A simple discord slash command handler for discord.py

discord-py-slash-command

Discord Slash Commands are a new implementation for the Bot API that utilize the forward-slash "/" symbol. Released on 15 December 2020, many bot developers are still learning to learn how to implement this into their very own bots. This command handler aims to help serve as a guidance for those looking into wanting to add these new slash commands into their bots for those that use discord.py, building off of the current library code and substituting its own for where it's needed. discord-py-slash-command stands as the first public slash command handler library to be made for Discord Bot API libraries.

Installation

You are able to easily install the discord-py-slash-command library by using the given PIP line below:

pip install -U discord-py-slash-command

Examples

Quick Startup

This is a quick startup method towards using slash commands.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
slash = SlashCommand(bot)

@slash.slash(name="test")
async def _test(ctx: SlashContext):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="embed test")
    await ctx.send(content="test", embeds=[embed])

bot.run("discord_token")

# bot.py
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_slash import SlashCommand

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="prefix")
slash = SlashCommand(bot, sync_commands=True, sync_on_cog_reload=True)

bot.load_extension("cog")
bot.run("TOKEN")

# cog.py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_slash import cog_ext, SlashContext

class Slash(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @cog_ext.cog_slash(name="test")
    async def _test(self, ctx: SlashContext):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="embed test")
        await ctx.send(content="test", embeds=[embed])

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Slash(bot))
