/role spam

[Gaute945]

add a cooldown for /role and make the roles not apear in the side bar

Rationale

server owners are complaining about /role getting spammed, filling the role slots and side bar

this would get more servers to enable /role

Implementation Details

Cooldowns | discord.js Guide
using maps for per server cooldown

const cooldowns = new Map();
client.on("interactionCreate", async (interaction) => {
  if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

  const { commandName, guildId } = interaction;
  const now = Date.now();
  const cooldownAmount = 3 * 1000; // Cooldown time in milliseconds (3 seconds here)

  if (!cooldowns.has(commandName)) {
    cooldowns.set(commandName, new Map());
  }

  const timestamps = cooldowns.get(commandName);
  const expirationTime = timestamps.get(guildId) + cooldownAmount;

  if (timestamps.has(guildId)) {
    if (now < expirationTime) {
      const timeLeft = (expirationTime - now) / 1000;
      return interaction.reply({
        content: `Please wait ${timeLeft.toFixed(1)} more second(s) before reusing the \`${commandName}\` command.`,
        ephemeral: true,
      });
    }
  }

  timestamps.set(guildId, now);
  setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(guildId), cooldownAmount);

  // Your command logic here
  // Existing command logic follows...
});

Explanation

• Cooldown Map: A cooldowns map is initialized to keep track of cooldowns for each command.

• Interaction Handling: For each command, it checks if the user is on cooldown. If so, it replies with the remaining cooldown time. Otherwise, it sets a cooldown for the user and proceeds with the command execution.

• Command Logic: The existing command logic remains unchanged and is executed if the user is not on cooldown.
