Interactions and Command handler 4 Dummies
With npm
npm i ic4d
with yarn
yarn add ic4d
const ic4d = require("ic4d");
// or
const {
/* Classess you need seprated by a comma */
} = require("ic4d");and for yall ts lovers (I tried using this in ts and damn is it hard work.)
import * as ic4d from "ic4d";
// or
import /* Classes and/or Interfaces you need separated by a comma */ "ic4d";If any method/function has no return documentation, it returns void.

You don't need to use or touch any of the methods and properties in this class. Do that and your bot may not work lol
client: Client- (optional) Discord.js Client Instance.
- (If you are sharding, rather enter the client instance into the other classes into the
shardClientparameter and leave this undefined)
logToFolder: string | false- (optional) Default folder to log to.
const { CoreHandler } = require("ic4d");
const { Client } = require("discord.js");
const client = new Client();
const core = new CoreHandler(client, "./logs");Ready handler is a handler that runs a set of functions when the bot starts.
core:CoreHandler- CoreHandler instance.
shardClient: Client- (optional) The Discord.js Client instance to use. If provided, it should be a shard-specific client.
- If left undefined, the
clientinstance from the coreHandler will be used by default.
...functions: ((client?: Client) => Promise<void> | void )[] = []- Functions to run when the
execute()method is called, and the ready event has been emitted. Functions may take one parameter (client) or none.
- Functions to run when the
const { ReadyHandler, CoreHandler } = require("ic4d");
const core = new CoreHandler(client, "./logs");
const ready = new ReadyHandler(
core,
undefined, // we're not sharding for shit so leave it undefined.
(client) => {
console.log(`${client.user.tag} is ready!`);
},
() => {
console.log("Lol another function");
}
);Start listening for the bot's ready event and execute functions once the event is called.
const ready = new ReadyHandler(client, ...)
ready.execute()Command Handler, which handles slash command creation, deletion, editing and running of slash commands
core:CoreHandler- CoreHandler instance.
path: string- Path in which your exported command objects are stored. The handler will not work if you do not use path.
runFlags: RunFlags- (optional) Command Reader Options
loaderOptions: LoaderOptions- (optional) Command Loader Options
handlerFlags: HandlerFlags- (optional) Injection Options. (flags to set which do something while commandHandler is running)
shardClient: Client- (optional) The Discord.js Client instance to use. If provided, it should be a shard-specific client.
- If left undefined, the
clientinstance from the coreHandler will be used by default.
const { CommandHandler, CoreHandler } = require("ic4d");
const path = require("path");
const core = new CoreHandler(client, "./logs");
const handler = new CommandHandler(core, path.join(__dirname, "commands"));(asynchronous function)
logNoChanges: boolean- (optional) Log when loading a command and no changes are made
serverId: string- (optional) Register all commands in a specific server. if not provided it will be application wide
const handler = new CommandHandler(client, path.join(__dirname, "commands"));
async () => {
await handler.registerCommands();
};(asynchronous function)
middleWare: ( ( commandObject: Object, interaction?: ChatInputCommandInteraction ) => number | Promise )[]- Functions to run BEFORE a command is run.
postWare: ( ( commandObject: Object, interaction?: ChatInputCommandInteraction ) => any )[]- Functions to run AFTER the command's callback has been called.
const handler = new CommandHandler(core, path.join(__dirname, "commands"));
const blacklisted = ["302983482377931"];
const blacklist = (commandObject, interaction) => {
if (commandObject.blacklist && blacklisted.includes(interaction.user.id)) {
interaction.reply({
content: "Daang you blacklisted my guy.",
ephemeral: true,
});
return 1;
}
return 0;
};
const addXp = (commandObject, interaction) => {
if (commandObject.category != "economy") return;
interaction.reply({
content: "Ayo! Free Xp +2",
ephemeral: true,
});
};
await handler.handleCommands([blacklist], [addXp]);Note
This is ONLY for middleWare and does NOT apply to postWare functions.
It does not matter what postWare functions return as ic4d does not use that value at all.
