dpyslash 1.2.0

Improves slash commands for Python

Pyslash

Pyslash is a wrapper around discord-py-slash-command, that makes command creation more natural.

The examples provided are based of the examples from the original repository.

Quick startup

Firstly you must install the package, as explained here.

A simple setup using slash and adding a basic command.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from pyslash import SlashCommand, SlashContext

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
s = SlashCommand(bot)

@s.slash(name="test")
async def _test(ctx: SlashContext, arg0: str):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="embed test")
    await ctx.send(content=arg0, embeds=[embed])

bot.run("discord_token")

As of 1.1.0, you no longer need to import slash from pyslash and provide the instance as the first variable, as pyslash now has a subclass of SlashCommand that does this for you.

Converters are automatically handled, for example

@s.slash(name="test")
async def _test(ctx: SlashContext, member: discord.Member):
    await ctx.send(f"*taps mic* testing, {member.mention}")

And names don't have to be given

@s.slash()
async def foo(ctx: SlashContext, member: discord.Member):
    # This command will automatically be called 'foo'
    await ctx.send(f"Hello, {member.mention}")

Descriptions

By default, each argument and command has the description No description, but that can be changed by providing a docstring. Docstrings are supported as provided by docstring-parser — at time of writing, that is ReST, Google, and Numpydoc.

from typing import Tuple, Literal

# ...

@s.slash()
async def foo(ctx: SlashContext, member: discord.Member):
    """
    My command description here!

    :param member: my description here
    """
    # This command will automatically be called 'foo', and have the description
    # "My command description here!", and the argument `member` will have the
    # description "my description here".
    await ctx.send(f"Hello, {member.mention}")

It's also possible to pass the command description through the decorator as follows, although that's not recommended (and will override any docstring provided description):

@s.slash(description="My description!")
async def command(ctx):
    pass

Advanced usage

The same usage applies for cogs, but a different function is used.

# bot.py
from discord.ext import commands
from pyslash 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 pyslash import SlashContext, slash_cog

class Slash(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @slash_cog(name="test")
    async def _test(self, ctx: SlashContext):
        await ctx.send("Hey there folks")

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Slash(bot))

Installation

To install from pip, run

pip install dpyslash

To install from source, clone the repository and then build:

git clone https://github.com/starsflower/discordpy-slash-commands.git
cd discordpy-slash-commands
python setup.py install

Tests

To run basic tests, run

python -m tests/test

To run the test bot (that requires BOT_TOKEN in the environment variables), and a further pip requirement of python-dotenv

python -m tests/test_bot
