About

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

Disclaimer

Since slash commands are currently not officially released (They're in public beta), there will be many breaking changes to this extension which may cause it to become unstable. It is recommended to wait until discord officially releases slash commands. Waiting until Release 1.1.0, which is planned to have most features implemented in the code, is also recommended. At this time, the developer of discord.py has no plans to officially support slash commands for their library.

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")

Advanced

This offers implementation of the slash command library in the usage of a cog.

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

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="prefix")
slash = SlashCommand(bot, override_type = 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))
