## Example usage
2020-03-01 02:35:57 +13:00
2021-08-02 03:58:41 +12:00
First, we need to register a slash command against the Discord API:
```js
const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v9');
const commands = [{
name: 'ping',
description: 'Replies with Pong!'
}];
const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken('token');
(async () => {
try {
2021-08-04 11:44:05 +12:00
console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');
2021-08-02 03:58:41 +12:00
await rest.put(
Routes.applicationGuildCommands(CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID),
{ body: commands },
);
2021-08-04 11:44:05 +12:00
console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
2021-08-02 03:58:41 +12:00
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
2021-08-02 19:43:36 +12:00
})();
2021-08-02 03:58:41 +12:00
```
Afterwards we can create a quite simple example bot:
2017-04-20 04:14:37 +12:00
```js
2021-03-29 16:51:42 +13:00
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });
2017-04-20 04:14:37 +12:00
client.on('ready', () => {
2018-01-19 13:59:21 +13:00
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
2017-04-20 04:14:37 +12:00
});
2021-08-02 03:58:41 +12:00
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;
if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {
await interaction.reply('Pong!');
2017-04-20 04:14:37 +12:00
}
});
2018-01-19 13:59:21 +13:00
client.login('token');
2017-04-20 04:14:37 +12:00
```
