Creating Commands

This section assumes your prefix is !. If you changed your prefix, replace ! with your actual prefix.

In this section, we will go over how to create commands for your bot. Commands are the main way users will interact with your bot.

The template comes with an example command called ping. You can find it in the src/commands/ping.ts file. This command will reply with the latency of the bot when a user types !ping.

Creating Your First Command

Let's create a simple hello command:

src/commands/hello.ts

import { Command, PermissionLevel } from "@/classes/commnd";

export default new Command({
  name: "hello",
  description: "Greets you with a friendly message",
  aliases: ["hi", "hey"],
  cooldown: 3,
  permission: PermissionLevel.User,
  execute: async (client, message) => {
    await message.reply(`Hello ${message.author?.username}! 👋`);
  },
});

When someone types !hello (or !hi or !hey), the bot will reply with a greeting.

Create a file

In src/commands/, create a new file called hello.ts.

Type the following code

src/commands/hello.ts

export default new Command({});

You might've noticed that when you start typing new Command, you get suggestions for the properties you can add. This is called intellisense. You can press Enter or Tab to quickly add the properties you need.

intellisense

Fill in the required properties

src/commands/hello.ts

import { Command, PermissionLevel } from "@/classes/commnd";

export default new Command({
  name: "hello",
  permission: PermissionLevel.User,
  execute: async (client, message) => {},
});

Add optional properties

src/commands/hello.ts

import { Command, PermissionLevel } from "@/classes/commnd";

export default new Command({
  name: "hello",
  description: "Greets you with a friendly message",
  aliases: ["hi", "hey"],
  cooldown: 3,
  permission: PermissionLevel.User,
  execute: async (client, message) => {},
});

Write your code in execute

src/commands/hello.ts

import { Command, PermissionLevel } from "@/classes/commnd";

export default new Command({
  name: "hello",
  description: "Greets you with a friendly message",
  aliases: ["hi", "hey"],
  cooldown: 3,
  permission: PermissionLevel.User,
  execute: async (client, message) => {
    await message.reply(`Hello ${message.author?.username}! 👋`);
  },
});

Save the file and test your command

Run your bot and type !hello in a server. The bot should reply with a greeting.
