Commands

Setting Up Commands

1. Create a new file in the src/commands directory.
2. Copy the following code into the file:

const { SlashCommandBuilder, ChatInputCommandInteraction } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    category: 'General', // The category the command belongs to. "Owner" and "Developer" are special categories. You can use anything as a category.
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder() // The command data
        .setName('command') // The name of the command
        .setDescription('Command description'), // The description of the command
    /**
     * @param {ChatInputCommandInteraction} interaction 
     */
    async execute(interaction) {
        interaction.reply('Hello, world!');
    }
};

3. Fill in the values in the code.

Built-in Commands

• ping: Replies with the bot's ping.
• help: Replies with the help menu.
• eval: Evaluates JavaScript code.

Embeds

We use a custom embed class to make it easier to create embeds. It is similar to discord.js's EmbedBuilder but with default values. You can find the class in src/modules/embed.js.

Creating an Embed

const EmbedMaker = require('../modules/embed.js');

const embed = new EmbedMaker(client) // You can use interaction.client in command files
    .setTitle('Title')
    .setDescription('Description')

Localization

Adding a localization

1. Find your language file in src/i18n and open it. If it doesn't exist, create it.
2. Copy the following code into the file:

module.exports = {
    MY_LOCALIZED_TEXT: 'My localized text',
    // ...
};

3. Fill in the values in the code.
4. Add your language to the locales object in src/modules/localization.js.

Using a localization

const { localize } = require('../modules/localization.js');

console.log(localize('en-US', 'MY_LOCALIZED_TEXT')); // Replace 'en-US' with the language code of your language file.

Logger

We use a custom logger class to make it easier to log messages. You can find the class in src/modules/logger.js.

Logging a message

Method Usage: logger(type, title, ...messages)

const logger = require('../modules/logger.js');

logger('warning', 'COMMAND', 'Command', 'eval', 'blocked for', 'tolgchu', 'because it is developer only');

According to the above code, the logger will highlight "eval" and "tolgchu" parts.
