Methods

Interaction

Replying

Responds to an interaction. Example****

interaction.reply('Bello').then(console.log);

Edit

Edits an interaction response that was sent using the .reply()method. Example****

interaction.reply('Bello').then(m => {
    m.edit("Pog");
});

Delete

Deletes an interaction response that was sent using the .reply() method. Example****

interaction.reply('Bello').then(m => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        m.delete()
    }, 5000)
});

Follow-up Messages

Follow-up messages allow you to send multiple messages from a single interaction. Example****

let m = await interaction.reply("Bello");
let i = await m.reply("This is a follow-up message");
i.reply("This is another follow-up message").then(console.log);

Follow-up messages and interaction responses work with a unique interaction token which is generated when an interaction is created. This unique token is only valid for 15 minutes. Then, interaction response/follow-up messages sent after that won't be successful.

Ephemeral Responses

Using flags we can create ephemeral (private) responses. Example****

interaction.reply("Ephemeral  Message", { flags: 64 });

This will only respond to the author of the interaction, find the Docs here

Reactions

With Shandler's newest update we can now react to messages. Example****

interaction.reply('bello').then(m => m.message.react('👀'));

Attachments

Using Discord.js MessageAttachments, we are able to send attachments in our interactions. Example****

interaction.reply("", { files: [attachment] });

Embeds

Using Discord.js MessageEmbeds, we are able to send embeds in our interactions. Example****

interaction.reply("", { embed: embed, });

Send type 5 replies with ease. Example****

interaction.defer();
