Slash_commands and interactions

[jbaumgarten]

Hi guys,

I have several servers where there are some slash commands to interact with it.
Some slash commands requires some parameters which are, I suppose, a kind of context.
Is it possible to use that commands with this library?

Some slash commands take channel member as argument

You can see some examples of Slash Commands in the examples folder:

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/app_commands

Parameters to slash commands work the same as adding parameters to a Python function, you can use type annotations to make them take different types of input, for example discord.Member for members, int for numbers, etc.

@client.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(member='The member you want to get the joined date from')
async def joined(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    """Says when a member joined."""
    # The format_dt function formats the date time into a human readable representation in the official client
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'{member} joined {discord.utils.format_dt(member.joined_at)}')

You can see more info about the supported annotations here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Namespace

Impersonating a non-bot user is against the Discord TOS and not possible with this library.

As far as I know, automating the usage of slash commands is not currently possible not even as a bot user.

Yes I know it's against the Discord TOS but ... :)

You will not receive help from this repo on userbotting.
