Slash Commands:

• Example Location of command: "./src/commands/(category)/(command)"

const { SlashCommandBuilder, PermissionsFlagsBits } = require("discord.js");

export default {
    owner: boolean, //  whether command can only be used by the bot owner?
    developer: boolean, // weather the command is for developer guild or global: true or false
    category: "category",
    cooldown: [number, "interval"], // how long to wait for the command to be used again. intervals: "sec", "min", "hr", "day", "month", "year"
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('name') // command name - Must be lowercase!!
        .setDescription('description') // command description
        .setDefalultMemberPermissions(PermissionsFlagsBits.<permission>), // member permissions
  async execute (interaction, client) => {
    // Code here
  },
};

    category: "category",
    cooldown: [number, "interval"], // how long to wait for the command to be used again. intervals: "sec", "min", "hr", "day", "month", "year"
    owner: boolean, // whether command can only be used by the bot owner?
    enabled: boolean, // whether the command can be executed?
    aliases: [], // other words that can activate this command. separate with commas: ["test", "te", "t"]
  async execute (interaction, client) => {
    // Code here
  },
};

      id: "custom_id", // Must be lowercase
    },
