perfectly valid use-case to listen to own messages.
Also think about a bot that is implemented in microservices style where there are multiple instances of the bot running and each instance cares about a specific task only.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2383: Include option arg type in the interaction data

I believe libraries are already able to resolve type information using generics, no? I think Pylon, for example, does this already. I'm curious why a union type would be preferred when its type is based upon the configuration of the command. If you define the command expects a string, its input type will be a string.

Because you cannot guarantee the same type strictness in the reply, or the payload you get via WS or webhook, without having some common property. We cannot just say `oh y...

You could also have different instances running on different hosts for sharding and whatnot.
And it is an unnecessary effort to require to make them speak to each other if it is not present anyway just to distribute information Discord is already distributing by sending the event.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2464: List all guilds with registered slash commands

This would be incredibly useful. Currently there's no way to know what guilds have slash commands regestered to them and this could end up in old, unusable, commands existing.
And I don't think that keeping a internal log of what guilds is going to work either.
I also help out with an extension for slash commands and it's something we're trying to figure it how to do (keep all guilds up to date) and we can't do that without an endpoint to get all guilds with slash commands.
