examples i found were also different so idk what to do at this point

Mark•3w ago

Are you using create-discord-bot? If so, the code it produces and the guide don't match up, as they were written at two different times. There is internal discussion to update the guide, although I don't know the status of the changes. What's your current code, and what are you trying to do? Do you have a good grasp of JS and TS to begin with?

yes I did use create-discord-bot I'm trying to make a bot that will allow users to submit images for approval by mods I have already setup an api, db and object storage for the images aka i have everything needed around the bot just need to make the bot itself which i assumed would be easy as i have already made stuff like replugged plugins before and i only need like 4-5 commands

The guide is generally meant to help you understand the process of making a discord bot. The script differs because as mark said it was made at different times. What issues are you having with create-discord-bot? You could look at the example ping command on the template and you can structure you other commands like that

lisekilisOP•3w ago

i don't understand the project structure and how i should approach creating a command

NyR•3w ago

Same goes for events and such

Mark•3w ago

The general idea here would be to learn the concept of how slash commands work, then use that to copy and modify the ping command in the cdb template to have an attachment option

lisekilisOP•3w ago

i have made half of the bot, realized that I'm doing it completely wrong and scrapped it that does not use the commandbuilder and i wanted to use that cuz it seamed easier

Mark•3w ago

You can use the builder if you want, then just use toJSON() at the end

lisekilisOP•3w ago

so instead of doing this

import type { Command } from './index.js';
export default {
    data: {
        name: 'ping',
        description: 'Ping!',
    },
    async execute(interaction) {
        await interaction.reply('Pong!');
    },
} satisfies Command;

import type { Command } from './index.js';
export default {
    data: {
        name: 'ping',
        description: 'Ping!',
    },
    async execute(interaction) {
        await interaction.reply('Pong!');
    },
} satisfies Command;

I'd have to do this?

import type { Command } from './index.js';
export default {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('ping')
    .setDescription('Ping!').toJSON(),
    async execute(interaction) {
        await interaction.reply('Pong!');
    },
} satisfies Command;

import type { Command } from './index.js';
export default {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('ping')
    .setDescription('Ping!').toJSON(),
    async execute(interaction) {
        await interaction.reply('Pong!');
    },
} satisfies Command;

NyR•3w ago

Yes

lisekilisOP•3w ago

well i'll attempt to do that and get back to you if i encounter any issues or succeed this is the one thing i have from before i scrapped everything

import process from 'node:process';
import type { Role, CommandInteraction } from 'discord.js';
import { SlashCommandBuilder } from 'discord.js';

export const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('setmodrole')
    .setDescription('Set the role that is allowed to approve, deny, or delete pillow images')
    .addRoleOption((option) => option.setName('role').setDescription('The role to set as moderator').setRequired(true));

export async function execute(interaction: CommandInteraction) {
    if (!interaction.memberPermissions?.has('Administrator')) {
        await interaction.reply({ content: 'You do not have permission to set the moderator role.', ephemeral: true });
        return;
    }

    const role = interaction.options.get('role')?.role as Role;
    if (!role) {
        await interaction.reply({ content: 'Role not found.', ephemeral: true });
        return;
    }

    await fetch(`pillow.api.lisekilis.dev/mod/${interaction.guildId}`, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PILLOW_API_KEY}`,
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
            roleId: role.id,
        }),
    });

    await interaction.reply({ content: `Moderator role has been set to **${role.name}**.`, ephemeral: true });
}

import process from 'node:process';
import type { Role, CommandInteraction } from 'discord.js';
import { SlashCommandBuilder } from 'discord.js';

export const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('setmodrole')
    .setDescription('Set the role that is allowed to approve, deny, or delete pillow images')
    .addRoleOption((option) => option.setName('role').setDescription('The role to set as moderator').setRequired(true));

export async function execute(interaction: CommandInteraction) {
    if (!interaction.memberPermissions?.has('Administrator')) {
        await interaction.reply({ content: 'You do not have permission to set the moderator role.', ephemeral: true });
        return;
    }

    const role = interaction.options.get('role')?.role as Role;
    if (!role) {
        await interaction.reply({ content: 'Role not found.', ephemeral: true });
        return;
    }

    await fetch(`pillow.api.lisekilis.dev/mod/${interaction.guildId}`, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PILLOW_API_KEY}`,
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
            roleId: role.id,
        }),
    });

    await interaction.reply({ content: `Moderator role has been set to **${role.name}**.`, ephemeral: true });
}

it is very wrong

NyR•3w ago

You need to export it as a default object, like you did for your example above Also append .toJSON() at the end of the builder

lisekilisOP•3w ago

got 1 kinda relevant question how bad of an idea is storage of the bot settings in cloudflare kv storage alright how wrong is this

import process from 'node:process';
import type { ChatInputCommandInteraction } from 'discord.js';

            option.setName('role').setDescription('The role to set as image moderator').setRequired(true),
        )
        .toJSON(),
    async execute(interaction: ChatInputCommandInteraction) {
        if (!interaction.memberPermissions?.has('Administrator')) {
            await interaction.reply({

            return;

        const role = interaction.options.getRole('role');
        if (!role) {
