Extending Client and making Interaction.client use that new Client

As said in the guide, I have extended my Client class, no problems there. Though, I want to use interaction.client in my commands, yet that still refers to the old class. Forgive me, I'm a little new to JS and absolutely not sure how to go about this, am I thinking of it wrong even? Should I be passing client in my command handler? Should I just use imports? I would really like to avoid the imports, but I'm not against it. What is the right choice here, I'm almost positive I cannot be the first to ask this question, but a search yields no results here.

Hold on, stupid discord index in these forums did not show a forum down like 8 posts... Honestly that was not helpful. Still need some help.

interface ExtendedClientOptions extends ClientOptions {
  guildId?: string;
  commandsDirectory?: string;
}

export class ExtendedClient extends Client {
  commands: Collection<string, CommandType> = new Collection();
  guildId?: string;
  commandsDirectory: string = "";

  constructor({
    guildId,
    commandsDirectory = "commands",
    ...options
  }: ExtendedClientOptions) {
    super(options);
    this.guildId = guildId;
    this.commandsDirectory = commandsDirectory;
  }
  
...etc
}

interface ExtendedClientOptions extends ClientOptions {
  guildId?: string;
  commandsDirectory?: string;
}

export class ExtendedClient extends Client {
  commands: Collection<string, CommandType> = new Collection();
  guildId?: string;
  commandsDirectory: string = "";

  constructor({
    guildId,
    commandsDirectory = "commands",
    ...options
  }: ExtendedClientOptions) {
    super(options);
    this.guildId = guildId;
    this.commandsDirectory = commandsDirectory;
  }
  
...etc
}

This is how I extended client. For future people: I'm going with the route of passing client to my commands in the handler, so instead of

function mycommand(interaction: CommandInteraction, arg1: string) ...

function mycommand(interaction: CommandInteraction, arg1: string) ...

I can do

function mycommand(client: ExtendedClient, interaction: CommandInteraction, arg1: string) ...

function mycommand(client: ExtendedClient, interaction: CommandInteraction, arg1: string) ...
