This Discord bot template uses CommonJS modules. You cannot use import
, export
or any related keywords from the ES6 modules.
module.exports = {
structure: {
name: string,
description: string,
aliases: string[],
permissions?: PermissionResolvable,
cooldown?: number,
globalCooldown?: boolean,
developers?: boolean,
nsfw?: boolean
},
run: (client, message, args) => void
};
module.exports = {
structure: SlashCommandBuilder | ContextMenuCommandBuilder,
options?: {
cooldown?: number,
globalCooldown?: boolean,
developers?: boolean,
nsfw?: boolean
},
run: (client, interaction) => void
};
The ...args
is a spread operator of arguments from the event chosen. For an example, if the event is 'messageCreate', the first argument is going to be type of Message.
module.exports = {
event: string,
once?: boolean,
run: (client, ...args) => void
};
The interaction
is the interaction of the component. For an example, if the custom ID is from a button, the interaction is type of ButtonInteraction.
module.exports = {
customId: string,
options?: {
public?: boolean
},
run: async (client, interaction) => Promise<void>
};