Middleware is to define your own custom functions you want to run when a command is run by anyone. This can be a function to check for cooldown or function to add XP to a user.
Middleware that the package already contains is :
- Check to see if developer command
- Check to see if bot has sufficient permissions
- Check to see if user has sufficient permissions
The Middleware must take in these parameters
commandObject: This is the commandObject that every command contains, this can check for the commands name, description, options, choices or a custom property you wishinteraction(optional): If the middleware function requires you to take in interaction for some reason, here you go 😃
And should always return 1 or another number. If it returns 1 it counts as a fail so the function won't proceed. Another number returned is okay seen as a pass and the function continues. (If you don't understand, if a normal user tries to run a dev command, it will return 1, which means it wont run and their met with a fail message)
Here i define a command with the custom property canBeServerDisabled
const {SlashCommandManager} = require("ic4d");
const {SlashCommandBuilder} = require("discord.js");
const rob = new SlashCommandManager({
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName("rob")
.setDescription("Rob users")
execute: (interaction, client) => {
interaction.reply("bang bang!");
},
});
rob.canBeServerDisabled = true;
module.exports = robAnd in my middleware function i check if the command has been server disabled, if the property is enabled.
const isServerDisabled = (name) => {
// check to see if the function has been disabled by the server, if so return true, otherwise false.
};
const middleWare = (commandObject, interaction) => {
// you can name the parameters whatever you want, ass long as you remember which one is which.
if (
commandObject.canBeServerDisabled &&
isServerDisabled(commandObject.name)
) {
interaction.reply({
content: "This command is server disabled",
ephemeral: true,
});
return 1;
}
return 0;
};
handler.handleCommands([middleWare]); // pass the function alone without brackets or its parameters, i'll do that magicHandler to handle interactions.
Context Menus work a bit differently then the other interactions, please refer to registerContextMenus()
core:CoreHandler- CoreHandler instance.
path: string- Path to where interactions are stored.
loaderOptions: LoaderOptions- (optional) Context Menu Loader Options
flags: InteractionHandlerFlags- (optional) Interaction Handler Flags
shardClient: Client- (optional) The Discord.js Client instance to use. If provided, it should be a shard-specific client.
- If left undefined, the
clientinstance from the coreHandler will be used by default.
const { InteractionHandler, CoreHandler } = require("ic4d");
const path = require("path");
const core = new CoreHandler(client, "./logs");
const interactions = new InteractionHandler(
core,
path.join(__dirname, "commands")
);Start listening for all the available interactions. (Context Menus, Buttons, Select Menus and Modals)
authorOnlyMsg: string- (optional) Message to display when a interacts with another user's interaction (onlyAuthor is set to true.)
...middleWare: ((interaction?: Interaction) => number)[]- Functions to run before an interaction is run.
interactions.start();Start listening for button interactions.
authorOnlyMsg: string- (optional) Message to display when a user click's another user's button (onlyAuthor is set to true.)
...middleWare: ((interaction?: Interaction) => number)[]- Functions to run before a button is run.
interactions.buttons();Start listening for select menu interactions.
authorOnlyMsg: string- (optional) Message to display when a user click's another user's select menu (onlyAuthor is set to true.)
...middleWare: ((interaction?: Interaction) => number)[]- Functions to run before a select menu is run.
interactions.selectMenu();Start listening for modal interactions. (After their registered)
...middleWare: ((interaction?: Interaction) => number)[]- Functions to run before a modal is shown.
interactions.modals();Start listening for context menu interactions. (After their registered)
...middleWare: ((interaction?: Interaction) => number)[]- Functions to run before a context menu is run.
interactions.contextMenus();Exactly like Command Middleware, where 1 will return and any number will continue execution. Only difference is here the only parameter you get is interaction.
function isAuthor(interaction) {
// the handler does this for you (check the InteractionObject) but im writing this as an example only.
const author = interaction.message.interaction.user.id;
const clicker = interaction.member.user.id;
return clicker === author ? 1 : 0;
}
function lucky(interaction) {
// randdom one
return 1 == 1 ? 1 : 0; // will always return 1.
