I'm making a bot that has slash commands and I want to attach a file, no message, only an image file. I tried doing this, but it ends up giving me an empty message error.
const attachment = new MessageAttachment("image.bmp");
client.api.interactions(interaction.id, interaction.token).callback.post({
data: {
type: 4,
data: {
files: [attachment]
}
}
})
So my question is, how do I attach an image with this JSON format discord interaction?
UPDATE: I currently have this, which still doesn't work, but gives me this.
const file = new MessageAttachment (
"image.bmp"
);
client.api.interactions(interaction.id, interaction.token).callback.post({
data: {
type: 4,
data: {
content: "hello",
"embeds": [
{
"title": `This is a cool embed`,
image: {
url: 'attachment://image.bmp',
},
"type": "rich",
"description": "",
"color": 0x00FFFF
}
]
},
}
})
With Discord.js V13, use a combination of await interaction.deferReply(); to allow the command more time to work, then you can use await interaction.editRepy({ files: [attatchment] }); to update the deferReply(); with your attatchment. An example slash command would look something like this in a slash command handler:
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');
const { MessageAttachment } = require('discord.js')
module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('attachment')
.setDescription('Upload a file')
.addAttachmentOption(option => option.setName('attachment').setDescription('Upload an attachment')),
async execute(interaction) {
let attachment = await interaction.options.getAttachment('attachment');
await interaction.deferReply(); // Deffer Reply so we have more time
console.log(attachment.url) // You can see URL, which is what we will use later
console.log(attachment.contentType) // See the file type
attachment = await new MessageAttachment(attachment.url, 'image.png'); // Converting URL to image as well as naming the file/assigning the file type
await interaction.editReply( // Sending the image
{
files: [attachment]
}
)
},
};
Hope this helps! :D
