Building slash commands differently

Hi, i had a discord bot on v13 and JS and i did this to implement slash commands

module.exports = {
    name: 'updatepic',
    description: '[ADMIN]',
    permissions: [PermissionsBitField.Flags.Administrator], //i handle this in interactionCreate
    category: 'database', //irrelevant, just for help command
    usage: 'updatepic [link]', //irrelevant, just for help command
    examples: ['updatepic default'], //irrelevant, just for help command
    options: [
        {
            name: 'default',
            description: 'Photo hors steram',
            type: ApplicationCommandOptionType.String,
            required: false
        },
        {
            name: 'live',
            description: "Photo lors d'un stream",
            type: ApplicationCommandOptionType.String,
            required: false
        }
    ],
async runInteraction(client, interaction) {}
};

module.exports = {
    name: 'updatepic',
    description: '[ADMIN]',
    permissions: [PermissionsBitField.Flags.Administrator], //i handle this in interactionCreate
    category: 'database', //irrelevant, just for help command
    usage: 'updatepic [link]', //irrelevant, just for help command
    examples: ['updatepic default'], //irrelevant, just for help command
    options: [
        {
            name: 'default',
            description: 'Photo hors steram',
            type: ApplicationCommandOptionType.String,
            required: false
        },
        {
            name: 'live',
            description: "Photo lors d'un stream",
            type: ApplicationCommandOptionType.String,
            required: false
        }
    ],
async runInteraction(client, interaction) {}
};

But i'm trying to do recreate this with TS and i don't seem to be able to do it this way, Also : How should i manage to get this architecture with sub commands ? I find this way easier to read so i'd like to keep it that way if possible

I mean if you dont want to use the discord.js way Im not sure its up to us to support it. Why doesnt this work?

Adan_eaOP•2y ago

It's not that it doesn't work, i just find this heavy and not really easy to read:

.setName('event')
        .setDescription('Créer un évènement')
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option.setName('titre').setDescription("Titre de l'évènement").setRequired(true)
        )
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option
                .setName('dateheure')
                .setDescription("Date et heure de l'évènement (AAAA-MM-JJ HH:mm)")
                .setRequired(true)
        )
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option
                .setName('description')
                .setDescription("Description de l'évènement")
                .setRequired(false)
        )
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option
                .setName('imageurl')
                .setDescription("URL de l'image (png|jpg|jpeg|gif|webp)")
                .setRequired(false)
        )
        .addNumberOption(option =>
            option
                .setName('maxparticipants')
                .setDescription("Nombre de participants max, les autres seront en file d'attente")
                .setRequired(false)
        )
        .addStringOption(option =>
            option.setName('duree').setDescription("Durée de l'évènement").setRequired(false)
        ),
    category: 'events',
    permissions: [PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageEvents],
    usage: `event [titre][description][dateheure]<durée><maxparticipants><imageURL>

That's how i'm currently "supposed" to do with discord.js 14 (that's how it's done on the doc) But i liked how it was done in v13

monbrey•2y ago

thats using builders but you dont have to

Adan_eaOP•2y ago

I can just do the first one and use it that way ? But how about the sub commands then ? How can i include them ?

monbrey•2y ago

you can use raw objects as long as they match the format Theyre just option types

Adan_eaOP•2y ago

Omg i'm gonna try that out, it would be game changer

monbrey•2y ago

options: [{
  name: 'sub1',
  type: ApplicationCommandOptionType.Subcommand,
  options: [{
    name: 'suboption1',
    ...
  ]}
]}

options: [{
  name: 'sub1',
  type: ApplicationCommandOptionType.Subcommand,
  options: [{
    name: 'suboption1',
    ...
  ]}
]}

Thanks a lot, i'm gonna try it and i'll come back to you !

Other question not directly related to the subjet, So the previous bot i used had it's own commands but i cant delete them, any idea ? I'm trying to do this :

export const deleteCMD = (clientId: string) => {
    const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN!);

    rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(clientId), { body: [] })
        .then(() => Logger.info(`Successfully deleted all application commands.`))
        .catch(console.error);
};

export const deleteCMD = (clientId: string) => {
    const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN!);

    rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(clientId), { body: [] })
        .then(() => Logger.info(`Successfully deleted all application commands.`))
        .catch(console.error);
};

But it still has the previous commands: EDIT: nvm i'm deleteing them all one by one with the API it seems to work !

If you have duplicate commands on your server, you registered both global and guild commands. You can remove the duplicates by resetting either the global or guild commands - Resetting global commands: rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(clientId), { body: [] }) - Resetting guild commands: rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId), { body: [] })
