Mention Arguments

Sometimes instead of receiving a value, like a string or a number, argument must be a mention.

In this chapter we will show you how to write the PokeCommand, that will receive the argument:

• user

The user argument must be a mention. We will then send a private message to the user.

Writing the PokeCommand

path/to/your/app/src/Commands/PokeCommand.ts

import { Command, BaseCommand, Argument, Mention } from "discapp";

@Command()

export class PokeCommand extends BaseCommand {

@Argument()

public user: Mention;

public execute() {

this.user.send("👉");

}

}

info

The Mention type extends from User of Discord.js so you can use all the methods from it.

Testing PokeCommand

You can test the PokeCommand by sending:

!poke @(you)

Your bot should send 👉 as a private message.
