npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

Your code uses
interaction, so I suppose you want to use slash commands, but the title says 'without the slash'i want to use prefix commands like !add, !get... I thought that interaction concerned all types of interaction that the customer had with the bot.
Prefix commands are old type of commands which were replaced by slash commands. For prefix commands you need to have Message Content privileged intent enabled. By the way Discord doesn't approve the intent to verified bots just for prefix commands.
Make a handler for prefix commands isn't that hard. You just need to parse the content of incoming messages to get the command name and arguments, and the rest of the handler is almost the same as for slash commands.
oohh i think i get it, i need to make a messageHandler file where i'll have multiple conditions for every prefix cmd which will execute each slash command ?
Yeah that's right
thank you sir
