CommandHandler

The CommandHandler namespace is the principle namespace you have to use throughout your project to access every features of the module.

CommandHandler is a namespace because it simplifies places where you want to have all the functions/variables that the CommandHandler offers, without importing it in every command/event/other.

It also prevents you from creating/launching multiple CommandHandler from one process.

Creating your CommandHandler

In order to initialize your CommandHandler, you have to use the create function with the needed options.

index.js

const {CommandHandler} = require('advanced-command-handler');

CommandHandler.create({
    commandsDir: 'commands',
    eventsDir: 'events',
    
    // these are optionals :
    prefixes: ['!'],
    owners: ['your ID'],
    saveLogsInFile: ['logs.txt']
    useMentionAsPrefix: true,
});

By default prefixes will be ! and the mention of your bot.

The ownersproperty is only used for the Tag.ownerOnly tag with the default message event.

Launching the CommandHandler

To launch the CommandHandler, use the launch method and put the token of your bot, you can also put here clientOptions, you can see here an example of this :

index.js

CommandHandler.launch({
    token: 'the token of your bot',
    
    // this is optional :
    clientOptions: {
        ws: {
            intents: ['GUILDS', 'GUILD_MESSAGES']
        }
    }
});

Presence

You have two options for setting the presence of your bot.

• You can set the presence property as the presence you want as a PresenceData.
• You can set the presences property as an array of presences as PresenceDatas. If you use it, by default it will cycle between presences, you can disable this behavior by setting the propertycycleBetweenPresences to false and it will thus use the first presence you set. You can also change the duration between cycles using the cycleDuration property that take a number as seconds, and is set by default to 60.

Loading Commands & Events

The CommandHandler will automatically load and handle your commands & events, if they are all in the correct path you put.

But you can still use the .loadXs(directory) and .loadX(directory, name) functions of the CommandHandler namespace at any time (but it's recommended to use them before launching the CommandHandler.

CommandHandler events

Documentation

The CommandHandler class is extending the EventEmitter class, which means that there are events that can be hooked. Click on the title of the section to see the list of events.