}
// some other code
interactions.buttons("This isn't your button!", isAuthor); // this will only run for buttons.
interactions.start(undefined, lucky); // will run for every interactions(asynchronous function)
Registers Context Menus that are found in the path given tot he InteractionHandler.
logAll: string- (optional) Log context menu even if no change was performed.
serverId: string- (optional) Register all commands in a specific server. if not provided it will be application wide
await interactions.registerContextMenus();This class represents a single command that is immediately exported from a file in the "commands" directory of your choosing

This configuration is specifically used to control various runtime aspects of command execution.
Default value: undefined
The ID of the test guild for command testing purposes. If provided, commands will be deployed only to this guild.
Default value: []
An array of Discord user IDs (snowflakes) that have developer privileges.
Commands or functionalities restricted to developers will be accessible to users with IDs in this array.
Default value: "Only developers are allowed to run this command."
The message shown when a command restricted to developers is executed by a non-developer.
Default value: "Not enough permissions."
The message displayed when a user lacks the necessary permissions to execute a command.
Default value: "I don't have enough permissions."
The message displayed when the bot lacks the necessary permissions to execute a command.

onlyDev: "Text to display when a user runs a developer command.",
userNoPerms: "Text to display when the user has insufficient permissions",
botNoPerms: "Text to display when the bot has insufficient permissions",
};An interface that represents anything you can do with the commands when they are run, BUT before YOUR code executes.
Default value: false
Enable debugger mode. Prints(almost) everything that happens behind the scenes of course not with the API itself.
Default value: false
Disabling Logging of the Command Loader. Not advisable but hey it's your bot.
Default value: false
Whether or not this is the production version of the bot. If set to true, commands labelled isDev will NOT be loaded. (Use the setDev() method in SlashCommandManager)
Default value: false
Clears ALL application commands on startup. (Slash commands, User commands, and Message commands.)
Default value: (CoreHandler value) or false
When debugger mode is enabled, Either log to console or a file.
const obj: LoaderOptions = {
debugger: true,
production: true,
disableLogs: true,
};An interface that represents anything you can do with the interactions when they are run, BUT before YOUR code executes.
Default value: false
Enable Debugger mode. Prints (almost) everything that happens behind the scenes of course not with the API itself.
Default value: false
Disabling Logging of the Context Menu Loader. Not advised but hey it's your bot. Default is false.
Default value: false
Clears Context Menus
Default value: (CoreHandler value) or false
When debugger mode is enabled, Either log to console or a file.
Interface that represents default string values for the loader to log to the console when it encounters a command/context menu.
Make sure you keep NAME in the string or else you will not know what happened to which command.
If there is no log in the console for a specific command, then it has been loaded, there are no edits and it has not been deleted.
Note:
These have multiple default values, as context menus and commands are different.
What to show for context menus/commands that load in
What to show for context menus/commands that gets edited.
What to show for context menus/commands that gets deleted.
What to show for context menus/commands that gets skipped. (Deleted and still marked as deleted.)
What to show for context menus/commands that gets loaded, but has no changes
const obj: LoaderOptions = {
loadedNoChanges: "NAME was loaded. No changes were made to NAME.",
loaded: "NAME has been registered successfully.",
edited: "NAME has been edited.",
deleted: "NAME has been deleted.",
skipped: "NAME was skipped. (Command deleted or set to delete.)",

manager.spawn();- Example: You have where a variable needs to be shared from the slash command callback to the interaction callback. Here there are 3 methods (1 being the recommended approach)
Method 1 involves:
Setting and retrieving an outside variable which the slash and interaction callback can receive
Method 2 involves:
Adding a property to the slash command object itself and retrieving that property later in the interaction callback.
