I'm building a discord bot using discord.js. All of my source code is from the official discord.js guide website, and I'm wondering how I could list all declared slash commands to a JSON file commands.json.
Here is my code:
deploy_commands.js:
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');
const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v9');
const { clientId, guildId, token } = require('./config.json');
const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');
const commands = [];
const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
const command = require(filePath);
commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
}
const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken(token);
rest.put(Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId), { body: commands })
.then(() => console.log('Successfully registered application commands.'))
.catch(console.error);
index.js:
const { Client, Collection, Intents } = require("discord.js");
const client = new Client({intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS]});
const config = require("./config.json");
const { guildId, clientId, token } = require('./config.json');
const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');
client.commands = new Collection();
const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
const command = require(filePath);
client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log(`user : ${client.user.tag}\nguildid : ${guildId}\nclientid : ${clientId}`);
});
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;
const command = client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);
if (!command) return;
try {
await command.execute(interaction);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
await interaction.reply({content: 'Sorry, there was a problem while executing this command, maybe try again later?', ephemeral: true});
}
});
client.login(token);
deploy_commands.js is a file for deploying commands, and what I want to do is to save all the declared slash commands and transfer all of them to a JSON file.
I personally suggest you the usage of map() to manage the array where you store every command inside deploy_commands.js.
Following you can find a solution that worked for me:
const fs = require('fs');
const commands = [...commandBuilders...].map(command => command.toJSON());
const commandsToString = JSON.stringify(commands);
fs.writeFile('commands.json', commandsToString, (e, res) =>{
if (e) console.log('ERROR: ' + e);
}
