discord-handles v7.3.5

Handles

For those of us who get frustrated with writing command handlers but don't quite want to use a full framework. Intended for use with Discord.js.

Documentation is available at handles.topkek.pw.

Getting started

Installation

npm install --save discord-handles

Or, if you want to risk cutting yourself, install the bleeding edge version:

npm install --save appellation/handles#master

Usually I try to avoid pushing broken code, but sometimes I move a little too fast.

The basics

const discord = require('discord.js');
const handles = require('discord-handles');

const client = new discord.Client();
const handler = new handles.Client(client);

client.login('token');

This will automatically load all commands in the ./commands directory and handle incoming messages. See Command in the docs for information on how to format the exports of the files you place in ./commands. Particularly of interest are the pre, exec, and post methods. The loader and handler can be configured according to Config options passed to the constructor.

const handler = new handles.Client(client, {
    directory: './some/other/awesome/directory',
    prefixes: new Set(['dank', 'memes'])
});

Here's an example of what you might place in the ./commands directory.

const { MessageMentions, Permissions } = require('discord.js');
const { Command, Argument, Validator } = require('discord-handles');

module.exports = class extends Command {
    static get triggers() {
        return ['banne', 'ban'];
    }

    async pre() {
        await this.guild.fetchMembers();

        await new Validator(this)
            .apply(this.guild.me.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.BAN_MEMBERS), 'I don\'t have permission to ban people.')
            .apply(this.member.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.BAN_MEMBERS), 'You don\'t have permission to ban people.');

        const member = await new Argument(this, 'member')
            .setResolver(c => {
                const member = this.guild.members.get(c);

                // if they provided a raw user ID
                if (member) return member;
                // if they mentioned someone
                else if (MessageMentions.USERS_PATTERN.test(c)) return this.guild.members.get(c.match(MessageMentions.USERS_PATTERN)[1]);
                // if they provided a user tag
                else if (this.guild.members.exists(u => u.tag === c)) return this.guild.members.find(u => u.tag === c);
                else return null;
            })
            .setPrompt('Who would you like to ban?')
            .setRePrompt('You provided an invalid user. Please try again.');

        await new Validator(this)
            .apply(member.bannable, 'I cannot ban this person.');
            .apply(member.highestRole.position < this.member.highestRole.position, 'You cannot ban this person.')

        await new Argument(this, 'days')
            .setResolver(c => parseInt(c) || null);
            .setOptional();
    }

    async exec() {
        await this.args.member.ban(this.args.days);
        return this.response.success(`banned ${this.args.member.user.tag}`);
    }
};
