Handling Application Commands

Currently the @lilybird/handlers package provides only one way of handling application commands, however, I can assure you there are more to come.

To be completely honest, the current API is not the greatest but was the fastest one for a demo.

Creating a simple command

Lets create a simple ping command to demonstrate how it works.

index.ts
import { createClient, Intents } from "lilybird";
import { createHandler } from "@lilybird/handlers/simple";


const listeners = await createHandler({
  dirs: {
    slashCommands: `${import.meta.dir}/commands`,
  }
})


await createClient({
  token: process.env.TOKEN,
  intents: [Intents.GUILDS],
  listeners: {/* your listeners */}
  ...listeners
})
commands/ping.tsx
import { SlashCommand } from "@lilybird/handlers/simple";


export default {
  post: "GLOBAL",
  data: {
    name: "ping",
    description: "pong"
  },
  run: async (interaction) => {
    const { ws, rest } = await interaction.client.ping();


    await interaction.reply({
      content: `🏓 WebSocket: \`${ws}ms\` | Rest: \`${rest}ms\``
    });
  },
} satisfies SlashCommand
