# Slash Commands in Discord.js

These are some simple examples for using Slash Commands in discord.js.  
discord.js doesn't have full support for slash commands yet ([there's a wip pr]()) but you can still use the underlying api and websocket to use them.  
Note that discord.js doesn't officially support using client.api, this is basically just a workaround until they fully release support.

Please read [Discord's Slash Command docs](https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/slash-commands) since they have actual docs and details for slash commands; the code examples below are just how you can implement it using discord.js.

### receiving the event:

```js
client.ws.on("INTERACTION_CREATE", async interaction => {
  // interaction is an Interaction object https://discord.dev/interactions/slash-commands#interaction
})
```

### registering a global command:

```js
// global commands take up to an hour to deploy
// if your application id and bot id are different, change client.user.id to the application id
client.api.applications(client.user.id).commands.post({data: {
    name: 'ping',
    description: 'ping pong!'
}})
```

registering a guild command:
```js
// guild commands deploy immediately - use these for testing
// if your application id and bot id are different, change client.user.id to the application id
client.api.applications(client.user.id).guilds('guild id').commands.post({data: {
    name: 'ping',
    description: 'ping pong!'
}})
```

### responding to an interaction:

```js
client.api.interactions(interaction.id, interaction.token).callback.post({data: {
  type: 4,
  data: {
    content: 'hello world!'
    }
  }
})
```
