How do I distinguish an `APIRole` from a `Role`?
In a CommandInteraction, if you set one of the options to
type: 8 for Role, the user can pass in an APIRole if they want. (I think that's a separate problem that needs to be solved, but in the meantime...) Is there an easy way to check if they've passed in a Role or an APIRole?5 Replies
- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

interaction.inCachedGuild() as a guard.
role instanceof Role (Role being imported from discord.js) works tooMaybe I misunderstood something...
I create a Bot called 'Foo' and I add it to a server. It automatically gets assigned a role 'Foo' (which I will now refer to as FooBot and FooRole). In the Server Settings under Roles, if you click 'FooRole' it gives you the big warning:
This role is managed by an integration, yada yada yada".FooBot says,
Hey, server admin! You can typeThe autocomplete options for/config role(where this is an application command with optiontype: 8) and give me a role to ping when so and so happens.
/config role includes FooRole. Ideally - I don't want the autocomplete to include that role. But if it must be included, then I want to do something in my code with interaction.reply({message: "That's not a valid role. Choose a role that didn't come in with a bot!"})
Is FooRole an APIRole? I assumed yes.
I see. I'll dig into that. Thanks!
