Commands

The command builders allow you to configure Kord Extensions' command frameworks. Currently, Kord Extensions supports two primary command types:

Application commands, which include message, slash and user commands
Chat commands, which are commands via messages in Discord channels

For more information on commands and how to write them, see the dedicated documentation for them.

Application Commands

The applicationCommands builder allows you to configure the Kord Extensions application commands framework, which includes context (user and message) commands and slash commands.

ExtensibleBot(TOKEN) { // ... applicationCommands { defaultGuild(TEST_GUILD_ID) } }

Builders

Builder	Receiver	Description
`applicationCommandRegistry`		Register a callable object (usually a constructor) that returns an alternative implementation of the `ApplicationCommandRegistry` type.
`messageCommandCheck`	`MessageCommandCheck`	Register a check that will apply to all registered message commands.
`slashCommandCheck`	`SlashCommandCheck`	Register a check that will apply to all registered slash commands.
`userCommandCheck`	`UserCommandCheck`	Register a check that will apply to all registered user commands.

Functions

Function	Parameters	Description
`defaultGuild`	`Snowflake?`	Specify a guild to register all global application commands to. This is intended for testing, and will apply to all application commands that don't have a registration guild specified.
`defaultGuild`	`String?`	Specify a guild to register all global application commands to. This is intended for testing, and will apply to all application commands that don't have a registration guild specified.
`defaultGuild`	`ULong?`	Specify a guild to register all global application commands to. This is intended for testing, and will apply to all application commands that don't have a registration guild specified.

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
`enabled`	`Boolean`	`true`	Whether the application commands framework should be enabled. If your bot does not use application commands, setting this to `false` will completely disable them.
`register`	`Boolean`	`true`	Whether application commands should be registered with Discord automatically. Set this to `false` if you only want your bot to process commands, rather than registering them.

Chat Commands

The applicationCommands builder allows you to configure the Kord Extensions chat commands framework, which handles the parsing and processing of chat commands.

ExtensibleBot(TOKEN) { // ... chatCommands { defaultPrefix = "!" enabled = true invokeOnMention = true } }

Builders

Builder	Receiver	Parameters	Description
`check`		`MessageCreateEvent`	Register a check that will apply to all registered chat commands.
`prefix`	`MessageCreateEvent`	`String`	Set the prefix callback, which allows you to provide different command prefixes for different contexts. The `String` parameter represents the configured default prefix, which should be returned by the callback if no custom prefix is required.
`registry`		`MessageCreateEvent`	Register a callable object (usually a constructor) that returns an alternative implementation of the `ChatCommandRegistry` type.

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
`defaultPrefix`	`String`	`"!"`	The default command prefix, required before the name of a chat command at the start of a message. The `prefix` builder may be used when dynamic command prefixes are required.
`enabled`	`Boolean`	`false`	Whether the chat commands framework should be enabled. If your bot uses chat commands, setting this to `true` will enable them.
`ignoreSelf`	`Boolean`	`true`	Whether to ignore messages sent by the bot, and thus avoid executing commands invoked by it.
`invokeOnMention`	`Boolean`	`true`	Whether users should be able to run chat commands by mentioning the bot at the start of their message, instead of using the configured prefix.