// method 1
let variable = "";
const test = new SlashCommandManager({
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName("test")
.setDescription("Just a test")
.addStringOption((option) =>
option
.setName("string")
.setDescription("some input")
.setRequired(true)
),
async execute(interaction, client) {
try {
await interaction.deferReply();
const itemName = interaction.options.get("string").value;
// method 1 (global variable)
variable = itemName;
// method 2 (adding a property)
test.variable = itemName;
await interaction.editReply({
content: "Huh?",
components: [
new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(
new ButtonBuilder()
.setCustomId("hello")
.setLabel("click now")
.setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
),
],
});
} catch (e) {
errorHandler(e, client, interaction, EmbedBuilder);
}
},
}).addInteractions(button);
const button = new InteractionBuilder()
.setType("button")
.setCustomId("hello")
.setCallback(async (i, c) => {
// method 1
const itemName = variable;
//method 2
const itemName = test.variable;
await i.update({ content: itemName, components: [] });
});
module.exports = test;Method 1 issue:
Concurrency issues: The main problem with this method is that if multiple users run the command simultaneously, the variable is overwritten by the most recent execution. This means that data intended for one user could be exposed or altered by another user’s command, leading to unexpected behavior and security issues.
Method 2 issue(s):
Shared State: Although this method keeps the variable associated with the specific command object, it still doesn't address the issue of multiple users running the command. If two users execute the command, the stored value will change to reflect the most recent one, causing similar issues to the global variable method.
Not Scoped Per Interaction: This approach doesn’t effectively isolate variables for individual interactions, which can lead to data being inadvertently shared between users.
This uses a new function passed into SlashCommandManager execute function (in the constructor object), which you can use to pass anything to the interactions associated with this command. (Returns void);
k: { [key: string]: any }- Object of variables to save and be referenced later in interactions associated with this command.
Then to use these variables, in either the setCallback or setTimeout method of the InteractionBuilder, add the optional parameter variables which returns the object you passed (hopefully)
Example:
const test = new SlashCommandManager({
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName("test")
.setDescription("Just a test")
.addStringOption((option) =>
option
.setName("string")
.setDescription("some input")
.setRequired(true)
),
// here we add the function in the parameter list
async execute(interaction, client, addInteractionVariables) {
try {
await interaction.deferReply();
const itemName = interaction.options.get("string").value;
await interaction.editReply({
content: "Huh?",
components: [
new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(
new ButtonBuilder()
.setCustomId("hello")
.setLabel("click now")
.setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
),
],
});
// using the function
addInteractionVariables({ itemName });
} catch (e) {
errorHandler(e, client, interaction, EmbedBuilder);
}
},
}).addInteractions(button);
const button = new InteractionBuilder()
.setType("button")
.setCustomId("hello")
// add the variables to the parameter list
.setCallback(async (i, c, variables) => {
// using the variable in the callback
await i.update({ content: variables.itemName, components: [] });
});This method will always find the variables associated with the message sent by the bot. (This method may not work if you have something like a modal before a bot response as it uses the messageId as a unique identifier.)
(Better explanation)
addInteractionVariables()function ties variables to unique message Ids AND the custom IDs of the slash command, ensuring that data remains scoped to specific interactions and is not shared or overwritten between users. This approach enhances data safety by preventing concurrency issues and ensuring only the relevant interaction can access its data. It also sorta simplifies the process of passing data between commands and interactions
If any of the approaches don't help your use case. It's always best to just use Message collectors
-
Example: This function is in the
commandsdirecotory as it is used by multiple commands, but is not a commands itself.const function a(userBalance) { return userBalance > 0 ? true : false; } module.exports = a;
- The Command Reader will try to read it but error as it is not a command it can read, to avoid this, make sure you export the
isCommand(Set to false) property with the function.
const function a(userBalance) { return userBalance > 0 ? true : false; } module.exports = {a, isCommand = false};
- Usually, the reader should skip over anything it can read, but if needed, this will immediately make it skip.
- The Command Reader will try to read it but error as it is not a command it can read, to avoid this, make sure you export the
Huge credit to underctrl, Code would've not been possible if i did not watch his helpful discord.js tutorials! I had to give him credit because this package is based off moving all those files fromm his tutorial into one package.
He probably has a way better package, so go check his out!
