const client = new CoreClient();
client.start();

Writing Commands

The code below will reply to the user with 'PONG' when they type {PREFIX}ping

// Ping.ts

import { Command, ICommandContext } from "vylbot-core";

export default class Ping extends Command {
	constructor() {
		super();
		this._roles = [ "Moderator" ];
		this._category = "General";
	}
	
	public override execute(context: ICommandContext) {
		context.message.reply('PONG');
	}
}

• roles: An array containing what roles the user needs in order to run the command.
• category: The category the role is part of, useful for categorising commands together in a help command.

The context parameter contains the following:

• name: The command name
• args: An array of arguments supplied with the command
• message: The Discord Message object for the command message sent

import { GuildMember } from "discord.js";

export class Moderation extends Event {
	public override guildMemberAdd(member: GuildMember) {
		console.log(`Member Joined: ${member.tag}`);
	}
}
