@ming-suhi/djs-manager NPM

I. About

A package for managing Discord Interactions; Slash Commands, Button, and Select Menus, that comes with a Database Manager for Firestore. For an in-depth documentation visit the official website. For users who want to opt for a similar package without a database manager, check out @ming-suhi/djs-local-manager from the same developer.

II. Getting Started

A. Installation

Run npm install on the command line or terminal.

npm install @ming-suhi/djs-manager

B. Setting environment

Create a .env file in the root directory
```
BOT_TOKEN = 

COMMANDS_FOLDER =
```
Get the Discord bot's token and store it as BOT_TOKEN.
Create a folder to hold command files. Store the folder path from the root as COMMANDS_FOLDER.

C. Setting bot

Create an instance of Discord Client

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

Attach an instance of Manager Client

const Manager = require('@ming-suhi/djs-manager');
client.msdm = new Manager.Client();

D. Creating commands

Create a file inside the commands folder, file name must be the same as command name

Require/import Command

const {Command} = require('@ming-suhi/djs-manager');

Extend Command

const myCommand = new class extends Command {
  constructor() {
    super();
    // Properties here
  }
}

Set class properties

this.name = "mycommand";
this.description = 'my custom command';

Create execute method

async execute(service) {
  await service.send({content: 'Your command has been heard'});
}

Export created class

module.exports = myCommand;

Example

const {Command} = require('@ming-suhi/djs-manager');

const ping = new class extends Command {
  constructor() {
    super();
    this.name = "ping";
    this.description = 'pings bot to get latency';
  }

  async execute(service) {
    await service.send({content: 'Pong'});
  }
}

module.exports = ping;

E. Synching commands

It is suggested to sync commands on client ready. To sync commands just simply call on syncCommands method.

client.on('ready', async() => {
  client.msdm.syncCommands(client);
});

F. Setting interaction handler

This step setups an interaction handler that finds the corresponding file for the requested command. Upon receiving a slash command it calls on the executes method of that command. Upon receiving a button interaction it executes the onPress method, while receiving a select menu interaction executes the onSelect method.

client.ws.on('INTERACTION_CREATE', async interaction => {
  client.msdm.handleInteraction(client, interaction);
})

III. Working with the Database

A. Creating base documents

Listen to guildCreate

//Triggered when bot becomes a member of a guild
client.on('guildCreate', async guild => {
  //code here
});

Create guild doc. Fetch a pseduo-doc(not yet existing doc), and post to it basic infos. Create method posts name and id.
```
guildDb = await db.guilds.fetch(guild.id);
await guildDb.create(guild);
```

Create member docs. Loop through guild members and do the same process as with the earlier process for the guilds.

const members = await guild.members.fetch();
for (let member of members) {
  const memberDb = await guildDB.members.fetch(member.id);
  await memberDb.create(member);
}

Resulting Code:

client.on('guildCreate', async guild => {
  guildDb = await db.guilds.fetch(guild.id);
  await guildDb.create(guild);
  const members = await guild.members.fetch();
  for (let member of members) {
    const memberDb = await guildDB.members.fetch(member.id);
    await memberDb.create(member);
  }
});

B. Updating documents

Fetch document

const guildDb = await db.guilds.fetch(guildId);

Use update method

await guildDb.update({"updated": true});

Resulting Code:

const guildDb = await db.guilds.fetch(guildId);
await guildDb.update({"updated": true});
