discord.js - Imagine ❄•2y ago

Property 'cmds' does not exist on type 'Client<boolean>'

It's my first time using TypeScript with discord.js & express, I used some of my JS knowledge and it is causing an error now. (if it isnt fixable then what would be the best way to approach slash command handlers on TypeScript)

TypeScript (TS) is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript - website | GitHub | book

wrong one

We highly recommend you extend the Client structure properly instead of just attaching custom properties like .commands to the regular discord.js Client instance. - Using typescript, you might want to consider casting or augmenting the module type

You can probably just make your own interface that extends the discord.js Client.
