@discordjs/core interaction create type error

Hi, I am creating a bot using @discordjs/core and it seems to be having issues with TypeScript when I do i.data.data?.name to get the name of the command, doing debugging I can see that name does exist under there but TypeScript is saying it doesn't. I could get around this by using any but my code doesn't allow any for many reasons. Is there a reason for this?

this would be because the InteractioncCreate event emits for all interactions, not just command interactions similar to how in the mainlib you ought to typeguard with <Interaction>.isChatInputCommand(), you'll want to typeguard your interaction data you can import isChatInputApplicationCommandInteraction from discord-api-types/utils you'll also want to check <APIInteraction>.type

I forgot about that part! Thanks Duck, let me try get this working then hm, using both of the things you just mentioned, typescript is still giving me the name error, is it possible for you to give me a quick snippet of what you mean incase I am missing something?

let interaction: APIInteraction;
if (interaction.type === InteractionType.ApplicationCommand && isChatInputApplicationCommandInteraction(interaction)) {
  // do things
}

let interaction: APIInteraction;
if (interaction.type === InteractionType.ApplicationCommand && isChatInputApplicationCommandInteraction(interaction)) {
  // do things
}
