Creating commands

Kordify provides a very simple API to create slash commands.

Command class

You can create command by creating a new object inheriting world.anhgelus.kordify.api.commands.Command.

package my.package

import world.anhgelus.kordify.api.commands.Command
import net.dv8tion.jda.api.events.interaction.command.SlashCommandInteractionEvent

object MyCommand : Command() {
    override val name = "my-command"
    override val description = "My own command"
    
    override fun handle(event: SlashCommandInteractionEvent) {
        //
    }
}

There are 3 overrides in this object.

name variable is the name of the command. (Here we will be able to call this command with /my-name.)

description variable is the description of the command.

handle is the method called when the command is used by a user. You can get every important information in event.

Adding options

You can add options to your command using the method addOption(OptionData) from world.anhgelus.kordify.api.commands.Command. net.dv8tion.jda.api.interactions.commands.build.OptionData represents an option for slash commands. It comes from JDA and you can check the documentation about OptionData here.

fun start() {
    MyCommand.addOption(
        OptionData(OptionType.STRING, "say", "What to say")
    )
}

Registering the command

Now we can register the command. We just have to call register() from somewhere, so let's do this from our method start()!

fun start() {
    MyCommand.register()
}
