Creating commands

In the previous page, we mentioned importing commands from ./commands/commands.mjs and recursively loading them. In this page, we'll go over how to actually create that file.

Creating the file​

First, we'll create the file. We'll call it commands.mjs and put it in a folder called commands.

mkdir commands
touch commands/commands.mjs
// commands/commands.mjs
import Ping from './core/ping.mjs';

export default [Ping];

This file is the entry point for all of our commands. It's where we'll import all of our commands and export them as an array.

Creating the command​

Now, we'll create the command. We'll call it ping and put it in a folder called core.

mkdir commands/core
touch commands/core/ping.mjs
export default {
    name: 'ping',
    description: 'Ping the bot',

    run(interaction: ChatInputInteraction) {
        interaction.reply({
            content: 'Pong!',
        });
    },
};

This is the command itself. It's a simple ping command that replies with Pong! when you run it.
