Message handler
The message handler class handles all of the customizable messages and translations in WOKCommands. To access it's instance you can use the following:
JavaScript
TypeScript
index.js
const DiscordJS = require('discord.js')
const WOKCommands = require('wokcommands')
const path = require('path')
​
const { Intents } = DiscordJS
​
const client = new DiscordJS.Client({
  // These intents are recommended for the built in help menu
  intents: [
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS,
  ],
})
​
client.on('ready', () => {
  const wok = new WOKCommands(client, {
    // The name of the local folder for your command files
    commandsDir: path.join(__dirname, 'commands')
  })
  
  const { messageHandler } = wok
})
​
client.login('YOUR TOKEN HERE')
index.ts
import DiscordJS, { Intents } from 'discord.js'
import WOKCommands from 'wokcommands'
import path from 'path'
​
const client = new DiscordJS.Client({
  // These intents are recommended for the built in help menu
  intents: [
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS,
  ],
})
​
client.on('ready', () => {
  const wok = new WOKCommands(client, {
    // The name of the local folder for your command files
    commandsDir: path.join(__dirname, 'commands'),
    // Allow importing of .ts files if you are using ts-node
    typeScript: true,
  })
  
  const { messageHandler } = wok
})
​
client.login('YOUR TOKEN HERE')
You can then use the following methods:

    // Returns eithe the default language or the language for the guild
    // depending on if the guild was null or not
    public getLanguage(guild: Guild | null): string;
    
    // Returns a "direct message" from messages.json
    public get(
        guild: Guild | null, // For translations
        messageId: string, // The name of the field in messages.json
        args?: { [key: string]: string }
    ): string;
    
    // Returns an "embed message" from messages.json
    public getEmbed(
        guild: Guild | null, // For translations
        embedId: string, // The name of the field in messages.json
        itemId: string, // The nested object for the embed in messages.json
        args?: { [key: string]: string }
    );
