AutoCommand

AutoCommand is an extension library for the Discord.Net wrapper enabling to automatically add slash commands to your bot through JSON files. Additionaly it provides a basic slash command routing implementation.

Slash Command Creation

AutoCommand adds an extension method to the Discord client, which takes care of the slash command creation:

var client = ...;

await client.CreateSlashCommandsAsync("path/to/commands");

Slash Command Configuration

A slash command has following structure (not all fields are required):

{
  "name": "kick",
  "description": "Kick user",
  "isDefaultPermission": true,
  "isNsfw": false,
  -- NOTE: Only add a guild ID if you intend to create a guild slash command instead of a global one -- 
  "guildId": <guildId>,
  "defaultMemberPermissions": [
    "KickMembers"
  ],
  "integrationTypes": [
    "GuildInstall"
  ],
  "contextTypes": [
    "Guild"
  ],
  "options": [
    <COMMAND_OPTION>
  ],
  "nameLocalizations": {
    "en-US": "kick"
  },
  "descriptionLocalizations": {
    "en-US": "Kick user"
  }
}

Note

defaultMemberPermissions, integrationTypes and contextTypes values can be looked up in the Discord.Net library under GuildPermission, ApplicationIntegrationType and InteractionContextType respectively

Slash Command Option Configuration

A slash command option has following structure (not all fields are required):

{
  "name": "user",
  "description": "The user to kick",
  "type": "User",
  "isRequired": true,
  "isDefault": true,
  "isAutoComplete": false,
  -- NOTE: Not needed here, included for completeness --
  "minValue": 1,
  "maxValue": 2,
  "minLength": 1,
  "maxLength": 2,
  -- NOTE: Only useful if type == Channel -- 
  "channelTypes": [
    "Text", "DM"
  ],
  "options": [
    <COMMAND_OPTION>
  ],
  "choices": [
    <COMMAND_CHOICE>
  ],
  "nameLocalizations": {
    "en-US": "user"
  },
  "descriptionLocalizations": {
    "en-US": "The user to kick"
  }
}

Note

type and channelTypes values can be looked up in the Discord.Net library under ApplicationCommandOptionType and ChannelType respectively

Slash Command Choice Configuration

A slash command choice has following structure (localizations are not required):

{
  "name": "choice",
  "value": "value",
  "nameLocalizations": {
    "en-US": "choice"
  }
}

Slash Command Routing

You can use the DefaultCommandRouter to register command handlers:

var client = ...;
var commandRouter = new DefaultCommandRouter();

commandRouter.Register(new MyCommandHandler());

client.SlashCommandExecuted += command => commandRouter.HandleAsync(command);

Creating Command Handler

In order to create a custom command handler, you have to implement the ICommandHandler interface and register it on the command router as shown above:

public class MyCommandHandler : ICommandHandler
{
    public string CommandName => "mycommand";

    public async Task HandleAsync(ILogger logger, SocketSlashCommand command)
    {
        // Handle command ...

        logger.Information("Handling command!");
        await command.RespondAsync("beep!");
    }
}
