Managing Commands

Discog have two main components to manage commands.

  • Command Manager : This is the manager which must have all the commands which you want your bot to have.
  • Command Group : You can group your commands into category for that purpose a CommandGroup .

Command Manager​

Discog has it's own way to register commands to Discord API. You can use CommandManager to auto register & unregister commands from your bot.

Here's how you can create one command manager for your bot.

manager := discog.NewCommandManager()

This will create a command manager for your bot. But currently you don't have any commands which your user can interact with your bot.

Discog also provides a great way to manage like-commands i.e let's say you want to have moderation commands the you can create a command group like moderationGroup, which you can add to your command manager using AddGroup function.

Example :

manager := discog.NewCommandManager()
manager.AddGroup(moderationGroup)

Command Group​

Creating a command group :

group := discog.NewCommandGroup("Simple", "Public Commands for the Bot", "")

Now this will create a command group. It will take 3 parameters :

  • name: The name of the command group.
  • description: Description for the command group.
  • guildId: Guild ID for the command to register. Empty for all Server.

Why command group?

You can use command group to frame help command and providing commands specific to server.

Still you don't have any command so now in the next section we'll see how we can add Slash Commands to our command manager.

import (
	log
	"github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo"
	discog "github.com/kisshan13/discog"
)

func main() {
	group := discog.NewCommandGroup("Simple", "Public Commands for the Bot", "")

	manager := discog.NewCommandManager()
	manager.AddGroup(group)

	bot, err := discog.NewBot("<token>", manager)

	bot.Run(func(session *discordgo.Session, err error) {
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}
		log.Println("Bot is running")
	})
}
