Slash Commands

Creating a slash command

To cretae a slash command you can use discog.NewSlashCommand function.

Example :

command := discog.NewSlashCommand(discordgo.ApplicationCommand{
		Name:        "hello",
		Description: "Replies with a Hii message",
	})

This will create a slash command.

You can refer to offical discord go package for more information about creating ApplicationCommand

Adding handler to command

For now we just define the command details but we don't have the logic to handle the command. We can handle command using SetHandler function.

    command := discog.NewSlashCommand(discordgo.ApplicationCommand{
		Name:        "hello",
		Description: "Replies with a Hii message",
	})

	command.SetHandler(func(ctx *discog.Ctx) {

		ctx.SetContent("Hii")
		err := ctx.Send()
		if err != nil {
			println(err.Error())
		}
	})

On using this command bot will respond like this :

Now the handler function will take a patameter ctx which contains the methods and information about the interaction.

Few things which you used from the discog.Ctx :

• Session *discordgo.Session
• Interaction *discordgo.InteractionCreate

And also you can see the API reference for more information.

Adding Slash command to group

To add the command to our group we can use AddCommand function.

main.go

command := discog.NewSlashCommand(discordgo.ApplicationCommand{
	Name:        "hello",
	Description: "Replies with a Hii message",
})

command.SetHandler(func(ctx *discog.Ctx) {
	ctx.SetContent("Hii")
	err := ctx.Send()
	if err != nil {
		println(err.Error())
	}
})

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

Full Code

main.go

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

func main() {

	command := discog.NewSlashCommand(discordgo.ApplicationCommand{
		Name:        "hello",
		Description: "Replies with a Hii message",
	})

	command.SetHandler(func(ctx *discog.Ctx) {
		ctx.SetContent("Hii")
		err := ctx.Send()
		if err != nil {
			println(err.Error())
		}
	})

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

	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")
	})
}

Now this will register a command named hello to your bot. And It'll reply with a Hii message to that interaction.
