Unable to create slash commands

This is my code:

client.application.commands.create({
  name: 'test',
  description: 'devs',
})
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

client.application.commands.create({
  name: 'test',
  description: 'devs',
})
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

This is the error Im getting

Uncaught TypeError TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'commands')

Uncaught TypeError TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'commands')

thanks it works is there a way to add options to it

  commands.create({
    name: 'test',
    description: 'devs',
  })

  commands.create({
    name: 'test',
    description: 'devs',
  })

pass in the options array and also use a separate deploy script

how do I do that Just started learning djs 2 days back

read and if you're new i would recommend using builders

Carbon•13mo ago

what are builders

d.js docs•13mo ago

SlashCommandBuilder (extends SharedNameAndDescription)

Carbon•13mo ago

I used builders first but I didn't know what to do after that

const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName("promote")
    .setDescription("promote a user to the next rank.")
    .addStringOption(option =>
        option.setName('user_id')
           .setDescription('test hi')
            .setRequired(false));

const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName("promote")
    .setDescription("promote a user to the next rank.")
    .addStringOption(option =>
        option.setName('user_id')
           .setDescription('test hi')
            .setRequired(false));

I couldn't find anything for that either
