Bot owner only commands
Some commands should only be available to the bot owners. A perfect example of this is a "status" command that updates the status of your bot. WOKCommands comes with this capability.
Here is how your command file should be setup:
JavaScript
TypeScript
status.js
const { CommandType } = require("wokcommands");
const setStatus = (client, status) => {
client.user?.setPresence({
status: "online",
activities: [
{
name: status,
type: ActivityType.Playing,
},
],
});
};
module.exports = {
description: "Sets the bot's status",
type: CommandType.BOTH,
minArgs: 1,
expectedArgs: "<status>",
ownerOnly: true,
callback: ({ client, text }) => {
setStatus(client, text);
return {
content: `Set status to "${text}"`,
};
},
};
status.ts
import { ActivityType, Client } from "discord.js";
import { CommandObject, CommandType, CommandUsage } from "wokcommands";
const setStatus = (client: Client, status: string) => {
client.user?.setPresence({
status: "online",
activities: [
{
name: status,
type: ActivityType.Playing,
},
],
});
};
export default {
description: "Sets the bot's status",
type: CommandType.BOTH,
minArgs: 1,
expectedArgs: "<status>",
ownerOnly: true,
callback: (options: CommandUsage) => {
const { client, text } = options;
setStatus(client, text);
return {
content: `Set status to "${text}"`,
};
},
} as CommandObject;
Whenever we initialize WOKCommands we can pass in any number of IDs for the owner's Discord accounts:
The bot owner's ID is automatically added to the bot owner list. If you are the only developer working on your project you do not need to add your ID.
JavaScript
TypeScript
index.js
const path = require("path");
const WOK = require("wokcommands");
require("dotenv/config");
const client = new Client({
intents: [
IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages,
IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
],
partials: [Partials.Channel],
});
client.on("ready", () => {
console.log("The bot is ready");
new WOK({
client,
commandsDir: path.join(__dirname, "commands"),
botOwners: ["Your_ID_Here"]
});
});
client.login(process.env.TOKEN);
index.ts
import { Client, IntentsBitField, Partials } from "discord.js";
import path from "path";
import WOK from "wokcommands";
require("dotenv/config");
const client = new Client({
intents: [
IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages,
IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
],
partials: [Partials.Channel],
});
client.on("ready", () => {
console.log("The bot is ready");
new WOK({
client,
commandsDir: path.join(__dirname, "commands"),
botOwners: ["Your_ID_Here"]
});
});
client.login(process.env.TOKEN);
