Handling Message Commands

Currently the @lilybird/handlers package provides only one way of handling application commands, however, I can assure you there are more to come.

Creating a simple command

Let’s create a simple ping command to demonstrate how it works.

index.ts
import { createClient, Intents } from "lilybird";
import { createHandler } from "@lilybird/handlers/simple";


const listeners = await createHandler({
    dirs: {
        messageCommands: `${import.meta.dir}/commands`,
    }
})


await createClient({
  token: process.env.TOKEN,
  intents: [Intents.GUILDS],
  listeners: {/* your listeners */}
  ...listeners
})
commands/ping.ts
import { MessageCommand } from "@lilybird/handlers/simple";


export default {
  name: "ping",
  run: async (message, args) => {
    const { ws, rest } = await message.client.ping();


    await message.reply({
      content: `🏓 WebSocket: \`${ws}ms\` | Rest: \`${rest}ms\``
    });
  },
} satisfies MessageCommand
