Replying to commands

Search…
Sometimes you will want to reply to a message the same way you will reply to an interaction. Instead of manually replying to the correct method, WOKCommands makes it easy by returning from the callback function. You can return a string, a Message Embed, or a reply object:
JavaScript
TypeScript
ping.js
module.exports = {
  category: 'Testing',
  description: 'Replies with pong', // Required for slash commands
  
  slash: 'both', // Create both a slash and legacy command
  testOnly: true, // Only register a slash command for the testing guilds
  
  callback: ({ message, interaction }) => {
    // OPTION 1: Replying to each method manually
    const reply = 'Pong!'
​
    if (message) {
      message.reply({
        content: reply
      })
    }
​
    if (interaction) {
      interaction.reply({
        content: reply
      })
    }
    
    // OPTION 2: Replying with a string as "content"
    return reply
    
    // OPTION 3: Replying with a reply object that will be used
    // in message.reply() or interaction.reply()
    return {
      content: reply,
      ephemeral: true,
    }
  },
}
ping.ts
import { ICommand } from 'wokcommands'
​
export default {
  category: 'Testing',
  description: 'Replies with pong', // Required for slash commands
  
  slash: 'both', // Create both a slash and legacy command
  testOnly: true, // Only register a slash command for the testing guilds
  
  callback: ({ message, interaction }) => {
    // OPTION 1: Replying to each method manually
    const reply = 'Pong!'
​
    if (message) {
      message.reply({
        content: reply
      })
    }
​
    if (interaction) {
      interaction.reply({
        content: reply
      })
    }
    
    // OPTION 2: Replying with a string as "content"
    return reply
    
    // OPTION 3: Replying with a reply object that will be used
    // in message.reply() or interaction.reply()
    return {
      content: reply,
      ephemeral: true,
    }
  },
} as ICommand
