Handle Manual Bot Command Registration In `bin/deploy-commands.js` Only

by ADMIN 72 views

Introduction

In the context of bot command registration, it's essential to maintain a consistent and organized approach. Currently, legacy text commands are registered in bin/deploy-commands.js alongside slash commands. However, points and party parrot are both registered directly inside their command files, leading to an awkward split in where commands are registered. This article proposes a solution to register all commands in bin/deploy-commands.js and command files only responsible for their definitions.

Problem Statement

The current implementation of bot command registration has several issues:

  • Legacy text commands are registered in bin/deploy-commands.js alongside slash commands.
  • Points and party parrot are registered directly inside their command files.
  • This leads to an awkward split in where commands are registered.
  • Command files are responsible for both registration and definition, creating a circular dependency.

Acceptance Criteria

To address the issues mentioned above, the following acceptance criteria must be met:

Remove registerBotCommand() from the points and party-parrot files

The registerBotCommand() function should be removed from the points and party-parrot files to avoid any potential circular dependencies.

Remove the glob/requiring of points and party-parrot in index.js

The glob/requiring of points and party-parrot in index.js should be removed to simplify the code and avoid any potential issues.

Split bot-commands/points/points.js into two files - add-points.js and deduct-points.js

The bot-commands/points/points.js file should be split into two separate files, add-points.js and deduct-points.js, each responsible for a separately registered command.

Amend exports for points and party-parrot

The exports for points and party-parrot should be amended to allow them to be set in the Map in bot-commands/index.js.

Register points and party-parrot commands alongside legacy text commands in bin/deploy-commands.js

Points and party-parrot commands should be registered alongside legacy text commands in bin/deploy-commands.js to maintain a consistent and organized approach.

Solution

To address the issues mentioned above, the following solution can be implemented:

Remove registerBotCommand() from the points and party-parrot files

The registerBotCommand() function should be removed from the points and party-parrot files to avoid any potential circular dependencies.

// Remove registerBotCommand() from points.js
// Remove registerBotCommand() from party-parrot.js

Remove the glob/requiring of points and party-parrot in index.js

The glob/requiring of points and party-parrot in index.js should be removed to simplify the code and avoid any potential issues.

// Remove glob/requiring of points and party-parrot in index.js

Split bot-commands/points/points.js into two files - add-points.js and deduct-points.js

The bot-commands/points/points.js file should be split into two separate files, add-points.js and deduct-points.js, each responsible for a separately registered command.

// Split bot-commands/points/points.js into two files - add-points.js and deduct-points.js

Amend exports for points and party-parrot

The exports for points and party-parrot should be amended to allow them to be set in the Map in bot-commands/index.js.

// Amend exports for points and party-parrot

Register points and party-parrot commands alongside legacy text commands in bin/deploy-commands.js

Points and party-parrot commands should be registered alongside legacy text commands in bin/deploy-commands.js to maintain a consistent and organized approach.

// Register points and party-parrot commands alongside legacy text commands in bin/deploy-commands.js

Benefits

The proposed solution has several benefits:

  • Consistency: All commands are registered in bin/deploy-commands.js, maintaining a consistent and organized approach.
  • Simplification: Command files are only responsible for their definitions, simplifying the code and avoiding potential issues.
  • Circular Dependency Avoidance: The removal of registerBotCommand() from the points and party-parrot files avoids any potential circular dependencies.

Conclusion

Q: What is the current issue with bot command registration?

A: The current implementation of bot command registration has several issues:

  • Legacy text commands are registered in bin/deploy-commands.js alongside slash commands.
  • Points and party parrot are registered directly inside their command files.
  • This leads to an awkward split in where commands are registered.
  • Command files are responsible for both registration and definition, creating a circular dependency.

Q: What are the benefits of registering all commands in bin/deploy-commands.js?

A: The benefits of registering all commands in bin/deploy-commands.js include:

  • Consistency: All commands are registered in a single location, maintaining a consistent and organized approach.
  • Simplification: Command files are only responsible for their definitions, simplifying the code and avoiding potential issues.
  • Circular Dependency Avoidance: The removal of registerBotCommand() from the points and party-parrot files avoids any potential circular dependencies.

Q: How do I remove registerBotCommand() from the points and party-parrot files?

A: To remove registerBotCommand() from the points and party-parrot files, you can simply delete the function calls from the respective files.

// Remove registerBotCommand() from points.js
// Remove registerBotCommand() from party-parrot.js

Q: How do I remove the glob/requiring of points and party-parrot in index.js?

A: To remove the glob/requiring of points and party-parrot in index.js, you can simply delete the respective lines of code.

// Remove glob/requiring of points and party-parrot in index.js

Q: How do I split bot-commands/points/points.js into two files - add-points.js and deduct-points.js?

A: To split bot-commands/points/points.js into two files - add-points.js and deduct-points.js, you can create two new files and move the respective code from points.js to the new files.

// Split bot-commands/points/points.js into two files - add-points.js and deduct-points.js

Q: How do I amend exports for points and party-parrot?

A: To amend exports for points and party-parrot, you can modify the exports to allow them to be set in the Map in bot-commands/index.js.

// Amend exports for points and party-parrot

Q: How do I register points and party-parrot commands alongside legacy text commands in bin/deploy-commands.js?

A: To register points and party-parrot commands alongside legacy text commands in bin/deploy-commands.js, you can add the respective command registrations to the bin/deploy-commands.js file.

// Register points and party-parrot commands alongside legacy text commands in bin/deploy-commands.js

Q: What are the potential issues with the current implementation of bot command registration?

A: The potential issues with the current implementation of bot command registration include:

  • Circular Dependencies: Command files are responsible for both registration and definition, creating a circular dependency.
  • Complexity: The current implementation is complex and difficult to maintain.
  • Inconsistency: The current implementation is inconsistent, with different commands registered in different locations.

Q: How can I avoid potential issues with the current implementation of bot command registration?

A: To avoid potential issues with the current implementation of bot command registration, you can:

  • Register all commands in bin/deploy-commands.js: This will simplify the code and avoid potential issues.
